General information

Publication

Thomas Clark's A Sett of Psalm and Hymn Tunes was published in 1805: the book was entered at Stationers' Hall by the composer on 28 January 1805. It was subsequently reissued: the Hymn Tune Index an edition by Whitaker & Co. around 1820.

Description of contents

A Sett of Psalm and Hymn Tunes contains 25 metrical psalm or hymn tunes (setting texts by authors including Isaac Watts and Charles Wesley), through-composed settings of 'When I can read my title clear' and 'I will extol thee, Lord, on high' (both texts by Watts), and an anthem.

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.
