John Broderip was perhaps the most prominent member of a dynasty of west country musicians. He was organist at Wells Cathedral (succeeding his father) and published psalmody and glees. This glee comes from his collection of six (Op. 5), c.1770; he also wrote glees in collaboration with Henry Harington, M.D. in Wells then Bath, and leading light of the Bath Harmonic Society.
Lyrics: Alexander Pope
By music, minds an equal temper know,
Nor swell too high, nor sink too low.
If in the breast tumultous joys arise,
Music her soft assuasive voice applies;
Or when the soul is press'd with cares
Exalts her in enliven'd airs.
Warriors she fires with animated sounds;
Pours balm into the bleeding lover's wounds;
Melancholy lifts her head,
Morpheus rouses from his bed,
Sloth unfolds her arms and wakes,
List'ning envy drops her snakes.
Intestine war no more our passions rage;
Ev'n giddy factions hear away their rage.
(Ode on St Cecilia's Day)
By music, minds an equal temper know,
Nor swell too high, nor sink too low.
If in the breast tumultous joys arise,
Music her soft assuasive voice applies;
Or when the soul is press'd with cares
Exalts her in enliven'd airs.
Warriors she fires with animated sounds;
Pours balm into the bleeding lover's wounds;
Melancholy lifts her head,
Morpheus rouses from his bed,
Sloth unfolds her arms and wakes,
List'ning envy drops her snakes.
Intestine war no more our passions rage;
Ev'n giddy factions hear away their rage.
(Ode on St Cecilia's Day)
