 Two Guineas ; or in Twenty-four Parts, at Eighteen-pence each, 



SACRED MINSTRELSY; 



A COLLECTION OF 



SACRED MUSIC FROM THE FINEST WORKS OF THE GREAT 

 MASTERS, BRITISH AND FOREIGN. 



ARRANGED AS 



Solos, and Concerted Pieces for Private Performance, with accompani- 

 ments for the Piano-Forte. 



The exclusive nature of nearly all existing collections of Sacred 

 Music, and the high price at which novelties are in general produced, 

 renders this work particularly desirable. Many fine productions, at 

 present comparatively unknown, would be hailed with delight as ad- 

 ditions to the stores of Sacred Harmony, could they be procured in 

 a familiar form and on reasonable terms. 



The design of the present work, therefore, is to place within the 

 reach of families, and of persons unaccustomed to playing from score, 

 really good practical music ; classical, yet not laboriously and use- 

 lessly learned ; to introduce into the drawing-room many beautiful 

 compositions of enduring value, which, if not altogether unknown, 

 have rarely been heard except at Concerts or Oratorios ; and thus to 

 attract towards Sacred Music a portion of that patronage which is 

 too generally bestowed, in so disproportionate a degree, upon works 

 of a secular kind.
