The
Austen Music |
|
|
| The
purpose of this website is to provide links to and information on
finding the music in the Austen music notebooks held by the Jane
Austen Memorial Trust. The music is presented alphabetically
by composer. See below for a table of links to the composer
pages. (Each composer page contains a copy of the same table.)
There is also an index of titles/first lines
listed numerically by GM number (see Abbreviations
page for explanation of GM number) and an alphabetic list
of composers. |
|
|
| For
much of the music listed here, a version may be found in the Lester
S. Levy Collection of Sheet Music. Where possible, the box
and item number from the Levy collection is given (the LV number).
For music for which there is a recent version published, information
is given about that publication. For some music (not in the Levy
collection and not published recently) other information is given
on where the music may be found. For some of this music, an arrangement
is (will be) included. |
|
|
| Some
of the music in the two collections of 'Scots Songs' can be found
in the 1733 publication Orpheus Caledonius, and for this music the
OC number is given. Links/information is also given if an online version
of the music is available. |

|
| For
some of the music, I include an arrangement, as a .pdf file that can
be downloaded and printed. All arrangements published on this
web site are Copyright © Joyce Donley. |

|
| Note
that only a portion of the music from the Austen notebooks is discussed/listed
on this website. For a complete list of composers and songs
in the collection held by the Jane Austen Memorial Trust, see the
book "Jane Austen's Music" by Gammie and MuCulloch. |

more information on "Jane Austen's Music", see Getting
Started. |
| Note
that some of the Austen family music books are not held by the Jane
Austen Memorial Trust and not currently available for study.
I will add a separate section to the music index for music I can identify
in this collection. |

The Innocent Diversion" by Patrick Piggott. |
