Music Notes:


Through the Summer months we will be singing Mass of the
Angels and Saints by Steven R Janco.


During July, music leadership at Mass: Saturday Vigil 5 pm
(cantor Betty DeOrian), Sunday 8:30 am (cantor Chang "Robin" Lee),
Sunday 11 am (choir members, as their vacation plans permit).


Francis Linley (1771(4?)-1800), born in Doncaster England,
was blind from birth, nonetheless carved out for himself a
successful career as organist, publisher, composer.


While living in Pentonville (named after Member of Parliament
(MP) Henry Penton, but now unrecognizable, a suburb of London),
he was organist at St James Chapel (near Grimaldi Park) and
some time music agent for John Watlen of Edinburgh.


Later, in London, he was owner of the third of at least five
consecutive businesses to publish and sell music at 45 High Holborn:
(1) John Bland "music seller, engraver, printer and publisher"
(c1778-95) who claimed to be the first music printer to publish
singly the works of Handel and other celebrated composers;
(2) succeeded by Lewis, Houston and Hyde "music sellers" who went
bankrupt 4 Feb 1797;
(3) succeeded by Linley "music seller and publisher" who purchased
in March 1797 the stock and business of 12,000 engraved plates;
(4) succeeded by William Hodsoll "music seller" (1798-1831);
(5) succeeded by Z T Purday "publisher" (at least through 1840).


During his ownership, Linley added volumes 17-20 to the collection
"Bland's Collection of Divine Music". After he sold the business,
he emigrated to America (1798-99), but then returned to Doncaster
England. Among his own published works are a collection of organ
voluntaries, a harpsichord tutor, and "A practical introduction
to the organ" (Opus 6, 9th ed, c1800).
