Im letzten [RISM-Nachrichtenbeitrag](/library_collections/2024/09/26/music-from-english-local-archives-in-rism.html){:blank} wurde das Projekt [Music, Heritage, Place: Unlocking the Musical Collections of England's County Record Offices](https://www.royalholloway.ac.uk/research-and-teaching/departments-and-schools/music/research/research-projects-and-centres/music-heritage-place/){:blank} unter der Leitung von [Royal Holloway, University of London](http://www.rhul.ac.uk/music){:blank} vorgestellt. In diesem Artikel werden einige der Quellen hervorgehoben, die im Rahmen des Projekts neu entdeckt oder katalogisiert wurden, um die Bandbreite des musikalischen Erbes in diesen lokalen Archiven aufzuzeigen. | ||

Das Derbyshire Record Office ([GB-MTdro](https://rism.online/institutions/51007743){:blank}) besitzt einen einzigartigen Quellenkomplex zu Joseph Haydns Derbyshire Marches für Militärkapelle, Hob. VIII:1-2, der zwar den Herausgebern der _Johann Haydn Werke_ bekannt war, durch die RISM-Katalogisierung jedoch neu erschlossen werden konnte. Die beiden Haydn-Märsche wurden 1794/5 von Sir Henry Harpur (1763-1819), 7. Baronet of Calke Abbey, für das von ihm in Derbyshire aufgestellte Kavallerieregiment in Auftrag gegeben. Die Manuskripte enthalten Haydns autographe Partitur des Marsches in C-Dur Hob. VIII:2 ([RISM Catalog](https://opac.rism.info/search?id=1001307844&View=rism){:blank} \| [RISM Online](https://rism.online/sources/1001307844){:blank}) sowie Quellen aus der Hand von Haydns Kopisten Johann Elssler mit Korrekturen des Komponisten, darunter eine Partitur des Marsches in Es-Dur Hob. VIII:1 ([RISM Catalog](https://opac.rism.info/search?id=1001308157&View=rism){:blank} \| [RISM Online](https://rism.online/sources/1001308157){:blank}), unvollständige Stimmensätze für beide Märsche ([RISM Catalog](https://opac.rism.info/search?id=1001308398&View=rism){:blank} \| [RISM Online](https://rism.online/sources/1001308398){:blank}) und Klavierbearbeitungen von beiden Märschen ([RISM Catalog](https://opac.rism.info/search?id=1001308294&View=rism){:blank} \| [RISM Online](https://rism.online/sources/1001308294){:blank}). Der Quellenkomplex enthält außerdem fünf Exemplare der bei Harpur erschienenen Druckausgabe ([RISM Catalog](https://opac.rism.info/search?id=990028178&View=rism){:blank} \| [RISM Online](https://rism.online/sources/990028178){:blank}). Autographe der Märsche in Es-Dur und C-Dur befinden sich in der Ungarischen Nationalbibliothek ([RISM Catalog](https://opac.rism.info/search?id=530001642&View=rism){:blank} \| [RISM Online](https://rism.online/sources/530001642){:blank}) bzw. Eisenstadt, aber die Quellen aus Derbyshire zeigen Haydns Überarbeitungen dieser Kompositionen und wie er Elsslers Abschriften sorgfältig korrigierte. | ||

Das Derbyshire Record Office besitzt auch Briefe der Familie Harpur, die sich auf den Auftrag, die Komposition und die Rezeption von Haydns Derbyshire Marches beziehen, sowie einen handschriftlichen Katalog von Henry Harpurs privater Musikbibliothek, zu der diese Quellen gehörten. Im Jahr 1994 wurden die Haydn-Manuskripte von der britischen Regierung aus dem Nachlass der Familie Harpur-Crewe erworben; das Eigentum an diesen Quellen wurde dem National Trust übertragen, der sie dem Derbyshire Record Office übergab. Dies ist ein Beispiel dafür, wie lokale Archive in England Quellen von hochrangigen Komponisten enthalten, die das Wissen aus den Manuskripten der großen Forschungsbibliotheken ergänzen und bereichern. | ||

Das Musikleben im ländlichen England stand in engem Kontakt mit den neuesten Trends in London. Im 18. Jahrhundert verbrachten die „Personen von Rang“ die gesellschaftliche Saison in London und den Rest des Jahres in ihren Landhäusern. Musikalische Quellen spiegeln diese Bewegung zwischen London und dem Land oft wider. Das Musikbuch von Mary Orlebar (1730-1821) aus den Bedfordshire Archives ([RISM Catalog](https://opac.rism.info/search?id=1001284358&View=rism){:blank} \| [RISM Online](https://rism.online/sources/1001284358){:blank}), wurde um 1745 von dem Londoner Organisten [Philip Hart](https://rism.online/people/30006359){:blank} kopiert. In den Haushaltsbüchern der Familie Orlebar wird ihr Leben zwischen London und Bedfordshire aufgezeichnet, einschließlich Marys Unterricht bei Hart. Ihr Notenbuch, das in Harts charakteristischer blumiger Handschrift mit vielen Verzierungen und Fingersätzen kopiert wurde, enthält Bearbeitungen von Konzerten von Albinoni, Corelli und Vivaldi sowie eine Ouvertüre, die 1730 in einem Pasticcio von Händel verwendet wurde. Es gibt auch Lieder, die mit den Londoner Vergnügungsgärten in Verbindung stehen. Orlebars Buch zeigt das Repertoire, das einem 15-jährigen Mädchen zur Verfügung stand, das in den 1740er Jahren Cembalo lernte, einschließlich konzertanter Arrangements, die ein hohes Maß an technischem Können erforderten. | ||

Viele Musikhandschriften in lokalen Archiven stammen aus Pfarrkirchensammlungen. Das Hymnenbuch von Richard Poole (1792) wurde in der Pfarrei von Withington, Gloucestershire, kopiert und ist in der Pfarrkirchensammlung von Kingsclere, Hampshire, erhalten ([RISM Catalog](https://opac.rism.info/search?id=1001277835&View=rism){:blank} \| [RISM Online](https://rism.online/sources/1001277835){:blank}). Die elegante Kalligraphie und der kunstvolle Titel (_Choice Collection of Anthems..._) deuten darauf hin, dass Poole dieses Manuskript für eine gedruckte Veröffentlichung vorgesehen hatte. Es enthält 149 Hymnen von Komponisten aus London wie Henry Purcell, John Blow und William Boyce sowie von Komponisten aus der Region wie William Knapp, Joseph Key und Capel Bond. Sie enthält auch Werke von Poole selbst sowie die Gemeinschaftskomposition _O sing unto the Lord a new song_ ([RISM Catalog](https://opac.rism.info/search?id=1001279224&View=rism){:blank} \| [RISM Online](https://rism.online/sources/1001279224){:blank}) „by several authors of the Musical Society...composed for the general thanksgiving for the recovery of His present majesty“ [König Georg III], mit Teilen, die sechs (vermutlich Amateur-)Komponisten zugeschrieben werden. Purcells Hymnen würden normalerweise zum Repertoire von Kathedralchören gehören, aber Poole passte sie für Gemeindesänger an, indem er die Stimmen in den von Amateurmusikern bevorzugten G-Schlüssel setzte und nicht in den C-Schlüssel, der normalerweise in Purcells Quellen zu finden ist. Weitere Forschungen könnten zeigen, wie Poole in seinem Dorf in Gloucestershire an Kopien des Repertoires der Kathedralchöre gelangte. | ||

Die Erkenntnisse über diese Quellen sind das Ergebnis der Arbeit unseres Forschungsteams, dem Andrew Frampton, Caro Lesemann-Elliott und Stephanie Carter sowie studentische Hilfskräfte wie Lizzy Buckle und Sophie Currie angehören. Diese Arbeit zeigt einmal mehr, wie wertvoll die RISM-Datenbank ist, wenn es darum geht, Verbindungen zwischen kontinentaleuropäischen Komponisten und musikalischen Quellen in englischen Archiven aufzuzeigen. Wir freuen uns darauf, in den nächsten zwei Jahren weitere Entdeckungen mit der RISM-Gemeinschaft zu teilen. | ||

The previous [RISM news item](/library_collections/2024/09/26/music-from-english-local-archives-in-rism.html){:blank} introduced the project [Music, Heritage, Place: Unlocking the Musical Collections of England’s County Record Offices](https://www.royalholloway.ac.uk/research-and-teaching/departments-and-schools/music/research/research-projects-and-centres/music-heritage-place/){:blank}, led by [Royal Holloway, University of London](http://www.rhul.ac.uk/music){:blank}. This article introduces some of the sources recently discovered or catalogued in the project, to show the range of musical heritage found in these local archives. | ||

Derbyshire Record Office ([GB-MTdro](https://rism.online/institutions/51007743){:blank}) holds a unique complex of sources for Joseph Haydn’s Derbyshire Marches for military band, Hob. VIII:1–2. Although these sources were known to the editors of the _Johann Haydn Werke_, our RISM cataloguing has enabled new insights into them. The two Haydn marches were commissioned in 1794/5 by Sir Henry Harpur (1763–1819), 7th Baronet of Calke Abbey, for the cavalry regiment he had raised in Derbyshire. The manuscripts include Haydn’s autograph score of the March in C major Hob. VIII:2 ([RISM Catalog](https://opac.rism.info/search?id=1001307844&View=rism){:blank} \| [RISM Online](https://rism.online/sources/1001307844){:blank}) and sources in the hand of Haydn’s copyist Johann Elssler with corrections by the composer, including a score of the March in E flat major Hob. VIII:1 ([RISM Catalog](https://opac.rism.info/search?id=1001308157&View=rism){:blank} \| [RISM Online](https://rism.online/sources/1001308157){:blank}), incomplete sets of parts for both marches ([RISM Catalog](https://opac.rism.info/search?id=1001308398&View=rism){:blank} \| [RISM Online](https://rism.online/sources/1001308398){:blank}) and piano arrangements of both ([RISM Catalog](https://opac.rism.info/search?id=1001308294&View=rism){:blank} \| [RISM Online](https://rism.online/sources/1001308294){:blank}). The source complex also contains five exemplars of the printed edition published by Harpur ([RISM Catalog](https://opac.rism.info/search?id=990028178&View=rism){:blank} \| [RISM Online](https://rism.online/sources/990028178){:blank}). Autographs of the marches in E flat and C also survive in the Hungarian National Library ([RISM Catalog](https://opac.rism.info/search?id=530001642&View=rism){:blank} \| [RISM Online](https://rism.online/sources/530001642){:blank}) and Eisenstadt respectively, but the Derbyshire sources show Haydn’s revisions of these compositions and how he carefully corrected Elssler’s copies. | ||

Derbyshire Record Office also holds letters from the Harpur family relating to the commissioning, composition and reception of Haydn’s Derbyshire Marches, and a handwritten catalogue of Henry Harpur’s private music library, of which these sources were a part. In 1994 the Haydn manuscripts were accepted by the UK government from the Harpur-Crewe family in lieu of inheritance tax; ownership of these sources was transferred to the National Trust, which allocated them to Derbyshire Record Office. This is an example of how English local archives contain sources from high-profile composers that complement and enrich the insights available from manuscripts in major research libraries. | ||

Musical life in England’s rural counties was in close contact with the latest trends in London. So-called ‘persons of quality’ in the 18th century typically spent the social season in London and the rest of the year in their country residences. Musical sources often reflect this movement between London and the countryside. The music book of Mary Orlebar (1730–1821), preserved in Bedfordshire Archives ([RISM Catalog](https://opac.rism.info/search?id=1001284358&View=rism){:blank} \| [RISM Online](https://rism.online/sources/1001284358){:blank}), was copied around 1745 by the London organist [Philip Hart](https://rism.online/people/30006359){:blank}. The account books of the Orlebar family record their life divided between London and Bedfordshire, including Mary’s lessons with Hart. Her music book, copied in the distinctive florid hand of Hart with copious ornamentation and fingering, includes keyboard arrangements of concertos by Albinoni, Corelli and Vivaldi, and of an overture used in a Handel pasticcio of 1730. There are also songs associated with London’s pleasure gardens. Orlebar’s book shows the repertory available to a 15-year-old girl learning the harpsichord in the 1740s, including concerto arrangements requiring high levels of technical ability. | ||

Many music manuscripts in local archives stem from the collections of parish churches. Richard Poole’s anthem book (1792) was copied in the parish of Withington, Gloucestershire but survives in the parish collection of Kingsclere, Hampshire ([RISM Catalog](https://opac.rism.info/search?id=1001277835&View=rism){:blank} \| [RISM Online](https://rism.online/sources/1001277835){:blank}). The elegant calligraphy and elaborate title (_Choice Collection of Anthems…_) suggest Poole may have intended this manuscript for printed publication. It contains 149 anthems by composers including London musicians such as Henry Purcell, John Blow and William Boyce, and regional composers such as William Knapp, Joseph Key and Capel Bond. It also contains works by Poole himself plus a collaborative composition, _O sing unto the Lord a new song_ ([RISM Catalog](https://opac.rism.info/search?id=1001279224&View=rism){:blank} \| [RISM Online](https://rism.online/sources/1001279224){:blank}) ‘by several authors of the Musical Society…composed for the General Thanksgiving for his present Majesty’s Recovery’ [King George III], with sections attributed to six (presumably amateur) composers. The anthems by Purcell would more usually be found in the repertory of cathedral choirs, but Poole adapted them for parish singers by putting the voice-parts in the G clefs preferred by amateur musicians, rather than the C clefs usually found in Purcell sources. Further research may show how Poole was able to obtain copies of cathedral-level repertory in his Gloucestershire village. | ||

Insights on these sources arise from the work of our team of researchers including Andrew Frampton, Caro Lesemann-Elliott and Stephanie Carter, plus student helpers including Lizzy Buckle and Sophie Currie. This work again shows the value of the RISM database in showing the connections between continental European composers and the musical sources preserved in English local archives. We look forward to sharing more discoveries with the RISM community over the next two years. | ||
