# Complete Encyclopaedia of Music/B/Basset-horn

Basset-horn (I. CORNO DI BASSETTO ), bears the same relation to the C Clarinet that the Cor Anglais (English Horn) does to the Oboe, being in fact an Alto Clarinet in F. The lowest note being E natural, this on the added lines, the lowest notes are often written in the F Clef and an octave lower than their proper position.
The tone of the Basset-Horn is richer and mellower than that of the Clarinet, but in modern music it is seldom, if ever, met with. The tipper compass is about the same as that of the Clarinet. At the present day the Alto Clarinet has entirely monopolized its functions and the Basset-Horn is a thing of the past.

# Catholic Hymns (1860)/Stabat Mater

53. Stabat Mater.
At the Cross her station keeping,
Stood the mournful mother weeping,
Close to Jesus to the last. Through her heart, His sorrow sharing,
All His bitter anguish hearing,
Now at length the sword had pass'd.
Oh, how sad and sore distress'd
Was that Mother, highly blest
Of the sole begotten One!
Christ above in torment hangs;
She beneath beholds the pangs Of her dying glorious Son.
Is there one who would not weep,
Whelmed in miseries so deep,
Christ's dear Mother to behold?
Can the human heart refrain ​From partaking in her pain, In that Mother's pain untold?
Bruised, derided, cursed, defiled, She beheld her tender Child All with bloody scourges rent; For the sins of His own nation, Saw Him hang in desolation,
Till His Spirit forth He sent.
O thou Mother! fount of love!
Touch my spirit from above,
Make my heart with thine accord;
Make me feel as thou hast felt;
Make my soul to glow and melt
With the love of Christ my Lord.
Holy Mother! pierce me through;
In my heart each wound renew
Of my Saviour crucified;
Let me share with thee His pain,
Who for all my sins was slain,
Who for me in torments died.
Let me mingle tears with thee,
Mourning Him who mourn'd for me,
All the days that I may live:
By the Cross with thee to stay;
There with thee to weep and pray;
Is all I ask of thee to give.
Virgin of all virgins best!
Listen to my fond request:
Let me share thy grief divine;
Let me, to my latest breath,
In my body bear the death
Of that dying Son of thine.
# Catholic Hymns (1860)/The last Farewell

The last Farewell. (A Hymn on Death.)
Come, my soul, and let us dwell
On each lingering last farewell, ​Which at no far distant day
Thou perforce wilt have to pay
To whatever here below
Shall have made thy joy or woe.
Fare ye well—I hear thee sigh—
Fare ye well, O earth and sky! Morning's golden-tissued ray,
Changing hours of night and day,
Wood and valley, sea and shore,
I may see your face no more!
Fare ye well, affections vain.
Full of pleasure, full of pain;
Home and friends and kindred dear,
All that was my comfort here;
My poor eyes are closing fast,
Now I look on you my last.
Dimmer, dimmer grows the light!
Now 'tis thick descending night! Oh, when next again I see,
What a sight awaiteth me!
Speechless standing, all alone,
Right before the judgment throne.
# Catholic Hymns (1860)/Sing, Sing, ye Angel Bands

50. Sing, Sing, ye Angel Bands.
Sing, sing, ye Angel bands,
All beautiful and bright;
For higher still, and higher,
Through the vast fields of light,
Mary your Queen ascends,
Like the sweet moon at night.
A fairer flower than she
On earth hath never been;
And, save the throne of God,
Your heav'ns have never seen
A wonder half so bright
As your ascending Queen.
O happy Angels! look,
How beautiful she is! ​See! Jesus bears her up,
Her hand is lock'd in His;
Oh, who can tell the height
Of that fair Mother s lies
And shall I lose thee, then,
Lose my sweet right to thee
Ah, no!—the Angel's Queen
Man's mother still will be,
And thou, upon thy throne,
Will keep thy love for me
# Catholic Hymns (1860)/The Holy name of Jesus

The Holy name of Jesus.
Jesu, the very thought of Thee
With sweetness fills my breast;
But sweeter far Thy face to see,
And in Thy presence rest.
​Nor voice can sing, nor heart can frame,
Nor can the memory find
A sweeter sound than Thy blest Name,
O Saviour of mankind.
O Jesu, Thou the beauty art
Of angel worlds above;
Thy Name is music to the heart,
Enchanting it with love.
O hope of every contrite soul,
O Joy of all the meek,
How kind art Thou to those who fall,
How good to those who seek!
But what to thoss who find? ah, this
Nor tongue nor pen can shew:
The love of Jesus, what it is,
None but His lov'd ones know.
O Jesu, spotless Virgin flower,
Our life, our joy, to Thee
Be praise, beatitude, and power
Through all eternity.
# Catholic Hymns (1860)/Saint Teresa

Saint Teresa. (October 15th.)
Sweet Saint, in thy young childhood's day
The thought was in thy infant head,
That it were sweet to die for Christ,
And for the faith thy blood to shed.
But God decreed thee not to fall
By sword of Paynim, Turk, or Moor;
A living death of martyrdom
His love reserv'd thee to endure.
Thy youthful follies oft deplor'd
To us have made thee still more dear;
Since we in them have come to know
Thy candour and thy truth sincere.
For when thy Lord, with sweet reproof,
Had made to thee thine errors known,
At once thy frank and loving heart
Was wholly kept for Him alone.
Oh, what a strange instructive scene
Thy life thenceforth began to be!
Now suffering dread unheard-of pain,
Now lost in wondrous ecstacy.
Now contemplating things divine,
Beyond the power of man to tell;
Now in appalling vision plung'd,
Amid the hopeless cries of hell.
O sweet Teresa, now at last,
Thy labours o'er and heaven won,
Thou lovest God without restraint,
And shinest brighter than the sun.
​Ah, then, from thy fair throne above
Obtain for us thy children here,
To imitate thy childhood's love,
In after life to persevere.
# Catholic Hymns (1860)/The Help of Christians

52. The Help of Christians.
Mother of our Lord and Saviour,
First in beauty as in power, ​Glory of the Christian nations,
Ready help in trouble's hour.
Though the gates of Hell against us,
With profoundest fury rage;
Though the ancient foe assault us,
And his fiercest battle wage.
Nought can hurt the pure in spirit,
Who upon thine aid rely;
At thy hand secure of gaining
Strength and mercy from on high
Through the everlasting ages,
Blessed Trinity, to Thee, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, Praise and endless glory be
# Catholic Hymns (1860)/Star of Jacob

26. Star of Jacob.
Star of Jacob, ever beaming
With a radiance all divine,
Mid the stars of highest heaven
Glows no purer ray than thiue!
​All in stoles of snowy whiteness,
Unto thee the angels sing;
Unto thee the virgin choirs,—
Mother of th' eternal King!
Joyful in thy path they scatter
Roses white and lilies fair;
Yet with thy celestial beauty
Rose nor lily may compare.
Oh, that this low earth of ours,
Answ'ring to th' angelic strain,
With thy praises might re-echo,
Till the heav'ns replied again.
# Catholic Hymns (1860)/St. Anne, Mother of the B. V. Mary

19. St. Anne, Mother of the B. V. Mary. (July 26th.)
Spotless Anna, Juda's glory,
Through the Church from east to west
Every tongue proclaims thy praises,
Holy Mary's mother blest!
Saintly kings and priestly sires
Blended in thy sacred line; ​Thou in virtue all before thee
Didst excel by grace divine.
Link'd in bonds of purest wedlock,
Thine it was for us to bear,
By the favour of high heaven,
Our immortal Virgin star.
From thy stem in beauty budded
Ancient Jesse's mystic rod;
Earth from thee received the mother
Of the eternal Son of God.
All the human race benighted
In the depths of darkness lay,
When in Anne it saw the dawning
Of the long-expected day.
# Catholic Hymns (1860)/The Holy Guardian Angel

The Holy Guardian Angel. (October 2nd.)
Kind Angel guardian, thanks to thee
For thy so watchful care of me;
Oh, lead me still in ways of truth,
Dear guide of childhood and of youth.
Kind Angel guardian, let my tears
Implore thee too for riper years;
Oh, keep me safe in wisdom's way,
And bring me back if I should stray.
When angry passions fill my soul,
Subdue them to thy meek control;
Through good and ill, oh, ever be
A guide, a guard, a friend to me.
And when death's hand shall seal mine eyes,
Oh, bear my spirit to the skies,
And teach me there my voice to raise
In hymns of never-ending praise.
# Catholic Hymns (1860)/St. Aloysius

St. Aloysius. (June 31st.)
Deae Saint, who on thy natal day
To Mary's tender care was given,
And did beneath her gentle sway
Almost unsinniug pass to heav'n:
​Sweet flower which lov'd to bloom unknown,
A Saint 'mid worldly pomp and pride;
Who at the footstep of a throne
Knew nought but Jesus crucified:
Blest youth, who cast a crown away,
To be with Christ despised and poor
Teach us to walk our humble way,
Content, though little be our store
May no repining fill our breast
Amid the ills of poverty;
Oh, make us feel that we are blest,
To be thus poor with Christ and thee!
Teach us like thee to shrink from sin,
Like thee to love sweet purity;
That we from Mary's heart may win
The love she once bestow'd on thee
Thus safe beneath her gentle sway,
Oh, may the grace to us be giv'n,
To pass from earth some happy day,
And join thee in the courts of heav'n.

​NEWMAN, JOHN HENRY; born in London, England, Feb. 21, 1801; was ordained in 1824, and in the following year his friend Dr. Whately having been appointed head of St. Alban's Hall, Newman was by him selected as his vice principal. He was one of the most active in commencing and carrying on the so-called Oxford movement—the great object of which was to counteract as well the Romanizing as the dissenting tendencies of the time, by restoring and bringing into notice what Newman and his friends believed to be the catholic character of the English Church. With this view he commenced, in 1833, the series known as the “Oxford Tracts,” to which he was himself one of the chief contributors; and in 1838 he also became editor of the “British Critic.” In October, 1845, he was admitted into the Roman Catholic Church, a step which was immediately followed by the publication of a work on the “Development of Christian Doctrine.” Soon afterward he went to Rome, where, after some preparation, he was admitted to orders in the Roman Catholic Church; and in 1848, on his return to England, he established a branch of the Congregation of the Oratory of St. Philip Neri, of which he was himself appointed the superior. In 1852 he was appointed rector of the Catholic University established in Dublin; and in 1879 he was made a cardinal by Pope Leo XIII. Newman was an opponent of ultramontanism. Among his works written after 1845 were “Callista,” a tale; “Apology for my Life,” “Essay on Assent,” “History of Arianism,” etc. Several of his hymns are well known, particularly “Lead, Kindly Light,” He died Aug. 11, 1890.
