Blow, John: Venus and Adonis. Opera
Ref: PC2
Edited by Bruce Wood
John Blow's pastoral opera
Venus and Adonis
, the second volume of the Purcell Society Edition Companion Series, presents another key work from the decade of the 1680s, which was an important focus of transition between the pre-Restoration masque and the genres of opera and semi-opera. Long recognised as influential far beyond its modest scope, this delightful work is newly edited by the distinguished 17th-century scholar Bruce Wood, with the original and the revised version of the work printed in parallel text on facing pages - the first time an opera has ever been presented in this way. Full performing material for the opera, including single-version scores, is in preparation.

Butterworth, George: Orchestral Works (XCII)
Ref: MB92
Edited by Peter Ward Jones
In his brief career George Butterworth (18851916) composed only a small quantity of orchestral works, but what he wrote has never subsequently been absent from the repertoire. The two English Idylls, the
Rhapsody 'A Shropshire Lad'
and the idyll
The Banks of Green Willow
are, with the music of his friend Ralph Vaughan Williams and of Gustav Holst, among the most exquisite statements of the English folk-song idiom. This complete and authoritative collection includes an earlier version of
The Banks of Green Willow
, and a fragment of an
Orchestral Fantasia
. Work in progress in 1914 when Butterworth enlisted to serve in the Great War, it suggests the composer setting out in a bolder direction, perhaps inspired by the example of Vaughan Williams's
A London Symphony
.
Performing material is in preparation.

Croft: Canticles and Anthems with Orchestra (XCI)
Ref: MB91
Edited by Donald Burrows
William Croft's career as the leading native-born composer of English church music was established in the period between the death of Purcell and the arrival of Handel in London. His education took place among musicians from Purcell's circle, and his style was modified by the influence of Handel's 'Utrecht' Te Deum and Jubilate of 1713. All the music in this volume was composed for various royal church services that took place between 1709 and 1720, in the Chapel Royal at St James's Palace and in St Paul's Cathedral. The contents include the
Te Deum and Jubilate Deo
, sung at the coronation of George I, and the anthems
The Lord is a sun and a shield
,
O give thanks unto the Lord, and call upon his name
,
O give thanks unto the Lord, for he is gracious
, and
Rejoice in the Lord, O ye righteous
.

Draghi: From Harmony from Heav'nly Harmony (A Song for St Cecilia's Day, 1687).
Ref: PC3
Edited by Bryan White
Never previously published, though surviving in no fewer than five manuscript copies, Draghis
A Song for St Cecilia's Day
of 1687 impressed his contemporaries, and merits admiration from modern audiences for its intrinsic musical qualities and as a crucial reference point for English music of the period. It is by far the largest of Draghis surviving works; its rich Italianate scoring includes a pair of trumpets (their first known appearance in an English choral work), and features concerto-like contrasts between voices and instruments. Greatly expanding on its models of court and Cecilian ode, From Harmony testifies both to Draghis reputation amongst his English contemporaries, and to his influence in style, form and instrumentation on the composer of
Hail! bright Cecilia
and
The Yorkshire Feast Song
(included in the new PE1) in particular.

Fayrfax, Robert: Regali, Albanus and Sponsus amat sponsam
Ref: EC53
Edited by Roger Bray
This volume brings to a conclusion a series devoted to Masses and associated pieces composed by Robert Fayrfax, also featured in EECM volumes 43 and 45. It includes Fayrfaxs well-known Masses
Regali
and Albanus, as well as a reconstruction of his fragmentary, possibly nuptial, Mass
Sponsus amat sponsam.
Although some of the manuscript sources were copied many years later, these works date collectively from the years immediately preceding and following the turn of the sixteenth century, and as the editor demonstrates in his introduction, they show the composers mastery of largescale proportional planning.

Grabu, Louis: Albion and Albanius. Opera
Ref: PC1
Edited Bryan White
Albion and Albanius
is among the first operas in English, written to a libretto by John Dryden, and produced at the Dorset Garden Theatre, London, on 3 June 1685. Composed by the erstwhile Master of the King's Musick to Charles II, the score is of particular interest as representing the French style of Lully, unusual in English music at the time, and is in striking contrast to the score for Dryden's sequel to the work,
King Arthur
, with music by Purcell.

Purcell, Henry: Sacred Music, Part V: Continuo Anthems II
Ref: PE29
Edited by Robert Thompson
This volume continues the reordering of the Society's edition of Purcell's anthems, under which all the large-scale verse anthems with strings will be found in Volumes 13 (in preparation) and 14 and 17 (already published); all the verse anthems with organ in Volumes 28 (in preparation) and 29; and the
stile antico
anthems and the Latin motets in Volume 32 (in preparation). All eleven pieces in the present volume were probably composed for the Chapel Royal, and all appear to belong to Purcell's later years. Four of them are explicitly dated the earliest 1687 in an authoritative source which was not available to previous editors of the music: a score-book in the hand of the celebrated bass singer John Gostling, whose cavernous low register Purcell exploited for its dramatic effect in some of his finest compositions for the Chapel.

Purcell, Henry: Dramatic Music III
Ref: PE21
Edited Margaret Laurie
Vocal and Instrumental Music for the Stage, Part III
Purcell began writing for the stage in 1680. His work for the two London theatre companies (which merged in 1682, but which in 1695 split once more into two competing factions) constituted an increasingly important aspect of his creative activities in the late 1680s, and became exceptionally fruitful in the last six years of his life, encompassing not merely his four great dramatic operas but also a prodigious quantity of music for more modest stage pieces.
The productions for which the music is included in this volume are: Oedipus (1692), Oroonoko (1695), Pausanias (1696), Regulus (1692), Rule a wife and have a wife (1693), Sir Anthony Love (1690), Sir Barnaby Whigg (1681), Sophonisba (?1685), The Old Batchelour (1693), The Richmond Heiress (1693), The Rival Sisters (1695), The Spanish Fryar (1695), The Tempest (1695), The Virtuous Wife (1695), The Wives Excuse (1691), Theodosius (1680), and Tyrannick Love (1694).
The original Purcell Society edition of this volume, edited by Alan Gray and published in 1917, has long been out of print. This comprehensive new edition the only one available of most of the music is based on a fresh examination of all the surviving materials, including newly discovered manuscript sources, carried out by one of the greatest living authorities on Purcells dramatic music.

Purcell, Henry: The Fairy Queen
Ref: PE12
Edited Bruce Wood and Andrew Pinnock
Presented in a highly praised new production by Glyndebourne Opera in 2009, this edition of Purcell's third semi-opera,
The Fairy Queen
, offers a new and definitive version of words and music prepared by two leading scholars in the field. The playtext, anonymously adapted from Shakespeare's
A Midsummer Night's Dream
, is printed in full, and the role of the various sources, and the relationship of the manuscript theatre score to the printed word-books of 1692 and 1693, are thoroughly reappraised. The other sources include music manuscripts which have not previously been examined, and which prove to have a significant bearing on the musical text. Full account is taken of the varied instrumental resources and conventions accessible to the Restoration composer, reflected in the multi-purpose performing material for the edition which is available for rental (HL390).

Ravenscroft: Rounds, Canons and Songs from Printed Sources (XCIII)
Ref: MB93
Edited by John Morehen and David Mateer
This is the first complete edition of the rounds, canons and songs from Ravenscroft's four principal publications:
Pammelia
,
Deuteromelia
,
Melismata
and
A Briefe Discourse
. Thomas Ravenscroft (c.1582c.1635) was a collector, editor and theorist as well as a composer, whose work was esteemed in his own lifetime and is valued today for its insights into the popular music of the period. Rounds and canons in this collection are all presented in resolved form, and the variety of subjects includes drinking songs, hunting songs and four songs in West Country dialect, as well as Latin-texted material. It is hoped that performers may be inspired to breathe new life into a repertoire that sheds fascinating light on a hitherto neglected area of Elizabethan music-making.

Sheppard, John: Hymns, Psalms, Antiphons and other Latin Polyphony
Ref: EC54
Edited by Magnus Williamson
This is an important addition to the pair of consecutive EECM volumes of John Sheppard's Latin compositions for the Use of Salisbury published in the 1970s. Although he had evidently mastered the forms of Mass and votive antiphon, the composer is at his most characteristic in his settings of the plainsong melodies which form the bedrock of the Sarum liturgy. These account for most of the contents of this volume, together with free-composed settings of Biblical texts and a small corpus of devotional polphony, most of it fragmentary. In general, textural richness is cultivated in preference to long arcs of melisma, and perfect time is favoured over imperfect, creating a directness of expression that seems to typify mid-Tudor polyphony. The format of this volume follows EECM's house style for post-Reformation composers.

Yonge: Musica Transalpina (1588)
Ref: EM42
Edited by David Greer
This is the first ever complete published edition of a major madrigal collection that is essential to our understanding of the fruitful interaction of Renaissance Italian and English music.
In four, five and six voices, the 57 pieces of
Musica Transalpina
include 51 madrigals by Marenzio, Palestrina and others, the two parts of Byrd's 'La virginella', and four French chansons. Uniquely, the anthology also features singing translations of the original poems from the Italian into the vernacular, for which it was widely admired and circulated. As a printed source from which composers could learn the madrigal style and aesthetic, it was hugely influential in inspiring the 'golden age' of Tudor and Jacobean vocal music.
An important addition to
The English Madrigalists
series,
Musica Transalpina
of 1588 is not only of great scholarly interest but is also an outstanding addition to the repertoire that will delight contemporary singers no less than it enthralled those Elizabethans who first responded with such enthusiasm to its fine music and accessible 'Englished' texts.
