# A Dictionary of Music and Musicians/Wise, Michael

​WISE, Michael, born in Wiltshire (probably at Salisbury), about 1648, was admitted a child of the Chapel Royal under Captain Cooke in 1660. In 1663 he became a lay- clerk of St. George's Chapel, Windsor. In 1668 he was appointed organist and master of the choristers of Salisbury Cathedral. On Jan. 6, 1675–6 he was admitted a Gentleman of the Chapel Royal in the place of Raphael Courteville, deceased, being described in the cheque-book as 'a counter-tenor from Salisbury.' At the time of the coronation of James II. (April 23, 1685) he was suspended from that office, and Edward Morton officiated in his stead. The cause of such suspension is unknown. There is in the Bagford collection in the British Museum library a coarse political song, published in London in 1680, entitled 'The Wiltshire Ballad,' from which it appears that Wise had been engaged with other Wiltshire men in getting up a petition for calling a parliament. It is possible that this siding with those opposed to the Court policy may have been made the pretext for his suspension. On Jan. 27, 1686–7, Wise was appointed almoner and master of the choristers of St. Paul's Cathedral. But he did not hold those offices long. On Aug. 24, 1687, being at Salisbury, he had a dispute with his wife, in the heat of which he rushed out into the street, and the hour being late, was challenged by a watchman, with whom he commenced a quarrel, and received a blow on the head from the man's bill which killed him, The place of ​his burial is unknown; no traces of it can be found in the registers of the cathedral or any of the churches in Salisbury. Wise's principal compositions are for the church, and they are 'among the glories of our cathedral music. He added melody to science, and in setting sacred words evinced as much judgment as genius. His anthems, "Awake up, my glory," "Prepare ye the way of the Lord," and "The ways of Zion do mourn," have lost none of their charm by use or age, and are still listened to with admiration by all those who hear them, and whose feelings are attuned to church music of the most elegant and expressive kind.'

# A Dictionary of Music and Musicians/Windsor

​WINDSOR or ETON TUNE. This is first found in Damon's music to the Psalms, 1591, harmonised in four parts, and set to Ps. cxvi. It is not in Damon's earlier work of 1579. As no complete set of parts is known to exist, the melody only can be quoted:—
This affords an example of Damon's method of prolonging a tune by repetition, of which Hawkins speaks.
​In 1592 the tune appears in Este's 'Whole Booke of Psalmes,' containing the Church Tunes, and 'other short tunes usually sung in London and most places of the Realme.' It is marked as being one of the latter, and must therefore have been in use for some little time previously. In Este's Psalter it is harmonised by George Kirby as follows, the melody in the tenor:—
Damon and Kirby merely harmonised the melody, but whoever was its composer, it is only an adaptation of the tune set by Dr. Tye to the third chapter of his curious work, 'The Actes of the Apostles, translated into Englyshe Metre … with notes to eche Chapter, to synge and also to play upon the Lute,' 1553. Here we find the first, third, and fourth strains of Windsor, and a fragment of the second. For the sake of comparison Dr. Tye's tune is subjoined, reduced into score in modern clefs.
In Este's Psalter the tune has no distinctive name, but in 1615 it was inserted in the Scottish Psalter published by Andro Hart, as 'Dundie.' In Ravenscroft's Psalter, 1621, it is marked as an English tune, and is doubly named 'Windsor or Eaton.' The tune was popular in Scotland, and this, coupled with the Scottish form of its earliest name led to the belief that it was indigenous to that country.
In Hart's Psalter of 1615 the melody alone is given:—
Dundie Tune.
Here a slight variation occurs in the second strain, and the leading note is omitted in the ​first, third and fourth strains, thus giving the melody a modal form. This may have been done to assimilate its character to that of other tunes in the collection; but however this may be, the accidental was restored to the penultimate note of the last strain in Raban's Psalter, Aberdeen, 1633:—
IX. Dundie Tune.
and throughout the hymn in the harmonised Scottish Psalter of 1635:—
Dundie Tune.
[ G. A. C. ]
* ↑ For an account of this extremely scarce work see Hawkins. Hist. of Music, chap, cxvii.
* ↑ Burns, in his 'Cottar's Saturday Night,' refers to this tune:— 'Perhaps Dundee's wild warbling measures rise, O plaintive Martyrs, worthy of the name.' Care must be taken not to confound it with the 'Dundee' of Ravenscroft, which is the 'French tune' of the Scottish Psalter.

PREFACE.
THIS volume is based upon my Ancient History and Mediæval and Modern History. In some instances I have changed the perspective and the proportions of the narrative; but in the main, the book is constructed upon the same lines as those drawn for the earlier works. In dealing with so wide a range of facts, and tracing so many historic movements, I cannot hope that I have always avoided falling into error. I have, however, taken the greatest care to verify statements of fact, and to give the latest results of discovery and criticism.
Considering the very general character of the present work, an enumeration of the books that have contributed facts to my narration, or have helped to mould my views on this or that subject, would hardly be looked for; yet I wish here to acknowledge my special indebtedness, in the earlier parts of the history, to the works of George Rawlinson, Sayce, Wilkinson, Brugsch, Grote, Curtius, Mommsen, Merivale, and Leighton; and in the later parts, and on special periods, to the writings of Hodgkin, Emerton, Ranke, Freeman, Michaud, Bryce, Symonds, Green (J. R.), Motley, Hallam, Thiers, Lecky, Baird, Müller.
Several of the colored maps, with which the book will be found liberally provided, were engraved especially for my Ancient History; but the larger number are authorized reproductions of charts accompanying Professor Freeman's Historical Geography of Europe. The Roman maps were prepared for Professor William ​F. Allen's History of Rome, which is to be issued soon, and it is to his courtesy that I am indebted for their use.
The illustrations have been carefully selected with reference to their authenticity and historical truthfulness. Many of those in the Oriental and Greek part of the work are taken from Oscar Jäger's Weltgeschichte; while most of those in the Roman portion are from Professor Allen's forthcoming work on Rome, to which I have just referred, the author having most generously granted me the privilege of using them in my work, notwithstanding it is to appear in advance of his.
Further acknowledgments of indebtedness are also due from me to many friends who have aided me with their scholarly suggestions and criticism. My warmest thanks are particularly due to Professor W. F. Allen, of the University of Wisconsin; to Dr. E. W. Coy, Principal of Hughes High School, Cincinnati; to Professor William A. Merrill, of Miami University; and to Mr. D. H. Montgomery, author of The Leading Facts of History series.

This officer entered the Navy, 24 Dec. 1796, as Midshipman, on board the Madras 54, Capt. John Dilkes, in which ship he continued to serve as Midshipman and Master’s Mate, on the West India, Mediterranean, and Home stations, until Feb. 1804. He then removed to the Agincourt 64, Capt. Thos. Briggs; and on 22 Jan. 1806, after a servitude of some months, as Sub-Lieutenant, in the Mercator, Capt. Jas. Welch, and Snipe, Lieut.-Commander Champion, he was presented with a commission conferring on him the rank of full Lieutenant. He joined, about the same period, the Spitfire sloop, Capt. Henry Sam. Butt, employed in the North Sea and Channel, but in Oct. following was obliged to go on shore in consequence of a wound in the side. In the course of 1807 he obtained appointments to the Bellerophon and Elizabeth 74’s, Capts. Edw. Rotheram and Hon. Henry Curzon, under the latter of whom he served for a short time at the blockade of Lisbon. He again went on half-pay in Dec. 1807, and owing to the effects of his wound, was unable, we believe, to accept further employment afloat. During a few months in 1815-16, and for some time subsequent to Oct. 1822, he appears to have had charge of the Telegraph at Chelsea Hospital. He became a Retired Commander 5 Jan. 1839.

Robert Hughes entered the Navy, 1 Dec. 1797, as A.B,, on board L’Aigle 38, Capt, Chas. Tyler, and on 18 July, 1798, was wrecked, near Tunis, on which occasion he suffered many severe hardships. In the ensuing Sept. he became Midshipman of the Marlborough 74, Capt, Thos. Sotheby; but that ship being also lost, off Belleisle, 4 Nov. 1800, he next, in Jan. 1801, joined the Trent 36, commanded at first by Sir Edw. Hamilton, and afterwards by Capt, Chas, Brisbane, whom he successively followed, as Master’s Mate, into the Goliath 74, and Arethusa 38; assisting, in the Goliath, at the capture, 28 June, 1803, of La Mignonne French national corvette of 16 guns and 80 men. In June, 1805, he removed to the Astrea 32, Capt. Jas. Carthew, at the Nore; and on 25 Aug. in the same year, he was appointed Acting-Lieutenant of the Combatant sloop, Capt. Alex. Robt, Kerr, in the Downs. In about a month afterwards, however, he went back to the Arethusa, still commanded by Capt. Brisbane; in which ship we find him present at the capture, 23 Aug. 1806, near the Havana, after a spirited action, in which the Arethusa had 2 men killed and 32 wounded, of the Pomona Spanish frigate, of 38 guns and 347 men, laden with specie and merchandize, and defended by a castle, mounting 11 36-pounders, and a flotilla of 10 gun-boats, all of which were destroyed. After further sharing in the memorable capture of Curaçoa, Mr. Hughes was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant, by commission dated 23 Feb. 1807. With the exception of a brief command, in June and July, 1812, of the Merope 10, he next, from Aug. 1808 until May, 1813, served with the same Captain and the present Sir Edw. Codrington on board the Blake 74. He took, during that period, a warm part in the hostilities of 1809 in the Scheldt, served at the siege of Cadiz, and, among other operations on the coast of Spain, united in the defence of Tarragona. On the night of 26 Sept. 1812, some time after the latter place had fallen into the hands of the French, we find Mr. Hughes, who was then First of the Blake, assuming command of her boats, and sweeping the mole of all the vessels and boats which had there sought protection, notwithstanding an angry discharge of shot and shells from the town. In the execution of this service, which was conducted simultaneously with a land-operation under the Baron d’Eroles, he greatly acquired the approbation of his Captain, Codrington. His last appointment was, ​20 Sept. 1813, to the Rippon 74, Capt. Sir Christopher Cole, on the Channel station, where he assisted in capturing, 21 Oct., the French frigate Le Weser, of 44 guns, and, in Feb. 1814, a Spanish treasure-ship of immense value. He went on half-pay in Aug. of the latter year; and accepted his present rank 4 Feb. 1842.
