Mundy O Lord the Maker.Musx

ANCIENT GROOVE MUSIC O Lord, the Maker of all thing

Edited by WILLIAM MUNDY Ben Byram-Wigﬁeld (1529 - 1591)

The text, a metric translation of the hymn Te lucis ante terminum, is from the King’s Primer of 1545, but the earliest music sources date from 1625, some thirty-ﬁve years after Mundy’s death. British Library MS Harley 7339, dated 1716, claims that the piece was ‘composed first in Latin by Henry VIII and sung in his own Royall Chappell’ although the scribe, Thomas Tudway, is known for confusing details. Manuscripts, dated 1664, of music sung at Durham Cathedral, (Additional 30478-9) attribute the work to John Sheppard, however, Mundy is clearly given credit in a Durham Cathedral Library organ book of 1635. Thomas Tudway’s score of 1716 was copied from a Chapel Royal source which no longer survives. William Mundy became a Gentleman of St George’s Chapel in 1564, during the reign of Elizabeth I. If Mundy did produce this piece in Henry’s reign, then he would have done so when he was still Head Chorister at Westminster Abbey in his late teens!

BL Additional 29289, dated 1625, includes a second Alto part for the last seven bars. This is most likely to be a seventeenth century addition, as half of the music merely copies other parts. Also shown in Add. 29289 and other manuscripts are antiphonal indications for Decani and Cantoris. In some of the later sources, a repeat is indicated. These indications are shown in this edition, but should not be considered obligatory.

Note values have been halved and the music transposed up a minor third. Small accidentals are used to show reduced or extended validity of source accidentals, and musica ﬁcta. Bracketed accidentals are cautionary. Slurs are editorial. Spelling and punctuation have been modernised. The lower three parts in bar 45 are editorial, as is the last alto note of bar 2, originally a third lower. h bb b [C = Ó50] œ œ ˙ œ œ œ œ Œ Soprano & b ˙ ˙ œ ˙ ˙ œ O Lord, the maker of all thing, We b b j Alto b b C ˙ œ œ Œ œ. & w œ œ ˙ œ œ œ n˙ Aœ œ O Lord, the ma - ker of all thing, We pray thee œ œ bbbb C w ˙ œ œ œ œ œ ˙ œ œ . œ œ Tenor V . .
