PREFACE.
Ingenious <!{eaders, and TraBitioners ;

HIS Book is intended for the Uje y

Benefit, and Education of all Man-
kind in general, and includes the
greateft Scope of Moral-PhilosO-
PHY in the known World 5 regulating the Man-
ners and BehaYwurs of: Men, in all their refpe&ive
"Duties, both to God and their Neighbours.

King Solomon, the Son of VaYid, the Original

Author of this Book, in his firft Chapter, and
fourth Verfe, giveth his Readers a lively De-
fcription of the life of his Royal Proverbs 5
which Words ( according to my Tranflation,)
are thus
They Wtfdom to the Simple give,
That fuch may know it right :

To Young Men Knowledge is convey'd,

Again,
 the PREFACE.
Again, in Chapter the 6th, Vcrfe the 20th,
he humbly cxhortcth his Son (meaning all his
Succeflors, ) to true obedience of Heart, as thus:

My Son, thy Father's Counsel take,

Thy Mother s Law embrace :

And bind mod firrr.l/ to thy Heart,

Such Ornaments of Grace, &c.
Jt would be needlefs to fliew any more Proofs
to declare the Excellency and life of this Book,
by reafon the real Matter itlelf will decide all
Controverfies that can be made againft it.
A3 to the Verse itfelf, it is JJ?ortand eafy$
and is done in fuch a Meafure as was defired
by many Ingenious Perfons, ( who greatly im-
portuned me to compleat this Work ; ) an-
swering its Original Profe, as near as poflible.
Moreover, to Illuftrate the Whole, I have
adapted fliort and eafy Expofit'wnal-Kotes oppofite
each Verje-, Explicating fuch Obfcurities, as were
not before tranfparent to every Capacity.
Secondly, To render this Worl^ more compleat,
I have fet the fame to Musick, Compofed
in Two, Three, and Four Mufical Tarts, in
Score, for Voice, or Inftrument 5 Together with
The Song of Solomon ; alfo various Hymns,
Anthems, and Canons on feveral Occah-
cms : With proper Infirncllons thereunto : Which

I doubt not but that many in this Critick
Age, will Employ their Criticifm on the follow-
ing Verfcj who are doubtlefs better able to
have done this JFor^than myfelf But if what :

I have here endeavoured, doth not comport with

the Dictates of their Judgment, I hope they

will confider Me
( Mijerum, ) thatwas thruft

into the World in the midft of an Em-

ployment to which I am always Bow'd by
a daily and tedious Attendance.
Finally, I heartily recommend Wor^ to
this
all Chriftian Families, for their Godly Solace
and Comjort in their own Houfes 5 hoping it may
meet with a candid Reception even by All 5

Compendious INTRODUCTION,

Rudiments of Mil lick.

By Mr. William Tans'ur.

NE V ER
can it be imagin'd that any Part of this
moll noble Science of Musick, can ever be rightly un-
derftood, or perform'd, unlefs the Performer be truly
grounded in the Gamut-rules, and all other Branch-
es thereunto belonging tho' many flatter themfelves
-,

on the contrary But let me allure fuch Perfons, they are very
:

much in the Dark, and ever will ; neither will they ever attain to
the true Performance of any Part, or LeJJon, no otherways than
as they hear it from others Nor can they be able to regain what
:

they have forgot, or loft, without the Aftiftance of fome Perfon

to teach them the fame again.
But thofe who endeavour to qualify themfelves in the Grounds
and Principles of this Art, may be able to perform any Part what-
foever contain'd therein and alfo very nearly at the very firfh
•,

Infpection, if they be thoroughly grounded therein Neither :

will they ever forget any Thing whilft they are in Practice But :

be able to learn, and perform any Lejfon without the Affiftance

of others. Thofe who endeavour to be qualified therein, may be
herein aflifted by the following Rules, which are done in a Uew
and eafy Method Being Compendioufly explicated in the five
:

included Seclicns, viz,

§ I. Of the Gamut, and of Cliffs and their Ufe.
:

§ II. Of the Names of the Notes, &c. And of other Cha-

racters ufed in Mufick.
§ III. Of Time, in its fevcral Moods. ,

§ IV. Of Keys, and of Tranjpofition.

§ V. Ofthefeveral Concords, and Discords : And how
jto compare one Part of Mufick with another.

§ IV. Of the feveral Keys: And of Tranfpofition.

TH E R E are but two Natural Keys in Mufick^ viz. A, the

Natural Flat-Key \ and C, the Natural Sharp-Key \ all other
artificial Keys being brought to the fame Effect, by adding either

Flats or Sharps at the Beginning of the five Lines which Flats ox: -,

Sharps tranfpofe the Mi to be either next under, or next over the

Key-Note ; (which is the laft Note of the Bajs) which Key is known
to be either Flat, or Sharp, by the firfl Third next above the faid
Key-Note \ For if the Third includes but 3 Semitones (which is
the Flat-Tlnrd, as A, the Natural Rat-Key ;) then the 7#/#, or
Key, is faid to be Flat. But if the 5F&£r^ includes 4 Semitones,
(which is the Sharp-Third, as C, the Natural Sharp-Key then •,)

the Tune , or i£?y is faid to be 6VW^> ; in any Cliff whatfoever.

But the better to explain what I have faid, I will give you

An Example of the 7 fever al Keys, both Flat and Sharp ; in

the G Cliff.

The 12 Artificial Keys as before, are made conformable to the 2

ffatural ones by Tranjpqfing the M/, (which is the

Note,) cither by 77rf/j, or by Sharps and afterwards founding \

your Key either next above, or next below it, £5

created Difficulty lies in the regular placing the Flats, and

on which I fhall add the following Inftrucnons. If the —

So by this Method it may go thro' the whole Syftetn of

is then Mi ; the 2d Sharp muft be on C, a 5th above the Former,

Into the Region of blefl Light :

And count them all but fading Toys.

Such Things IM1 weigh within thy Sight,

Which are but Trifles of Delight.

The Trouble's great, fuch Things to gain :

BeThou my Aid, thy Praise I'll Sing,

And I am Greater than a King.

Was I poiTefs'd of all I fee,

Nothing could five my Soul, but Thez i

As the Soul aids the Body here,

So to my Soul thou doft appear.
