Summary |
"Notwithstanding his short career, Thomas Linley, Jr., (1756-78) is one of the most remarkable English composers in the second half of the eighteenth century. A student of Boyce and Nardini, he was leader and violin soloist for his father's concerts in Bath and at London's Drury Lane Theatre. Linley composed music for the violin, for the stage and, most importantly, three choral works, one of which is the oratorio The Song of Moses (1777), based on a rhymed paraphrase of the Bible by John Hoadly. The Song of Moses is one of the few indigenous English oratorios that emerge in this period. Composed in the tradition of Handel, Linley's work imaginatively combines effective text setting with music elements Linley acquired in his work for the theater and draws on galant models for some of the airs. The edition is based on the only known source of the work in the British Library. Supplementary numbers to Linley's anthem "Let God Arise" (volume 7 in this series) are included in an appendix." -- Provided by publisher. |
