15th century Canons, by Sydrach Rahel.
CANONS for 4 voices to the first lines of the Psalms (Vulgate version), by Sydrach Rahel, with a dedication, in French, to James I, from which it appears that they are intended to be accompanied by the lute (? in unison). At the end are canons on the 'Oratio Dominica' (à 5), and on the words 'Viuat Jacobus primus, rex Angliae, in eternum' (two settings, à 2). See Cat. of Music, i, p. 115.
Temp. James I. The MS. was formerly numbered Add. 5341, but was restored to the Royal collection by Sir F. Madden in 1852.
- Scope & Content:
- The first lines of the Psalms in the Latin Vulgate version, set as Canons (in 4 parts, unless the contrary is stated) by Sydrach Rahel. From the dedication to James I, in French, it appears that they are intended to be accompanied by the lute, i.e. in unison with the voices. Included also are the ‘Oratio Dominica,’ for 5 voices (f. 27b), and ‘Viuat Jacobus primus,’ apparently two settings for 2 voices (f. 28). The first lines of all the Canons are given in the Index to the present Catalogue.
