Title: 13 volumes of music with over 60 titles
Author: MUSIC COLLECTION
Seller: Rootenberg Rare Books & Manuscripts (United States)
Description: 18th and 19th century. The compositions include pieces for the voice, piano, violin, and cello, and range from sonatas to airs to operas. The majority of the works, many with fine engravings, were printed in Britain from notable music publishers. The publication dates vary from the late eighteenth to the mid-nineteenth century. The collection contains works by classical composers like Mozart, Handel, and Beethoven as well as poets like Felicia Hemans, Lord Byron, and Robert Burns. Overall, the books offer an interesting survey in the history of British music publishing, the printing of classical compositions, and the collecting of music. A complete list of all compositions is available upon request. I. Countess of Lonsdale Music Collection Two volumes bound for the library of Grace Cecile Lowther (née Gordon), Countess of Lonsdale (1854-1941), wife of 5th Earl of Lonsdale and daughter of 10th Marquess of Huntly. The first volume contains eight violin compositions for sonatas, and the second volume has the corresponding parts for the piano. The volumes contain the earliest imprints, mostly from the 1790s, and has works by Mozart, Haydn, and Pleyel among others. II. STEVENSON, Sir John & Thomas MOORE A selection of Irish melodies, with symphonies and accompaniments by Sir John Stevenson Mus. Doc. And characteristic words by Thomas Moore, Esq.r. London: Published & sold at W. Powers, [c. 1808-1810]. Two bound volumes of issues of Stevenson’s and Moore’s Irish Melodies (c. 1808-1834). The first book includes issues 1-4 (issue 1 is lacking the title-page). The second book includes issues 4-6 (issue 4 is a duplicate). There were 10 total issues printed. Stevenson (1761–1833) was an Irish composer, and Moore (1779–1852) was an Irish poet, singer and songwriter. Irish Melodies is Stevenson’s best known work, and he collaborated with Moore on several other projects. III. Original Scottish and Welsh Airs Three bound volumes that consist of Original Scottish airs and Orignal Welsh airs from the music publisher George Thomson with his signature. Between the three books there are early editions of four volumes of Original Scottish airs, four volumes of the rare violin parts for Scottish airs, and one volume of the Original Welsh airs and a volume of its optional violin part. Thomson employed composers like Pleyel and Haydn and the poet Robert Burns to produce his series of national airs. These volumes also contain many copperplate engravings in addition to the sheet music. Signature of John Carnegie, Glasgow, 1810, on all volumes. IV. HANDEL, George Frederic Solomon, composed by G.F. Handel, arranged for the organ or piano-forte, by Dr. John Clarke, Cambridge. London: Printed by Clementi, Collard, & Collard, [c. 1825]. Folio. [iii], 193, 1 pp. Engraved title with border design and vignette by Isaac Taylor; inscription in brown ink of Charles Severn. Arrangement of the vocal score for Handel’s (1685–1759) oratorio, Solomon (HWV 67). Until recently, the librettist of Solomon was unknown. However, it is likely that the English/Jewish financier-poet, Moses Mendes (c. 1690–1758) provided the lyrics to Handel’s oratorio according to a new documentary source. The previous owner of this volume was Charles Severn (1806–1894), a musician and member of the Royal Society of Musicians in Great Britain. V. ROSSINI, [Gioachino Antonio] Mosè in Egitto, oratorio in tre atti, musica di Rossini, nuova edizione. Paris: Ou Magazin de Musique de Pacini, [c. 1825]. Folio. [ii], 1, [ii], 203 pp. Rossini (1792–1868) was an Italian composer known for his comic operas including William Tell (1829). He composed Mosè in Egitto with the librettist, Andrea Leone Tottola, around 1818. Rossini later revised the opera, adding a fourth act and a ballet, in 1827 and renamed it Moïse et Pharaon. Both versions were highly successful and remain Rossini’s best known works. VI. Voice and piano-forte This volume contains 23 engraved pieces of music. The majority of works are romantic songs with lyrics for solos or duets. There are also works for the piano-forte. All entries, except four, are from British composers and/or poets. The exceptions are two songs from Italian composers (based in England), a duet from Mozart’s The Marriage of Figaro (printed by a British music firm), and a book of eight anonymous, Italian duets. Highlights include three songs from Lord Bryon’s and Isaac Nathan’s Hebrew Melodies, title-pages with lithographs from Maxim Gauci’s firm, and many works by women composers and poets like Felicia Hermans. VII. Trios Three volumes of trios for the piano, violin, and cello. There are six compositions in total with each volume containing the parts for each instrument. The sheet music comes from a variety of publishing firms with a date range of the early to mid-nineteenth century, and consists of works by Classical composers including Mendelssohn, Mozart, and Beethoven.

Title: Collection of Five Early Holograph Hüsker Dü Set-Lists and Flyers
Author: [Hüsker Dü]
Seller: Brian Cassidy Bookseller at Type Punch Matrix (United States)
Condition: Very good.
Description: Minneapolis: n.p., 1980. Very good.. Collection of early setlists from seminal band Hüsker Dü for shows in their hometown of Minneapolis, all predating the release of their debut album LAND SPEED RECORD, and all but one predating its recording. More so than for any of their contemporaries, the setlist was an integral part of Hüsker Dü, not only because of the band's legendary live shows and incessant touring, but because even from an early date Hüsker had an extensive catalogue. By the time of the first gig represented here, the band had more than 50 songs to their name. And throughout their career the band experimented with live performances arguably more than any of the other prominent punk bands of the period. Husker was known for performing multiple sets, rotating songs, and blistering performances that blurred the lines between the beginnings and ends of their often notoriously brief songs. Indeed, Husker's first album was a live LP. The best Hüsker resource remains the website Hüsker Dü Database (http://www.thirdav.com/hddb.shtml), as complete a record of the band as exists anywhere. None of these sets, however, are recorded (indeed it appears that almost all the known setlists from this period originate with bootleg recordings), and the final show here represented is not recorded in the database at all. Therefore, a significant primary record of one of the most influential bands to emerge from 1980s alternative music, coupled with flyers that offer a small portrait of the burgeoning Twin Cities "college rock" scene. Ranging from 11'' x 8.5'' to 22'' x 8.5''. Five holograph setlists over seven leaves. All penned or penciled to versos of various Minneapolis music flyers. Two in Bob Mould's hand, remainder possibly in second hand (either Hart or Norton), but likely Mould's as well. Expected folds, creasing, and wear. One setlist on oversized flyer (1/12/81) cleanly split down middle between sets one and two, likely at time of composition. This setlist also shows mild running to some of the ink (sweat?), not effecting legibility. Another (12/30/80) includes only second set ("2" prominently noted and circled at top). All lists additionally penciled by original collector, who noted locations and dates of each gig in a tiny, unobtrusive hand. Dates included: 11/22/80 (at 7th St. Entry, on verso of undated Sam's promo flyer), 12/13/80 (7th St. Entry, second set only, on verso of different undated Sam's promo flyer), 1/12/81 (7th St. Entry, on verso of Sam's flyer advertising Jan. 22nd, 1981 show by Nona Hendrix and Zero Cool), 2/3/81 (7th St. Entry, on verso of January 1981 calendar from same, which lists the 1/12 show above, as well as two shows by the Replacements), and 8/27/81 (7th St. Entry, on versos of two different Sam's flyers - one a Sept. 1981 calendar listing shows from Hüsker Dü, The Replacements, and the db's, the second for a Sept. 17th Screaming Urge gig).

Title: A Nuestros Compatrias del Salvador. Salvadorenños como Vosotros, Amantes de Nuestra Comun Patria... [caption title and first line of text]
Author: [El Salvador]. [Barrios, Gerardo]
Seller: McBride Rare Books (United States)
Condition: Very good.
Description: [San Salvador?], 1863. Very good.. 4pp., on a bifolium. Folio. Portion of lower margin torn away, otherwise light edge wear. A fascinating and rather lengthy anti-Barrios address by his conservative opponents and would-be deposers in El Salvador. José Gerardo Barrios Espinoza was elected president of El Salvador in 1860, following several stints as interim head of state. The present work attacks Barrios' character, the "abyss of evils" that he has brought upon the country, and compares him unfavorably with every other Central American leader. The final page announces that the signers are joining the invasion of the country by Guatemala and its president Rafael Carrera, and defends their choice as one necessary to rid El Salvador of its liberal leader. The Guatemalan and conservative Salvadoran forces succeeded in ousting Barrios in October 1863, nine months after the printing of this document. Very scarce, OCLC locates just one copy, at the National Library of Chile.
