THE FITZWILLIAM MUSIC.

T-
HE UNIVERSITY of CAMBRIDGE
having most liberally granted permission to Mr. VIN-
CENT. NOVELLO (Organist of the Royal Portuguese
Chapel in London) to take Copies of, and publish such part
of the Manuscript Music contained in the Pitzwilliani Museum,
as he might think would be most gratifying to the Admirers
of Ancient Music, he proposes to bring forward, under the
above title, some of the roost rare and valu able of the numerous
Compositions which are preserved in the 3ltr:ical Library
longing to that extensive and magnificent collection of Wor'.,:s
connected with the Fine Arts,

The Selection will be made from that department which am-
suits of the SACRED MUSIC of CLARL CARISSIMI,
DURANTE, PARDRE MARTINI, LEONARDO LEO;
PALESTRINA, JOMELLI, PERGOLESI, and Other
Classical Composers of the Italian School ; and the entire
Work will consist of Compositions which have never yet been
published, and which even in Manuscript are extremely. rare.
It was the Editor's intention to hay.: omitted the Instru-
mental Score, and to have added instead, a separate part for
the Organ or Piano Forte; but as the productions of the early
Masters are, for the most part, written for comparatively few
sorts of Instruments, it appeared to him practicable to publish
the full Score, both Vocal and Instrumental ; and he was the
more desirous to give each Piece in its original and complete
form, when he considered the respect due as well to the armies
and authority of the very eminent Masters by whom the
Music was composed, as to the Nobleman ny whom it was
collected, and to the University, by whose permission it is al-
lowed to be published.
He therefore intends, by means of Plates properly condensed
Othe Engraver, to give the whole of the Pieces which require
chestral Accompaniments exactly as they were intended to
be performed by the Composers, and an arranged Accompani-
ment for the Organ or Piano Forte will also be added through.
out, for the accommodation of those who may not be accus-
tomed to play from Score.
The present Publication will consist of Five Numbers ;
price, to Subscribers, One Guinea each, Number, containing
upwards of 60 large , Plates, engraved in the beat style ; the

sentyear ; the others at intervals of about three months. _ _

Chancellor and University of Cambridge, to whom it will be
