Sacred Music, comprising Thirty Six Select Hymns (Thomas Jarman)
General information
Publication
Thomas Jarman's second book is titled Sacred Music, comprising Thirty Six Select Hymns, adapted for Public Worship, together with Six Anthems or Set Pieces: there are extant copies of the work both with and without the wording 'Second Book' on the title page, and which are otherwise identical.
The book was published in London, being 'Printed and Sold by JAMES PECK, No 47. Lombard Street.' It was priced at 5s, and the title page claims that it was entered at Stationers' Hall. The Hymn Tune Index does not record any identified entry at Stationers' Hall, but notes that the book was reviewed in the Monthly Magazine on 1 September 1812.
Publication date and place: 1812 by James Peck in London.
The index page of the book advertises 'Lately reprinted, Mr Jarman's first sett in folio, price Five Shillings'.
Description of contents
The collection consists of 36 strophic hymn or metrical psalm tunes, followed by 6 set-pieces (through-composed settings of metrical texts). The 35th tune, 'Warwick', is followed by a concluding hallelujah in the same key, which is not separately itemised in the description of the book's contents on the title page, but which 'may be sung after any suitable Hymn & Tune'.
The music is laid out in full score with the soprano air next to the bass. The treble clef is used for soprano, alto, and tenor parts, with both the alto and tenor parts being notated an octave above sounding pitch. The vocal bass part is figured: the title page describes it as 'figured for the Piano Forte', possibly implying an expectation that keyboard accompaniment would be more likely in domestic use or for rehearsal than in public worship.
