Sacred Minstrelsy;
A COLLECTION OF
SACRED MUSIC FROM THE FINEST WORKS OF THE GREAT
MASTERS, BRITISH AND FOREIGN.
ARRANGED AS SOLOS, AND CONCERTED PIECES, FOR PRIVATE PERFORMANCE,
WITH ACCOMPANIMENTS FOR THE PIANO-FORTE.
The exclusive nature of nearly all existing collections of Sacred Music, and the high price at which novelties are in general produced, renders this work particularly desirable. Many fine productions, at present comparatively unknown, would be hailed with delight as additions to the stores of Sacred Harmony, could they be procured in a familiar form and on reasonable terms.
The design of the present work, therefore, is to place within the reach of families, and of persons unaccustomed to playing from score, really good practical music; classical, yet not laboriously and uselessly learned; to introduce into the drawing-room many beautiful compositions of enduring value, which, if not altogether unknown, have rarely been heard except at Concerts or Oratorios; and thus to attract towards Sacred Music a portion of that patronage which is bestowed, in so disproportionate a degree, upon works of a secular kind.
Prefixed to each Volume are Biographical Sketches of the Authors whose compositions it contains, together with Historical and Critical Accounts of the Works upon which their respective reputations are principally founded.
