General information
Publication
John Valentine's Thirty Psalm Tunes was published in 1784: while the book is not dated, publication was entered at Stationers Hall on 20 September that year. The book was 'Printed for the Author by Messrs Longman and Broderip No 26 Cheapside & No 13 Hay Market Where they may be had. likewise at most other musical Shops in Town and Country, and of the Author at his House in Belgrave Gate Leicester'. The title page describes the work as Valentine's 'Opera 7'.
Description of contents
The collection was published by subscription, and the musical contents are prefaced by a 4-page list of subscribers.
The music consists of settings of metrical versions of the first thirty psalms: for Psalms 1-10 and 21-30, the Old Version texts are used, while for Psalms 11-20, the New Version is set. While all the settings are sufficiently short that they are classified as 'tunes' by the Hymn Tune Index, in three cases (Psalms 18, 22 and 30) the setting of four verses with key, tempo or voicing changes part-way through suggests that these might have been intended as short set-pieces, rather than as strophic psalm-tunes.
The music is laid out in full score. The treble clef is used for soprano and tenor parts, while the alto part is given in the alto clef. Voicing directions where the texture is thinned to duets (including an example in the first piece in the book, Ps. 1 on p2) indicate that the topmost stave carries the soprano part, while the third line down is the tenor part). An instrumental bass part is given throughout: this is unfigured, and is marked 'Bassoon' part-way through the setting of Ps. 13 on p21. The vocal bass part to Ps. 1 is figured, but this practice is not followed elsewhere in the book.
