GOUDIMEL GOUDIMEL 207
de Besanijon. Par Jean de Tournes, impiimeur
du roy k Lyon, 1586.'
One composition, 'Par le desert de mes peines'
for four voices, rather unexpectedly appears in a
quaint little book entitled : Instmctimi methodique
et furt fcuilr, pour apprendre la miisique
pradique, par Corneille de Montfort, dit de
Blockland, 1587, Jean de Tournes a Lyon. The
explanation is given by
' I'impriineur au lecteur,
' Voyant qu'i la fin de ce petit traiote y avoit
quelques pages blanches, j'en ay voulu reniplir
une partie de la derniere chanson a quatre, qu'a
compose feu Claude Goudimel, I'un des premiers
musiciens de son temps,' etc.
A gi'eat number of psalm-books, each containing
from six to ten compositions by Goudimel,
were published in Paris, at first by Du
Chemin, but from 1557 onwards by Adr. Le
Eoy and Robt. Ballard. JL Brenet gives the
full title of the 1551 edition already alluded to :
' Premier livre, contenant huyct Pseaulmes de
David, traduictz par Clement Marot et mis en
musique au long (en forme de mottetz) par
Claude Goudimel ; dont aulcuns vers (pour la
commodite des musiciens) sont a trois, a quatre,
et a cinq parties, et aussi a voix pareilles, ' etc.
Later editions appeared in 1557 and 1565. The
' Tiers livre '
is of interest, as the dedication is
dated from Metz, June 20, 1557. The series
was concluded by the ' Huitiesme livre ' in
1566. Six psalms set to music by Goudimel
were included in ' Le second livre des pseaulmes
... en foriire de motetz par divers excellents
musiciens. De I'imprimerie de Simon Dn Boso
et Guillaume Gueroult,' 1555. The two books,
* du meslange des pseaumes et cantiques a trois
parties, recueillis de la musique d'Orlande de
Lassus et autres excellens musiciens de nostre
temps,' 1577, each contained two of Goudimel's
psalms. ' Cinquante pseaumes de David, avec
la musique a cinq parties d'Orl. de Lassus,
Vingt autres pseaumes a cinq et six parties par
divers excellents musiciens. De I'imprimerie
de Jorosme Commelin, 1597,' included 'A
toy 6 Dieu, qui es la-haut ' for six voices by
Goudimel.
The first complete psalter appeared in 1564 :
' Les CL. pseaumes de David, nouvellement mis
en musique a quatre parties par Claude Goudimel,
Paris, Adr. Le Roy et R. Ballard.' It was
Psalmen seine zuhorige vier Stimmen,' etc.
Its steady popularity was shown by the number
of reprints, in 1578, 1597, 1615, 1649, 1698,
etc. (see Doueii, vol. ii. ).
Goudimel's music is to be found in nearly all
the psalm-books published in various languages
during the 17th and 18tli centuries. For
instance, in those issued at Delft, 1602 ; Cha-
renton, 1607 ; (leiieva, 1667 and 1668 ; at
Hanau, 1612, with both tlie French and German
translations; at Zurich, 1701, 'Die Harpfe
des Konigs Davids . . . durch J. K. Hardmeyer
angestimmet dass sie sowol in denen gewonnlichen
Weisen des getreuen Miirtyrers CI.
Goudimels, als in denen neuen Gesaiigweisen
gesungen werden knnnen,' etc. Again the
French melodies are used in ' De CL. Psalmen
Davids . . .
'
door Petrum Dathenum : Amsterdam,
1620 ; in 'lis Psalms da David, suainter
la melodia francesa, . . . Lurainz Wietzel,'
1733 ; and in the Italian editions ' Li CL. sacri
Salmi di Davide . . . aceomodati alle melodie
di A. Lobwasser da And. G. Planta, ' 1740 ;
' and lis Psalmis de David, segond melodia de
A. Lobwasser,' 1762.
The music in the ' Vierter Theil der Arien
. . . ausgegeben von Hein. Alberten,' 1645;
No. 33, psalm 19 ; Siebender Theil, 1648 ;
No. 9, psalm 146 ; Achter Theil, 1650 ; No. 7,
psalm 125, is ' nach der AVeise
Goudimels.'
des beriimbten
There are five masses comptosed by Goudimel ;
Du Ghenrin, in 1554, published one, ' II ne se
trouve en amitie,' with four motets and two
magnificats (first printed in 1553) ; the four
others were published by Adr. Le Roy et R.
Ballard in 1558: ' Missae tres a Claudio
Goudimel . . . cum quatuor vocibus. Audi
/ilia. Tant j^lus ie metz. De mes ennuis.'
' Missae tres a CI. de Serniisy, Joanne Mallard,
Claudio Goudimel, cum quatuor vocibus conditae.
Le bicn que i'ay, CI. Goudimel.' The
last has been edited by M. Ch. Bordes : An-
ihologie des inaitrcs religieux primitifs, vol. ii.
p. 42, No. 9. There are modern MS. scores of
the five masses and of one magnificat in the
JIunich Library.

reissued in 1565. In both editions the dedication
is dated from Metz. An edition in one
volume was published at Geneva '

heritiers de Fran(;ois Jaqui, 1565 '

; a later
' edition, also printed at Geneva— par Pierre de
Saint- Andre, 1580'— was republished by M.
