Description:
Oblong quarto (278 x 208 mm). Unbound, folded. 29 pp. + 2 pp. of additional manuscript apparently not included in the final version. Notated in pencil on 16-stave paper. Signed and dated New York, Jan-April 1997. Supreme Virtue was commissioned by the Dale Warland Singers with the support of the Jerome Foundation and the Alice M. Ditson Fund of Columbia University. The Dale Warland Singers premiered the work in Minneapolis in June 2000. The text consists of an English translation by Stephen Mitchell of verses from the "Tao te Ching." It was first recorded by the Seattle-based chamber choir Esoterics on the Terpsichore label in the winter of 2008. "For a few years I was the tenor section leader of a choir in Washington, and in singing with and composing for them I'd become more and more interested in the quasi-instrumental vocal gesture. Stephen Mitchell's pellucid translation of this verse of the Tao te ching - a series of moral challenges all beginning with the words "Can you?" - spurred me to…

Paris: L' l'Entrée de la Porte de l'Academie Royale de Musique au Palais Royal, rue St. Honoré, 1709. Tall folio. Full 18th century dark brown mottled calf, spine with raised bands in decorative compartments gilt, titling gilt, dentelles gilt, decorative dark pink endpapers gilt, red edges. 1f. (recto "Catalogue des Opera de Mr. de Lully imprimés et gravés Qui se vendent chés le Sr. Foucaut marchant, rüe St. Honoré, à la regle d'or, proche la rüe de la lingerie, & rüe des bourdonnois," verso blank), 1f. (recto title, verso fine full-length engraved portrait of Lully by Bonnart titled "J.Bapt. Lully Surintendant de la Musique du Roy"), 1f. ("Privilege General" dated July 12, 1709), 225 pp. Engraved.
With 5 fine engravings at the head of the Prologue and each of the four acts representing scenes from the opera.
With an 18th century armorial bookplate engraved by [Jan Lodewyk] Krafft (1694-after 1762) to front pastedown.
Binding quite worn; edges darkened; some small cracks and abrasions; joints and hinges split; upper partially detached. Some minor internal wear but an attractive, wide-margined copy overall. Second edition, second issue. LWV 53. Schneider p. 269. Lesure p. 405. RISM L2963.
Atys, to a libretto by Philippe Quinault after Ovid's Fasti, was first performed at court, St Germain-en-Laye, on 10 January 1676.
"Lully's fourth tragedy was known as 'the king's opera' ... Atys combines the brilliant use of spectacle and intricately structured divertissements in Lully's earlier operas with more subtly structured recitative dialogues and a new seriousness of dramatic content. Burlesque scenes and subplots are absent for the first time and do not return in subsequent operas. Inward conflict, a prominent feature of the late tragedies Roland and Armide but virtually absent from most of Quinault's other librettos, is present here. Although Atys is not Lully's only opera to end sorrowfully, it is the only one to conclude with unmitigated tragedy." Lois Rosow in Grove Music Online.
The publisher's catalogue preceding the title lists the following Lully operas, with individual prices: Proserpine, Atys, Alceste, Phaeton, Roland, Persée, Armide, Amadis, and Thesée (in order of appearance).

Folio (ca. 356 x 278 mm.). Unbound. 9 leaves notated in pencil on one side of each leaf of 18-stave AZTEC C-18 music manuscript paper. A working manuscript, with erasures, alterations and cancellations. Together with: A copy of the published full score of the movement, i.e., pp. 107-138, and a 1-1/2 page printed commentary by the composer discussing the background of the work and briefly describing the music: "I should say, however, that as I was working on the last movement, I found myself thinking as much about the fox as about the hunting hounds. This, coupled with the fact that I recently acquired a recording of background music from the old movie serials that I used to go to as a kid, probably accounts for the quite ungentlemanly, almost lurid quality of the chase music."

Description:
London, Ewer & Co. [185???] Overstamped in red: Jordens & Martens. New-York 785 Broadway. Hard Cover. 1 p.l., 108 pages; 26.5 cm. Composed in 1843-1845 on commission from the King of Prussia and first performed in December of 1845, Athalie was the last production of Mendelssohn's Berlin period. The first edition was Leipzig, 1849. Jean Racine's (1639-1699) Biblical tragedy was first performed in 1691. This version, with English libretto by William Bartholomew (1793-1867), seems to be the first English edition, and, with its publisher's overstamp, the first American as well. It appears to be earlier than the editions in the NUC (cf. 375: 552-553) or in the Boston or New York Public Libraries catalogs. It certainly dates before 1867 when Ewer merged with Novello. Vg/ bound in 3/4 leather with name label on front cover of Charles F. Leonard (a bass if the pencil markings are his). Stock#OB201.
