Handel, George Frederic. (1685-1759). The Songs in the Ode wrote by Mr. Dryden for St. Cecilia's Day. [Unrecorded Variant]. London: I. Walsh. 1739 plates, ca. 1760. . First edition, second issue. Upright folio, short score. Title, 23 pp. Engraved, with a particularly fresh impression of Collins's decorative titlepage. A very fine copy, bound in quarter cloth with marbled boards. HWV 49; Smith no. 2 (variant, see below), p. 131; RISM H1038; BUC 437; CPM 26, p. 107.
This is apparently an unrecorded variant of Smith no. 2: the note relating to the instrumental parts is printed above the first song only. The fourth song is no. 353, not "393."
First performed with Alexander's Feast and other music by Handel and Lincoln's Inn Fields Theatre on November 22, 1739. The singers named in the present score are Francesina (Elisabetta Duparc) and John Beard, who both sang in the premiere and created several other Handel roles. The complete score was first published posthumously in 1771 by William Randall, Walsh's successor.
