Yevgenia Semeina Handel and Purcell sources, spring 2002 Henry Purcell’s Voluntary in D minor
I would like to compare the manuscript of the Voluntary in D minor with one
of the modern editions of this piece – The Novello edition of 1957, made by In the manuscript the last beat of bar eight is the resolution of the previous dominant chord to the tonic sixth chord. It follows by a modulation through Major tonic sixth chord and the Subdominant to the A Major. This progression sounds very interesting with its natural seventh. The editor takes away the resolution on the last beat of bar eight, he puts it on the first beat of bar nine. And then he puts the G sharp on the third beat and resolve it to the A minor chord on the last beat of this bar. By doing this he completely changes the color and the character of the cadence. The editor does not put these changes in brackets and in the editorial notes he does not explains why he did them. In Hopkins’s edition rhythm of bar eight stays the same as in the manuscript. In bar nine the editor suggests to put g sharp for the third note in bass. 3. In bar thirteen in the manuscript the fifth note in soprano is F sharp, which is changed to F natural in the McLean’s edition. There are no additional ornaments in the Edward J. Hopkins’s edition. In bar twenty-seven of the original there is a little cross above the f sharp in bass. Hugh McLean decided that this was an indication for the mistake, like it will be later in bar forty-seven, so he takes away the shake on that note. In the edition of Purcell Society nothing is left out in this bar. In McLean’s edition it is without rest like in the manuscript. In general, edition of The Purcell Society is more accurate and less edited although Hugh McLean’s edition is also very close to the original and except for the changes in bars 9-10 there are not that many differences. 5.01.02 Yevgenia Semeina Handel and Purcell sources, spring 2002 Bibliography Oxford UP, 1959.
