First Publication. 1719
Librettist Thomas D'Urfey (1653-1723)
Language English; Italian; French
Composer Time PeriodComp. Period Baroque
Piece Style Baroque
Instrumentation 1-3 voices (many songs written and published elsewhere with a continuo bassline, which is omitted in this collection)

Navigation etc.

"In 1719 Thomas D'Urfey reordered and added to Wit and Mirth, or Pills to Purge Melancholy to produce a new edition (also in 5 volumes) with the title Songs Compleat, Pleasant and Divertive, published by Jacob Tonson. Volumes I and II now consisted entirely of songs with words by D'Urfey, "Set to Musick by Dr. John Blow, Mr. Henry Purcell, and other excellent masters of the town". The edition sold out quickly and in the second printing D'Urfey reverted to the Pills title." (Wikipedia)

A majority of these songs have no composer attribution, often being titled "A Song/A New Song" or something similar. It cannot be assumed that D'Urfey wrote every non-attributed song. The contents listing above is an attempt to match pieces to composers wherever possible. Quite a few of these songs are traditional English/Scottish/Irish tunes set to words by D'Urfey, or songs from D'Urfey's plays, many of which have little surviving information.

Named composers: John Blow, Henry Purcell, Daniel Purcell, Arcangelo Corelli (arranged), John Christopher Pepusch, Richard Leveridge, William Corbett, Ralph Courtivill (Raphael Courteville), John Eccles, William Croft, Jean-Baptiste Lully, Jeremiah Clarke, John Weldon, Samuel Akeroyde, Thomas D'Urfey, Mr Eales (probably mistake for Mr Eagles, i.e. Eccles), Mr Hendell (George Frideric Handel), St Germain, John Lenton, William Turner, Senior Baptist (probably Giovanni Battista Draghi), "a man of quality", Thomas Farmer, Mr Peasible (James Paisible), John Barrett, Colonel (Simon) Pack, Mr J. C. (probably Jeremiah Clarke), Gottfried Finger

The King's Health (Vol.2, p.152), and Royal Ode (Vol.2, p.157) are set to Farinel's Ground, i.e. La Folia. Volume 2 also includes "In the Fields in Frost and Snows," the earliest variant of "Old MacDonald Had a Farm."
