1 sheet 23 x 15 cm. The program consisted of the Cornell Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Karel Husa, performing Debussy's Prelude: L'Après-midi d'un Faune; Glazunov's Violin Concerto in A Minor with Sheldon Kurland on violin; J.S. Bach's Brandenburg Concerto no. 2, featuring Adolf Scherbaum on trumpet, William Browder on flute, Theodore Lowi on oboe, and Sheldon Kurland on violin; Mozart's Symphony no. 31; and an excerpt from Smetana's Ma Vlast. Scherbaum's signature is in blue across the upper part of the program. Trumpeter Adolf Scherbaum played an important role in the revival of the Baroque trumpet. On this program he played the piece with which he was most associated, the second Brandenburg Concerto. The following year Sheldon Kurland moved to Nashville, where he became a session musician who worked on recording sessions for many country music stars. The flute in the Brandenburg was played by prominent mathematician William Browder, who was at the time Cornell University associate professor of mathematics. The oboe was played by Cornell professor of political science Theodore Lowi. In Very Good Condition: one vertical crease through the middle; clean and intact.

Title continued: "with an easy morning service in F consisting of Te Deum and Benedictus." Copyright 1858. vii, [1], 7-203 p.: music; 26 x 32 cm. Original black leather spine with black pebble-grain cloth over boards. Gilt-stamped cover title: Cathedral Chants. Blind-ruled borders on both boards. All page edges red. Yellow endpapers with publisher's advertisements running in portrait orientation. Blank leaf following front free endpaper inscribed: "Mrs. Millett, Christmas 1869" with additional calligraphic embellishment. Below the copyright statement is "Note to the Explanatory Remarks," which begins "Since the publication of the first edition of this work." The advertisements on the endpapers include C.H. Ditson & Co., New York, which was established by Oliver Ditson's son in 1867. These facts indicate that, in spite of the copyright statement, this was issued in 1867, 1868, or 1869. The only change was probably the addition of the Note, in which Tuckerman explains that the capitalized words were meant to be prolonged, rather than emphasized. An American organist and composer, Samuel Parkman Tuckerman (1819-1890) spent much of his adult life in Europe, and it was during seven years in England that he drew many of these chants from material he found in English cathedrals. Scarce. In Good+ Condition: leather at ends of spine lacking; remaining leather on spine is rubbed; edges and corners of boards rubbed; a few corners creased; a few marginal pencilled notations; otherwise clean and solid.
