FUNERAL OF LORD NELSON':
•
• !tit It•IMAL OF THIP MUSIC, &C. AT IT. Ftpl."„ 11
CATHIDIAI., TO Cl USED AT fit IFUNSItAi, OF
torn VISCOUNT NFt VIM.
It having been deemed necessary by die flisho"p
Lincoln, the Dean of St. Paul's, th tt a rehearsal
f the music to be used at the fitn:ral of the late
Lad Viscount Nelson, should take place, prepara-
tory to that solemn occasion, six o'clock, last even-
, ipg, was the hour appointed for the purpmo. The
Master Carpenters accordingly di,missed the work-
men, and the place WAS prepared for the rehearsal.
At half past six o'clock. the Minor Canons and
Vicar Chorals of that Cathedral, the Gentlemen of
His Majesty's Chapel Royal and IVestminster Ab-
bey, being assembled 3t the west door, with wax
tapers, and Mr Pages score of the music to he per-
formed, in their hands; on a signal being given to
Mr. Atwood, the Organist, he struck the chords of
Dr. Croft's But ;al Sc.ri,e, in the minor key of G.
which will he performed on the entrance of the cot ps
of Lord Nelson into the church, and until it arrives
at the choir. The voices, to the number of eighty-
eight, tvrent!.- six of them bisys, begin to sing, as I
em the R,,Nrreet., without the organ ; which
occasionally struck the chords to keep them in tune.
The effelit of this solemn and sublime music, exceeds
all description ; it was sting currenly in time, by
such a numerous assemblage of excellent voices,
most of them being principal singers. They moved
in slow procession, in the follovinog cider :
A party of the Sth regiment of the City Voluoteita.
Two single filos, to keep off the SpeCUtoll.
The Hsan's Verret.
Mr. Sale, the Almoner ui the Chute..
The eight Young Gentlemen of the Choir.
Mr. lttafFard %meth,
at the head of the ten YOUNg Genneinen of His Majesty's
Chapel Royal, as their Master.
Tne eight Toting Gentlemen of the Wrsitiniuster-Aibl
Choir.
The Gentleint it of the there Choirs followed,
sus a-breast.
Titey moved so slow, that, by the time they got a
little beyond the ai;e, or under the centre of the
dome, they had finished the service ; they were
therefol, obliged to rehear* it again, when they
increased their pace sufficiently to finish the service
Jose as they had got under the organ-loft, which
was the appointed place. The while of them
then went up to a temporary orchestra, riveted at
the front of the organ, each of them having a wax
taper in his hand, and most of them being dressed
in black, made a very mourntul appe.sraoce. l'hey
proceeded to rehearse a new tivericot And Novae
dim tag, composed for the occasion be Mr. Au-
wood. They are both very scientific composi-
stions. The verse parts were given in a style
suitable to the solemnity of the occasion, by
Mr. Sale, Mr. Goss, and the Rev. Mr. Webb.
After which, Dr. Greene's Patera! Attica was
rehear-tel. The verse for two voices, for su-
premos, had a sublime etTea, as sung by the young
gentlemen. Ihe gentlemen of lit. Paul's Choir, to
the number of to enty-five, lett the Choir, went
down stairs, and were arranged under the organ loft.
—The Gentlemen of the other two Choirs whored
into another temporary Orchestra, at the back of the
organ. The organ began to play a solemn Dirge.
composed for the occasion, by Mr. Attweod, which
is intended to be performed as the corps moves
from the choir to the grave. The Gentlemen of St.
Pistol's moved in procession, in the tame order as
when they will precede the corps to-morrow, at the.,
west,end of the grave.
After the dirge was finished, the Burial Svvirc,
composed by Dr. Croft and Henry Purcel, were
sung by the gentlemen over the grave, as well as
by those in the orchestra. The whole concluded
with a seleaion from Handel's Funeral Amain*.
The sletglion is the grandest and most appropriate
possible.
'I he gentlemen from the College of Arms were
expeied to join in the procession, but they did not
come.
The rehearsal lasted near two hours ; and it is
supposed the ceremony will not occupy less time.
