17095 | Jonathan Goodliffe | | 2008-06-06 | 2008-06-06 | The original score from which this edition is derived (published by William Horsley after the composer's death) uses a text of Lewis' poem which slightly departs from the original at a number of points. The reasons for this seem to have been non-musical. Examples include "and dressed him" for "she formed him" in bar 22 and "full oft" for "three times" in bar 175. In bar 135 "for God’s sake" was changed to "for heav'n's sake", which may have been more "respectable" in the 1820s. The text of Lewis' original has been restored in this edition. A change in tempo seems to be intended at bar 142 – this edition suggests a return to the first time. | | | | 33243 | The Water King (John Wall Callcott) | The Water King | John Wall Callcott | | 2023-09-16 07:43:58 |
