Description

This is a Companion Volume to the edition of The Complete Works of Frances Ridley Havergal. Here is a valuable presentation of F.R.H.'s scores, most or nearly all of them very little if any at all seen, or even known of, for nearly a century. What a valuable body of music has been unknown for so long and is now made available to many. Dr. Wegge completed his Ph.D. in Music Theory at Indiana University at Bloomington, and his diligence and thoroughness in this volume are obvious. First an analysis of F.R.H.'s compositions is given, an essay that both addresses the most advanced musicians and also reaches those who are untrained in music; then all the extant scores that have been found are newly typeset, with complete texts for each score and extensive indices at the end of the book. Her extant scores are given in three sections: first, her hymntunes, then her art songs, and finally the posthumously published Loyal Responses with music. This volume presents F.R.H.'s music in newly typeset scores diligently prepared by Dr. Wegge, and Volume V of the Havergal edition presents the scores in facsimile, the original 19th century scores. (The essay-a dissertation-analysing her scores is given the same both in this Companion Volume and in Volume V of the Havergal edition.) Dr. Wegge has also prepared all of these scores for publication in performance folio editions.
