London. July 19. On Wednesday Evening at about 8. the King took Water at Whitehall in an open Barge, wherein were also the Dutchess of Bolton, the Dutchess of Newcastle, the Countess of Godolphin, Madam Kilmanseck, and the Earl of Orkney. And went up the River towards Chelsea. Many other Barges with Persons of Quality attended, and so great a Number of Boats, that the whole River in a manner was cover’d; a City Company’s Barge was employ’d for the Musick, wherein were 50 Instruments of all sorts, who play’d all the Way from Lambeth (while the Barges drove with the Tide without Rowing, as far as Chelsea) the finest Symphonies, compos’d express for this Occasion, by Mr. Hendel; which his Majesty liked so well, that he caus’d it to be plaid over three times in going and returning. At Eleven his Majesty went a-shoar at Chelsea, where a Supper was prepar’d, and then there was another very fine Consort of Musick, which lasted till 2; after which, his Majesty came again into his Barge, and return’d the same Way, the Musick continuing to play till he landed.[19] |
|
On Wednesday the 17th of July, in the Evening, the King, attended by their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess of Wales, and a numerous Train of Lords, Gentlemen, and Ladies, went up by Water to Chelsea, and was entertain’d with an excellent Consort of Musick by Count Kilmanseck; after which, His Majesty and their Royal Highnesses supp’d at the Lady Catherine Jones’s, at the House of the late Earl of Ranelagh’s; and about Three a Clock in the Morning, return’d by Water to Whitehall, and thence to St. James’s Palace.[20] |

Il y a quelques semaines que le roi témoigna au baron de Kilmanseck le désir qu’il aurait d’avoir un concert de musique sur la rivière, par souscription, comme ont été les mascarades cet hiver, où le roi s’est rendu assidument chaque fois. Ce baron s’adressa pour cela à Heidecker, suisse de nation, mais le plus intelligent agent que la noblesse ait pour ses plaisirs. Celui-ci répondit que quelque envie qu’il eût de complaire à S.M., il devait réserver les souscriptions pour les grands coups, savoir pour les mascarades, dont chacune vaut, tous fraix faits, 3/400 guinées. M. de Kilmanseck, voyant S. M. chagrinée de ces difficultées, se chargea de lui donner ce concert sur la rivière à ses dépens. Et làdessus ayant donné tous les ordres nécessaires, cette fête eut lieu avant hier. Le roi se rendit vers les 8 heures du soir dans sa barge [sic], où furent admises la duchessse de Bolton, la comtesse de Godolphin, Md. de Kilmanseck, Md. Were, et le comte d’Orkney, le gentilhomme da sa Chambre de lit qui était de garde. A côté de la barge du roi était celle des musiciens, au nombre de 50 qui jouèrent de toute sorte d’instruments, savoir des trompettes, des cors de chasse, des haut bois, des bassons, des flutes allemandes, des flutes françaises à bec, des violons et des basses, mais sans voix. Ce concert avait été composé exprès par le fameux Handel, natif de Halle, et premier compositeur de la musique du roi. Elle fut si fort approuvée par S. M., qu’Elle la fit répéter par trois fois, quoique’elle durât une heure [à] chaque reprise, savoir deux fois avant et une fois après le souper. La soirée était à souhait pour cette fête, le nombre des barges et surtout celui des bateaux remplis du monde qui voulurent y participer était sans nombre. Afin de rendre cette fête plus accomplie, Md. de Kilmanseck fut ménager un souper délicat dans la maison de plaisance du feu [–] comte de Ranelagh à Chelsea sur la rivière, où le roi se rendit à une heure après minuit, il en sortit à trois, et dur les quatre heures et demie du matin, S. M. fut de retour à St. James. Ce concert a coúuté 150£ au baron de Kilmanseck pour les musiciens seuls, mais ni le Prince ni la Princesse n’ont eu aucune part à cette fête.[21] |
A few weeks ago the King expressed to Baron Kilmanseck His desire to have a concert on the river, by subscription, similar to the masquerades this winter which the King never failed to attend. The Baron accordingly applied to Heidecker,—a Swiss by origin, but the cleverest purveyor of entertainments to the Nobility. The latter replied that, much as he would wish to comply with His Majesty’s desires, he must reserve subscriptions for the great events, namely the masquerades, each of which brings him in three or 400 guineas net. Observing His Majesty’s chagrin at these difficulties, M. de Kilmanseck undertook to provide the concert on the river at his own expense The necessary orders were given and the entertainment took place the day before yesterday. About eight in the evening the King repaired to His barge, into which were admitted the Duchess of Bolton, Countess Godolphin, Mad. de Kilmanseck, Mrs. Were and the Earl of Orkney, the Gentleman of the Bedchamber in Waiting. Next to the King’s barge was that of the musicians, about 50 in number, who played on all kinds of instruments, to wit trumpets, horns, hautboys, bassoons, German flutes, French flutes, violins and basses; but there were no singers. The music had been composed specially by the famous Handel, a native of Halle, and His Majesty’s principal Court Composer. His Majesty approved of it so greatly that he caused it to be repeated three times in all, although each performance lasted an hour—namely twice before and once after supper. The [weather in the] evening was all that could be desired for the festivity, the number of barges and above all of boats filled with people desirous of hearing was beyond counting. In order to make this entertainment the more exquisite, Mad. de Kilmanseck had arranged a choice supper in the late Lord Ranelagh’s villa at Chelsea on the river, where the King went at one in the morning. He left at three o’clock and returned to St. James’ about half past four. The concert cost Baron Kilmanseck £150 for the musicians alone. Neither the Prince nor the Princess [of Wales] took any part in this festivity.[22] |

Das beschützte Orchestre Den … Herrn Capell-Meistern Directoribus Musices, Welt- und weit-berühmten teutschen Melothetis: … Herrn Georg Friderich Hendel Königl. GroßBritannischen und Chur-Braunschweig-Lüneburgischen Capellmeister … Meinen sonders Hochgeehrten Herrn und erwehlten Arbitris. … Aus der Frechheit aber mit welcher der Opponens davon [dem General-Bass] spricht solte man bald schliessen er bilde sich ein derjenige eintzige zu seyn den ich p. 65. des [Neu-Eröffneten] Orchestre ausgenommen habe. Aber ich rede daselbst von solchen Künstlern die mir bekannt sind; weil ich nun die Ehre nicht habe den Herrn Organisten und seine Stärcke im Accompagnement oder General-Baß zu kennen so kan er versichert seyn daß ich ihn nicht sondern den Herrn Capellmeister Hendel gemeynet habe.[23] |
The Orchestra Defended (Dedication.) To … the Capell-Meistern, Directoribus Musices, world- and far-renowned German Melothetis … Herr Georg Friderich Hendel,
Capell-Meister to the King of Great Britain and to the Elector of
Brunswick-Lüneburg.… My especially esteemed gentlemen and chosen Arbitris. (Text.) … From the audacity, however, with which the Opponens speaks of it [the Thorough Bass], one could readily conclude that he fancies himself to be that single exception which I have mentioned on p. 65 of the [Neu-Eröffnete] Orchestre. But in that place I speak of such artists as are known to me; since I have·not at present the honour of knowing the organist gentleman and his power in Accompagnement, or Thorough Bass, he can be assured that I meant not him but the Capell-Meister Hendel.[24] |

[Thomas Tudway to Humfrey Wanley, 16 December 1717] I thank you very kindly for Mr Rosengraves peice, wch my Ld deliver’d to me; The Artfull part is very fine, & he has show’d himself, a great Master, but for want I beleive, of being us’d to set Church Music, He keeps too theatrical a style, And intro- duces, in most places, his words, wth very great Levetees; I shall better explain my self, when I have ye happines of an hours conversation; This is also Mr Hendals fault, if I may be permitted to call it so; Mr Purcell I think keeps a Nobler, & more Elevated style, quite through his Te Deum, & Jubilate, & has not so much of ye flutter &c. I have began ye 5th volume, And think his Te Deum, & Jubilate deserves ye preference, before all others; wch I have given him, not- wthstanding he is no living Author, But his Te Deum &c being made against ye opening of St Pauls Church, & it being sung then accordingly I have set it in ye Front;[31] |
