THE present work is a collection of the Hymns and Sacred Songs, with the Tunes, used by the Congregation of the London Oratory in their Church and Oratory, and in the Schools of Compassion. The Second Part consists of a few Sacred Ballads for Schools, which for convenience have been printed with the Hymns. An Appendix has also been added, containing the Te Deum, and certain other Latin Hymns and Psalms, which may often be found useful in Novenas, Retreats, &c. When the work was in the press, it was discovered that one or two of the tunes were copyright in this country, and therefore they have been unavoidably omitted. As so many inquiries were being made for the Hymn-book, it was thought better not to delay the publication by seeking for other tunes to supply their place; and a few pages of blank music-paper have been added at the end of the book, to enable those who wish it to enter in Ms. these tunes, and any other additional tunes that may be found suitable to the Hymns. X ADVERTISEMENT. The Editors have to apologise for a mistake, which was only observed when it was too late to correct it. The Latin words of the Adeste Fideles are given in the letterpress, while in the music the tune is printed with the English words. It is perhaps an error of no great importance, as the Hymn is generally sung in Latin. |
