"John Aitken's A compilation of the litanies and vespers, hymns and anthems as they are sung in the Catholic Church, adapted to the voice or organ was published in Philadelphia in 1787 and again in a revised edition in 1791.... The six anthems in this new edition are all found in the 1787 edition, where they appeared with soprano and bass parts only. In the 1791 edition, however, an alto part was added, and it is from this version that the present selections were prepared."--Preface, page [i]. |
