  • Descrição: Matthew Dubourg (1703–1767) is today mostly remembered as the virtuoso violinist who led the band of musicians for the premiere of Handel's oratorio Messiah in Dublin in April 1742. The order of the movements as they are bound across these four volumes is haphazard, and further complicated by the composer's reuse of movements or ‘self-borrowing’; much work remains to be done to identify and date the ode movements for their inclusion in a catalogue of Dubourg's works (Estelle Murphy, The Works of Matthew Dubourg: A Thematic Catalogue (forthcoming)). Burney states ‘the odes which [Dubourg] set for Ireland, and innumerable solos [sonatas] and concertos which he composed for his own public performance, are now in the possession of one of his disciples, and of some of them the composition is excellent’ (Charles Burney, A General History of Music From the Earliest Ages to the Present Period, four volumes, volume 4 (London: author, 1789), 651). A primary difference between the concerto as it appears in the ‘Dubourg’ manuscript and in Select Harmony is that it has been expanded to seven parts and reworked as a concerto grosso for the publication (for further description of the parts and the differences between the manuscript and published sources see my ‘Matthew Dubourg's Violin Concerto: A Case of Mistaken Identity’, Handel Institute Newsletter 34/1 (2023), 10–13).
