Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Catholic Harp: Containing the Morning and Evening Service of the Catholic Church; Embracing a Choice Collection of Masses, Litanies, Psalms, Sacred Hymns, Anthems, Versicles and Motetts In the arrangement of this work, it may be proper to state, that, the Tenor part is written on the upper stave, when three or four staves are connected by a brace; the upper notes on the Base, when written double, are also intended for the Tenor. The Alto, is under the Tenor, and generally in this work, on the same stave with the Soprano. We are aware that this little work is by no means as perfect as it might be, had persons better qualified than ourselves been employed. We are aware, too, that many faults and errors may be found, notwithstanding the care that has been taken to correct the proof sheets; but we trust, none will prove material. We should be ungrateful were We to conclude without offering our thanks to Mr. Garbett, Compiler of the Rt. Rev. Dr. Fenwick's book, from which we have selected a number of pieces; and to Mr. Jacob Walter of Baltimore. We also offer our thanks to a clergyman of Boston, who prepared music for this work; and other gentlemen who have assisted us in this undertaking.
