This copy was transmitted by the composer to the late Mr. William Bartholomew for the purpose of his adapting English words to the oratorio. The version is the revised one made by the composer after the first production of the oratorio at Birmingham in August, 1846, although in some cases (amongst others the scene between Elijah and the Widow) both versions are given. Of the choruses, except in a very few instances, there is only an arrangement of the accompaniments for pianoforte, the voice parts being left blank. This, doubtless, was owing to the fact of but little alteration having been made in the choruses. Such changes as were made (notably, that in the Recitative Chorus, "The deeps afford no water"), are very carefully noted. The air "O rest in the Lord," and some less important portions are wanting. Presented to the Society by Mrs. Bartholomew. |
