Beschreibung

Unknown edition. Transcribed for the piano by Jules Favre. Folio. 9pp. Printed wrappers. A contemporary stitched cloth repair along the entirety of the spine, six tape repairs to the front wrapper, soiling throughout though most severe on the front wrapper, edgewear, and a burn mark on the bottom of the front wrapper affecting throughout, a complete but good only copy. For three voices (alto, tenor, and bass) and piano. Plate imprint, "O! Willie brew'd - in E flat." "The music composed in imitation of the Scottish melody and dedicated to The Amateur Glee & Catch Club, Manchester" (from the front wrapper). Glee and catch clubs were popular from the late 18th century into the Victorian era and are considered to be distinctly English forms of composition and performance; glees are part songs written for multiple voices, as are catches though they're typically more humorous in subject and are performed as a round, in which two or more voices repeatedly sing the same melody but start at different times ("Row, Row, Row Your Boat" is a famous example). *OCLC* locates two holdings of this edition.
