- Title:
- Frederick Delius (Beecham Accession): A Mass of Life, Vol. 2 (autograph full score)
- Scope & Content:
-
The second of two volumes comprising the final full score (autograph, ink and ink over pencil). The first volume is MS Mus. 1745/2/13/7.
Threlfall, II/4.
- On the fly-leaf: '34 / BG / Mass of Life / Teil II' (pencil), and '88902' (blue crayon).
- pp. [101]-234, with a blank un-numbered page following. A blank page follows p. 127, and the page facing (bearing the movement title 'III') is un-numbered. Also, a blank page follows p. 169.
- Whereas the paper used for the first volume is uniform, the paper used for this volume shows some variation (full details are given by Threlfall).
- Marbled endpapers.
- Signed and dated by Delius on p. 234: 'Frederick Delius / Grez sur Loing / Seine & Marne / Autumn / 1905'.
- [Prelude], p. [101]. 'Andante', with the heading 'Part II'.
- [Movement] I (p. 103). At the head of the page (in Jelka Delius's hand, pencil): 'Eine Messe des Lebens II Teil / Frederick Delius'.
- [Movement] II (p. 119).
- [Movement] III (p. 128).
- [Movement] IV (p. 170).
- [Movement] V (p. 184).
- [Movement] VI (p. 194).
- Bold XX in pencil serve to draw attention to retouchings in the scoring (e.g. on pp. 122, 124, 125, 129, 130, 136). However, these retouchings do not appear in either printed score or parts, suggesting that they postdate publication (1907, Verlag Harmonie, Berlin).
- This manuscript in two volumes was used as the publisher's Stichvorlage. Numbers appearing at the foot of most pages throughout the manuscript (in pencil and underlined in blue crayon, e.g. '94' on p. 107), are the plate numbers.
