INTRODUCTION In a readable and informative book, America's Music: from the Pilgrims to the Present (1955), Gilbert Chase distinguishes three phases of musical development in this country — preparation, expansion, fulfillment. Discussing the period of preparation, which for him runs to 1800, he distinguishes among gentlemen amateurs like Franklin and Francis Hopkinson, professional emigrants who came here to earn a livelihood, and native pioneers who, avoiding the dilettante approach, were in a real sense the first American composers. Among them are James Lyon, Andrew Law, Daniel Read, Timothy Swan, Samuel Holyoke, Oliver Holden, Supply Belcher (known as "the Handel of Maine"), Jeremiah Ingalls, and William Billings; and it is remarkable that practically all of them were New England men, a fact that throws an interesting sidelight on the supposed narrowness of the "Puritan" tradition. One name among these worthies that has vitality today is that of William Billings (1746-1800), whose tunes were sung in American churches late in the nineteenth century, whose "Chester" was played in the Revolutionary army, whose "Berlin"

forms the basis of Ross Lee Finney's "Variations, Fugueing and Rondo" (1943), and another of whose hymn tunes is basic to Otto Luening's "Prelude on a Hymn Tune by William Billings." Part of Billings' importance to us is that his music has seemed to contemporary American composers so indigenous and in some ways so close to their own idiom that they have incorporated it into their own works. We know too little about the first important American composer to do more than guess the kind of man he was. He was born in Boston, he had a scanty education, and he was a tanner by trade when he began composing music. He seems also to have been physically unattractive. One arm was withered, one leg was shorter than the other, he was blind in one eye, his voice was loud and harsh, and (possibly because of the tannery) he was said to be slovenly in dress and in appearance. Nevertheless he won the attention of Samuel Adams and other Boston ministers, and he became a recognized singing teacher, much in demand by local churches like the fashionable Brattle Street Church (where he taught briefly), one whose music was often per-

formed and anthologized. In 1770 he published The NewEngland Psalm-Singer, engraved by no less a person than Paul Revere; and this he revised and, he thought, improved as The Singing-Master's Assistant (1778), a work that went through as many as three editions. After three other books (Music in Miniature, 1779; The Psalm-Singer's Amusement, 1781; and The Suffolk Harmony, 1786) he published in 1794 one of the most charming of early American music books, The Continental Harmony, here reproduced. Although he died poor, it cannot be said that he was a neglected genius for his vogue and influence in New England were wide. Dr. William Bentley of Salem, one of the few sound linguists in America, wrote in his diary that Billings "may justly be considered as the father of our New England music. Many who have imitated have excelled him, but none of them had better original powers." 1 In December 1790, The Massachusetts Magazine in an article on "musick" remarked that: The present, indeed, seems to be an era for improvement in ^The Diary of William Bentley, D.D. (Salem, Mass., 1907), vol. 2, entry of Sept. 28, 1800.

musick as well as in other arts; and makers of (unes as well of poems, and other mental as well as manual manufactures, have been numerous in some of the American states.

This seems to point to an unusual activity in the musical world of Massachusetts at that time, an assumption confirmed by the interest of Isaiah Thomas of Worcester, well known for his publishing ventures in a number of fields, in bringing out music books for churches and for other groups. Thus Thomas published in 1786 The Worcester Collection of Sacred Music, the "advertisement" of which tells us not only that Billings was "the first person we know of that attempted to compose Church Musick, in the New-England states," but also that "several adepts in musick" have followed his example. Not surprisingly, then, we find that Isaiah Thomas and Ebenezer T. Andrews published Billings' The Continental Harmony. American music was of course derivative, but in reference to psalm-tunes the Puritan tradition was rather more independent than is commonly supposed, and music of this sort was popular enough to justify the printing of more than a hundred "tune-books" (that is, if we do not include re-issues and single pieces) between the 1760's and the earlier years of the nineteenth

INTRODUCTION century. The Continental Harmony belongs, then, to a considerable library. Like any other publication of its kind, it is divided into two parts: an exposition of musical theory, and the music itself, which consists of psalm-tunes (some of them "fuges"), a few pieces (possibly covered by the term "chorusses") in the same stylistic category but based on other than versified psalm-texts, as well as several anthems. That all of these compositions were "NEVER BEFORE PUBLISHED," as the frontispiece claims, must be qualified. "Connection,"2 printed at the opening of the book in the form of a circle but as a decorative feature unlisted in the index, appeared in the composer's The Singing-Master's Assistant of 1778 and Music in Miniature of 1779; from the latter publication, too, come "Creation" and "Revelation," though both are expanded and the two upper parts of the first piece modified. Finally, the concluding section of the 2 No author is mentioned for the three stanzas of "Connection." Whoever wrote them, possibly Billings himself, borrowed the words "Great is the Lord our God" from the opening of Watts's text that is associated with the 1778 edition of the music, and the words "Hail! Sacred Music" from the opening of the poem "On Musick," published in Billings' The New-England PsalmSinger (1770).

anthem "O Thou To Whom All Creatures Bow" stems from Billings' anthem "Peace" of c. 1783.3 The eight Lessons date back to 1778; they are a verbatim reprint (except for minor changes) of the larger part of the introduction in The Singing-Master's Assistant, which, in its turn, borrows most sentences in its two chapters on "Characters" from Royal Melody Compleat by the English composer William Tans'ur.4 Lesson II in The Continental Harmony derives from Thomas Walter's The Grounds and Rules of Music\ Explained (Boston, 1723, pp. 15-16). 5 The theoretical introduction of The Continental Harmony was for the use of teachers of the singing-schools organized in the first part of the century in order to raise the musical standard of the divine service in New England churches. These schools had gradually developed into what we now call singing-societies, though marked by a devotion 8 Pointed out by Ralph Th. Daniel, The Anthem In New England Before 1800, doctoral thesis, Harvard University, 1955, p. 190. 4 From the 1767 Boston reprint of the 3rd London edition (sec Irving Lowens, "The Origins Of The American Füging Tune," Journal Of The American Musicological Society, VI, 1 [Spring 1953], 49). Billings forgot to add the heading "Lesson VII" in The Continental Harmony, p. 10, line 3. 5 Also used in The New-England Psalm-Singer, chap, i; the jingle in The Continental Harmony, p. 25, appears here for the first time.

INTRODUCTION to an exclusively American repertoire of sacred music. Billings devotes a great deal of space in his introduction (not merely in the Lessons but also in the appended Dialogue) to two topics: transposition and tonality. His ideas are quite simple, but they are couched in a terminology that needs explaining. For the designation of the tones of our musical system he uses as many as three sets of symbols: ( i ) the traditional letters; (2) fa, sol, la (for C, D, E, and again for F , G , A ) and mi (for the remaining tone B ) ; (3) occasionally, the hexachord names of the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, such as G sol re ut and F fa ut. T w o points must be kept in mind in reading Billings' statements: mi, Β as well as B-mi, used interchangeably, constitute the seventh and frequently the "leading tone" in any major or minor scale and thus refer to a relative pitch; but, confusingly, Β (or B-mi) also refers to a definite pitch, when it is, as the composer says, at its "native place." A sentence such as "Mi is in B, and now the question is where is Β ?" (p. 24) sounds like a riddle, and yet it is merely eighteenth-century jargon for warning the singer that the last interval in the major scale (and often in the minor scale as well) is a minor second.

For example, if "B be flat, mi [the "leading tone" in what is now F major] is in E " (p. 4). Billings attaches paramount importance to an understanding of the major and minor scales (with C major and A minor representing "the two natural primitive keys") without which, he believes, " N o tune can be formed rightly or truly" (p. xi). Again his terminology differs from ours: he speaks of the "sharp" and the "flat" key. Passing up an opportunity to make an etymological point in commenting on the interval of the third in each (p. 2 1 ) , he merely characterizes the minor sixth in the flat key as "a flat and melancholy sound" and the major sixth in the sharp key as "very martial and sprightly" (p. 27). Obsessed by the function of B, he further states (p. 26) that if it is below the "key note" (tonic), it indicates a sharp key (B-C in C major); if above, a flat key (Α-B in A minor). Obviously his previous reference to Β as "the sharpest tone in the whole octave" 6 would have added only confusion to this 6 This happened when he attempted to explain (or rather to make pedagogically attractive) the circle of fifths (p. 2 4 ) . Fancifully he calls F "the flattest tone in the whole octave." T h e "next sharpest" tones are E , A , etc., the next flattest C, G , etc. And then comes the catchy conclusion:" it is a maxim with musicians to flat the sharpest tones first, and sharp the flattest" (i.e., Β flat in F major, E flat in Β flat major, etc.; F sharp in G major, C sharp in D major, etc.).

INTRODUCTION sentence, and he wisely chooses not to repeat it. Since the flat key has a major seventh between its first and penultimate tone, though the latter is to be raised in cadences (p. 27), it is basically Aeolian — an archaic feature in the eighteenth century. Sharp and flat keys, each unambiguous in psychological meaning, seem to him irreconcilable opposites. One is "sublime," "grand," "majestic"; the other "soft," "soothing," "pathetic" (p. 23), and he demands the strictest agreement between music and text, i.e., "flat keyed tunes [to be set] to melancholy words, and sharp keyed tunes to cheerful words" (p. 1 1 ) ; he regrets that he once made the mistake of composing a Hallelujah in a flat key (p. 22). 7 Billings further makes distinctions between specific keys. He considers G minor as "more pensive and melancholy" than A minor, and he indeed confirms this in his music, at least with an appropriate choice of texts. On the other 7

See the end of the anthem "Hear My Prayer O Lord" in The New-England Psalm-Singer. He should have also mentioned the Hallelujah and the preceding "cheerful" section in the anthem "Mourn, Mourn" in The Continental Harmony, pp. 149 to 1 5 1 . It seems though that he merely forgot to add natural signs before "Be glad then America/' since the melodic cadence that uses an F sharp (p. 150, score 2, m.i, counter) is applied only to his C major pieces and the % type of the tenor melody in the Hallelujah (p. 1 5 1 ) always appears in C major also.

hand, his conviction that D major is "much more sprightly and expresses a shout better" than C major remains pure theory (p. 26). From the introduction to The Continental Harmony we obtain valuable information about performance. There are first of all the so-called "moods." They function not merely as time signatures but, still largely obedient to the principle of the Renaissance tactus, they also indicate tempo. From the composer's detailed remarks (Lesson V I ) , we can construct the following table: 8 c Adagio c Largo D Allegro 2

J = MM. 6σ J = MM. 80 J = MM. 6cr J = MM. ΐ ΐ σ

J = MM. 80

J. = MM. 53 J. = MM. 80 [MM. 60 in The Sin gin g-Master's Assistant] J. = MM. 80

Any one of these "moods" must be modified if "a quick, "Note Billings' consistent use of "minum" (half note) instead of "minim" (derived from "minima"). To judge by his previous publications, he knew better, but a few misprints in The Singing-Master's Assistant must have struck his fancy and persuaded him to indulge his sense of "originality" even in such a small detail as this one.

INTRODUCTION

or slow term . . . [is] set over it," though this does not occur in The Continental Harmony except perhaps with such a marking as "Affettuoso." Billings then wants the tempo "one fourth part quicker or slower. . ." (pp. 20-21). Not only were the "moods" and their English models (like Tans'ur) known to earlier American composers but also the specific hand motions with which the singers graphically described the metrical patterns and by which they learned them. Billings explains these motions in Lesson V I but does not consider them mere teaching aids. He demands an emphatically metrical rendition of his music (p. 28), with accents on 1 in triple time and on 1 and 3 in common time (even in fuging tunes, if the "air [apparently the accents of the initial motive] can be preserved"), and he believes he can reinforce the meter by appropriate manual gymnastics: "through the medium of the eye, as well as the ear . . . [the beating of time] conveys the accents into the minds of the audience, and serves to strike the passions in an extraordinary manner . . ." (p. 19)· From. Billings' music alone one could not guess that it should be performed with precision in note values, co-

ordination of the voices (p. 19), and tempo. Particularly the tempo in each "mood" had to be observed literally. The singers did this by guiding themselves by pendulums — home-made contraptions made of "common thread well waxed" and a small, round piece of wood which had been rubbed over with "chalk, paint or white-wash, so that . . . [it] may be seen plainly by candle light" (p. 7). Because of frequent tempo and meter changes in Billings' music, no doubt several pendulums — at least two for The Continental Harmony — had to be kept going at the same time. There are but few dynamic indications. They are suggested by the "cheerful" or "melancholy" character of the text and the appropriate key. Volume is always straight; at only two places does it call for a "swell." Contrary to the concepts of polyphony, the entrance of each voice in fuging music is to be marked with increased strength 8 (P· 28). Like his contemporaries, Billings uses ornamentation but e See also The Singing-Master's Assistant, chap, xi: "and in performing Pieces where your part is sometimes silent [in a note Billings especially refers to "fuging Music"] . . . you must fall in with spirit\ because that gives the Audience to understand another part is added, which perhaps they would not be so sensible of, if you struck in soft."

INTRODUCTION limits himself to the "grace of transition" (pp. 21 and 2 7 28). While he previously applied it to thirds, fourths, and, in cadences, even to major seconds, he now allows it only for thirds. The interval is to be filled in with a diatonic tone in the form of an eighth note, while a preceding half note becomes a dotted quarter. This he specifies in The Singing-

Master's Assistant (p. 103), though in The Continental Harmony he merely says that the metrical accents should not be obscured. For this reason, too, he fears that where the notes that constitute the third, take up only a "half beat" (or, we may add, less than that), they, along with the grace, would sound like a triplet. In such cases and where the "mark of distinction" occurs, the notes should be left unornamented and made to sound "distinct and emphatic." Women normally sang only the treble. The rest of the setting was for male voices, including the counter (the modern alto). 10 How many singers were assigned to each part Billings does not say, though in The Singing-Master's Assistant (pp. 14 and 15) he mentions a proportion of "three or four deep voices suitable for the Bass to one for 10

the upper parts. . . ." Solo passages in anthems (at least according to The New-England Psalm-Singer, p. 18) are to be sung by two or three voices, and to sound "as Soft as an Echo. . . ." It seems that the enthusiastic lay-member of New England singing-schools did not hesitate to choose any part that pleased him; he simply transferred it to a convenient register. Thus, the tenor and counter were occasionally sung an octave higher and the treble an octave lower. 11 Systematizing these possibilities in his own way, Billings suggests that the female treble double the tenor and the male tenor double the treble, i.e., an octave higher and lower respectively (pp. 15—16). This is preferably done simultaneously; otherwise, the second combination should be avoided. 11 The New-England Psalm-Singer, p. 2 1 : "Treble . . . adapted to Feminine Voices in either Sex. . . ." (repeated in The Singing-Master's Assistant, p. 27); but Billings dislikes the male falsetto: "a Man cannot sing a proper Treble without counterfeiting a Woman's Voice, which is very unnatural, and in the Ears of most Judges very Disagreeable. . (The New-England Psalm-Singer, chap. ii). A report in the magazine The Euterpiad of Aug. 3, 1822 (quoted in Hamilton C. MacDougall, Early New England Psalmody [Brattlcboro, Vt., 1940], p. 1 1 7 ) , in mentioning anachronistic ways of singing in Massachusetts, refers to a female voice which doubles the counter in a high register (i.e., an octave higher).

INTRODUCTION

The settings sound still fuller when Billings introduces "chusing notes" by dividing a voice part into two (p. 11). Either one may be sung but when both are heard "they add.. . to the variety." Appearing in the treble, the counter, and the bass (here usually at a distance of an octave, thus echoing the baroque effect of frequently doubled basses in The New-England Psalm-Singer), they often broaden a V-I cadence or lend sonority to a powerful image in the text. In passages for less than four voices or in "solos," it seems that their ad libitum character is no longer unrestricted. Early American psalm-tunes were always notated with double bars marking the end of each line of the text. This indicated a brief rest; it also gave the deacon or clerk time for "lining-out," i.e., for reciting the next line so that it could be sung by the congregation. The practice was imported from late sixteenth-century England into the colonies and persisted into the eighteenth century. Billings inserts double bars only into his earliest publication, stating, in 1778,12 that they are "but little esteemed among us." In The Continental Harmony (pp. 17-18) we learn that "lining12

out" still existed in some New England churches. Billings rejects it emphatically as being "destructive to harmony" and to "the sense of the psalm." Whether or not instrumental accompaniment was used cannot be decided categorically. It no doubt existed but it was entirely optional.13 In The New-England Psalm-Singer (chap, ix) Billings says: "Let all Parts close in a proper Key, and a full Organ. . ."; and in The Continental Harmony (p. 14) he mentions an occasion when vocal pitch has to "conform to an instrument. . . ." However, his reference to the use of the "universally known" pitch-pipe (pp. 25 and 20) suggests an a cappella rendition. This seems to be confirmed, particularly for the present work, by Billings' enthusiasm about vocal music, whereas he considers instrumental music "but sound, and sound without sense",14 and 13 There are specific references to instruments in Billings' music only in two anthems. In "O Thou To Whom All Creatures Bow" in The Continental Harmony, the first of two textless passages is marked "Sym. to introduce Β flat"; for this work, destined for ordination and therefore to be performed in church only, an organ was no doubt used. The other work which includes "symphonies" is "Peace." Here the term is defined as "sounds without words intended for Instruments," but in The Singing-Master's Assistant, p. 27, it is "an air, which is played, or sang [sic] without words, before the song begins, and sometimes such airs are in the middle of a peice [sic], and at the end." " P . 15. This thought is even more forcibly expressed in an article "On Music" in The American Magazine (June 1788).

INTRODUCTION especially by his reference to the mutual doubling of treble and tenor as "sweet and ravishing, and . . . vastly preferable to any instrument whatever, framed by human invention" (p. 15). For purposes of performance it may be useful to mention the following technical points: sections in the music that are to be repeated are enclosed by :S: ; repetition of words is often indicated by :| :; a tie sometimes combines as many as three or four notes into one; the G clef of the tenor is to be read an octave lower; "b key" on page 86 (meaning "flat key") stands in the place of natural signs and thus changes E major to E minor; "Sharp key" on page 191 stands in the place of natural signs and changes G minor to G major. Hardly any of Billings' ideas (or terminology) are novel. They are typical of their time. Nor can this be expected to be otherwise, since the purpose of the introduction was chiefly to set forth commonly recognized data. Nonetheless, all such introductions in American tune-books are of an extraordinary similarity in their wording, since they freely quote from each other, usually without acknowledgment (this was the age of plagiarism on both sides of the

XV

Atlantic), and occasionally from Tans'ur. It must not be assumed that Billings merely repeated what others said, for we know that he had read and given thought to contemporary theory and its application as published by the American Thomas Walter, and by Englishmen like Tans'ur,15 John Arnold, Aaron Williams, and Joseph Stephenson. Already in The Singing-Master's Assistant he had not contented himself with strait-laced textbook material but had lightened it with more fanciful writing. In The Continental Harmony he did the same by casting the greater part of his introduction into the form of a lively dialogue between master and scholar, a unique occurrence in American tune-books. Though it was probably suggested by A New Musical Grammar (first edition published in London in 1746) by William Tans'ur and The Universal Psalmodist (also published in London, first edition 1763) by Aaron Williams, it bears the unmistakable imprint of Billings' " Billings (p. 30) erroneously speaks of Walker. His reference without doubt was to Walter's The Grounds and Rules of Musici, p. 24: "A Fourth is by some accounted a Chord, by others a Discord; but I am inclined to think the former." The statement on p. 16, line 16, refers to Tans'ur's The Royal Melody Compleat, chap, ii; lines 9 and 15, p. 17, are almost literal quotations from the same chapter.

INTRODUCTION

personality. In turn he appears as the self-assured teacher and critic, eager to inform, and informing to the point of loquaciousness. He is the fervent and, in his own way, philosophizing preacher, and the chatty and clownish entertainer.16 At his pleasure he resorts to any literary device at hand: solemn prose, jingling poetry, anecdotes, the homely phrase, and the contemporary catchword (in the form of military images). And he indulges in footnotes of every size and description, calling them "a glorious privilege, for which bad memories and dull authors cannot be too thankful" (p. 17). They also appear in the musical section of the book, several times to rectify what could have been decided before publication.17 Thus the book (Billings admits to 16 The last line in " A n Ejaculation of Philo F ü g i n g , " p. 28, had better be explained to the modern reader. Billings merely meant to say that the "hostilities" of rivaling voices will be resolved by an authentic cadence (see, for example, the two last chords in measures 4 and 5 , score 1 , p. 104, to which all of Billings' intervals apply, though he forgot to consider the lowest tone in the first chord). 17 P. 42: the suggested transposition to a key a minor second lower is necessary, because the upper limit of the tenor range is exceeded. P. 1 1 7 : the transposition "one note lower" (probably a major second) is necessary because the male counter rides too often on the C above middle C. T h e footnote on p. 48 refers to score 1 , m. 4, which includes too many notes and faulty declamation of the words (the latter is common at this time); the passage can be rectified by shifting the third barline in this score one beat (the time of one half note) to the right.

"broken hints and imperfect ideas" in his introduction, p. 33), has a dashing informality about it which distinguishes it from kindred volumes of its time. The three types of music that Billings presents in The Continental Harmony are in form basically identical with those of contemporary tune-books. In the psalm-tunes the air is always carried by the tenor. Though marked by the composer's characteristic melodic style, it is traditional in its sparse use of melismas and its regard for the specific meter of its text,18 thus also stressing the end of each or every other line. The four voices of the setting are rhythmically synchronized, now strictly, now slightly differentiated. Occasional rests within the tenor, which is ordinarily continuous, and florid passages as well as the appearance of contrasting "moods" within the same piece point to the influence of the anthem. The juging tune, also related to the anthem, is based, like the previous type, on versified psalm-texts. It greatly appealed to Billings (p. 28) ; indeed, stimulated by English music, he was the first American composer to cultivate it.18 It consists of two sections in " C h i e f l y Common Meter which consists of alternating 8- and 6-syllable lines. L o wens. " T h e American Füging T u n e , " p. 44.

INTRODUCTION the "Allegro mood": the first in the style of the ordinary psalm-tune; the second, after a hasty opening with successive entries, maintaining a polyphonic or at least a semipolyphonic texture. The brief motive involved in the initial imitation always appears first in the bass, whence it climbs upwards, so to speak, frequently in the strict order of the voices. As soon as the tenor has entered, it tries to regain its former dominant position, but has to suffer the rivalry of its companion voices. Most fuging tunes in the present volume differ from those popular in the eighties and nineties in various ways: for example, their second section, instead of spurting towards the end in a strong but mechanical motion, spreads itself into a more extensive and somewhat more elaborate setting, involving additional imitations; the initial motive in this section is not restricted to the stereotyped ascending fourth, whose last tone is accented and then several times repeated; they are not always in duple meter or in one meter only. Billings' anthems are long compositions, divided into sections that reinforce their contrast with changes in meter, tempo, and texture; several conclude with a "Hallelujah." Their four voices often split up into smaller groups, even solos. A s a rule no one voice

xvii

predominates but sometimes the style of psalm-tune settings is approached by way of a continuous, self-contained tenor. The texts are generally drawn from psalms of the King James version of the Bible and at times from the Book of Common Prayer,20 but Billings is fond of combining passages from scattered parts of the Bible, modifying them and intermingling them, contrary to the prose character of the genre, with rhymed and metrical lines,21 some of his own make. There is certainly nothing esoteric about his rewriting or his interpolations (see p. 80: "Stay me with flagons, comfort me with apples for I am sick of love"). Poetry serves him not only for literary contrast but to add accents to his music with repeated syllables, as in this example (p. 40): "join creation, preservation, and redemption join in one; no exemption, nor dissention, one invention, and intention etc." 22 Daniel, The Anthem in New England, p. 188. On p. 37 a four-line quotation from the seventeenth-century poet Earl of Roscommon is acknowledged ( " Y e dragons, whose contagious Breath . . . " in A Paraphrase on the CXLVIlIth Psalm). 22 On pp. 97 and 98 he translates the typical opening of a fuging passage into literary terms. Bass: "Let the leading bass inspire etc."; Tenor: "Let the tenor catch the fire etc."; Counter: "Let the counter still be high'r etc."; Treble: "Let the treble join the choir etc." 20

INTRODUCTION

What made Billings' music so attractive to his contemporaries was chiefly its melodic idiom. There is freshness, a naive vigor, about it; and there is above all an admirable appropriateness to the needs of a laymen's choir that considered music a pastime and was fond of the physical exertion in performing it. Often shaped like a secular tune (except, of course, for basses in non-polyphonic settings), each voice part was easy to like and to cling to, and its spirited motion, especially in fuging pieces and anthems, kept everybody meaningfully busy. Moreover, the melodic style had popular appeal since it included familiar elements, while preserving a measure of uniqueness. Thus we hear reminiscences of Irish jigs, English and Scotch folk song, English tunes of fashion, eighteenth-century dance patterns, 23 and even elements of eighteenth-century art music. The 6/4 and 6/8 "moods," which Billings calls "very beautiful movements" (p. 8), inspired him to write cheerful and festive tunes — perhaps his best — that resemble English carols. Among the aspects of Billings' music that are most inSee J. Murray Barbour, The Church Music of William Lansing, Mich., i960), chapter on "Melody."

triguing to the historian are its archaisms, which date back to the Renaissance or rather to the Renaissance heritage of English seventeenth-century music. In addition to the major scale, our author makes use both of the minor scale and the Aeolian mode within the same composition. Even in authentic cadences the seventh tone is by no means always raised, although, as we know, he favored it theoretically. The major scale is qualified by non-diatonic cadential progressions of voices that descend and then ascend a minor second (for example, G-F sharp-G) — actually a typical feature of sixteenth-century music. In consequence we find F sharp in C major, C sharp in G major, Β natural in F major, A sharp in E major, unsupported by harmonic modulation. Interesting clashes (reminiscent of Purcell) occur when the natural and the sharpened version of a tone appear in two voices simultaneously (e.g., F natural against F sharp); this is resolved (apparently following the composer's "set of rules which I have carved out for myself . . . ," p. 31), by the contrary motion of voices to adjacent tones (F natural to E and F sharp to G). 24 Other archaic elements in his harmony are chords com24

For example, p. 81, score I, m. 3; p. 125, score 2, m. 1 1 .

INTRODUCTION prising only the fifth and the octave (in a variety of spacings). Indeed, he calls the fifth "by far the sweetest" interval and "luscious and fulsome" (p. 31). Time and again he uses parallel fifths and octaves. Fully aware of this highly untraditional procedure (p. 31), he relishes it nevertheless and no doubt was happy to set a precedent for other New England composers. Moreover, in complete disregard of all his fine distinctions between intervals, he places dissonances wherever it pleases him, especially at the end of a measure, as if he no longer cared what happened here. They are striking, no matter on what beat they appear, partly because they are unexpected within a predominantly triadic idiom, partly because they are rarely ever the same. Caused by his dogged insistence on the continuity of each line, they are less keenly felt by his singers than by his listeners. Billings has also the distinction, it seems, of being the first composer to end a composition,25 cast in a major or minor tonality, with a key that strongly " S e e the anthem "O God Thou Hast Been Displeased," called by Billings "Variety, without Method" to justify his attempts at modulation. It begins in G minor and ends in F major.

differs from the one of its opening. Anticipating Charles Ives, another Yankee musician, he simply meant to have his way. "When fancy gets upon the wing," he says, in full and innocent trust in himself, "she seems to despise all form, and scorns to be confined or limited by any formal prescriptions whatsoever . . ." (p. 31). When the first and only edition26 of The Continental Harmony appeared, interest in its type of music was waning. About a decade later a compiler of sacred music27 was proud to have chosen "none of those wild fugues, and rapid and confused movements, which have so long been the disgrace of congregational psalmody. . . ." We have no reason to share his sentiments.28 HANS NATHAN M

A variant copy (possibly one among others) owned by the Library of Congress must be from the earliest printing, since it shows errors corrected in other copies. These are: p. 198 instead of p. 168; p. 183, score 2, m. 5; the first two notes of the treble are D-C instead of C-D; also "Connection" is not included. "Elias Mann, The Massachusetts Collection of Sacred Harmony (Boston, 1807), preface. a Grateful acknowledgment for aid in the preparation of this essay is made to Professor Leo Katz (calculation of pendulum speeds) and Irving Lowens of the Library of Congress.

Therefore you muft never think yourfelf 100 wife * to be taught, nor too old to learn j but be always ready to receive inftru6tion from any one ; and 1 hope you will be able to fay with the Pfalmiß, "J have more underßanding than all my teachers."
