Yes, I think they may have just defaulted to the book order because they didn't have dates for those two tunes. I originally thought the 1991 edition was going by book order for all of the "first" and "second" labels, but when I looked closer, I decided the intent was for older to be "first" and younger to be "second". I believe, unless I overlooked something, that the two PLEYEL'S HYMNs will be the only exception to that rule.His glories sing,Robert VaughnMount Enterprise, TXAsk for the old paths, where is the good wayFor ask now of the days that are past...Give ear, all ye inhabitants of the land.

Robert, as I indicated in my recent post, PLEYEL'S HYMN (Second) [517T] in the 1991 edition is actually the older of the two hymn tunes. Anyway, note that the 1991 ed. does not give a date for either PLEYEL'S HYMN, so I don't think we can say that the order of First and Second was based on the age of the tune. I think in this case it's simply based on the order they appear in the book.WadeWade KotterSouth Ogden, UT"Make a Joyful Noise Unto the Lord"

Leland, just a couple more comments. The Pleyel's Hymn (now called second in the Denson book, on 523) was added back to the book in 1966, when it then still had the name Pleyel's Hymn.I glanced through the index of the 1991 edition. It appears that the intent of their use of first and second is for first to designate the older tune and second the later of the two. (In one case there is a first, second and third).His glories sing,

Let me add some more detail to Robert's excellent answer. The tune on page 523 in the 1991 edition first appeared around 1790 in two English sources; one called it GERMAN HYMN and the other called it simply PLEYEL. It's an anonymous adaptation from the Andante movement of Ignace Pleyel's String Quartet in G Major from 1788. Pleyel had nothing to do with this theme from his string quartet being turned into a hymn tune. In the early to mid 19th century in both England and America, it was most commonly called GERMAN HYMN, but it was also known as PLEYEL, PLEYEL'S HYMN, and a few other names. In a few tune books where both tunes appeared, the one now on p. 523 in the 1991 ed. was named PLEYEL's HYMN (or sometimes PLEYEL'S HYMN FIRST) and the other tune (the one on p. 143) was named PLEYEL'S HYMN SECOND. However, the tune originally named GERMAN HYMN did not appear in the 1844 first edition of The Sacred Harp. It was added on p. 317T as PLEYEL'S HYMN without a qualifier in the 1850 2nd edition.The tune known as PLEYEL'S HYMN (First) in the 1991 ed. and PLEYEL'S HYMN SECOND in the Cooper book, in both cases on p. 143, is another anonymous adaptation of instrumental music by Pleyel, this time the Andante grazioso movement from Pleyel's Symphonie Concertante in E-Flat, published in 1786. This hymn tune first appeared in an 1810 English collection under the name HYMN 4. Over the years it was printed under a number of other names, such as BRATTLE STREET, PLEYEL'S PS. 2, and also PLEYEL'S HYMN SECOND. It was this name that White & King used when they put it on p. 143 of the 1844 first edition of The Sacred Harp; I presume this means that their source was one of the earlier collections that called it by this name. So, rather oddly, the only hymn tune adapted from music by Pleyel in the 1844 edition is called PLEYEL'S HYMN SECOND; this name apparently stuck in the Cooper book but was changed to PLEYEL'S HYMN (First) in 1991 to distinguish it from the tune on p. 523. Perhaps White & King thought that the word SECOND in PLEYEL'S HYMN SECOND was actually part of the name on the tune and not simply a way of distinguishing it from the other hymn tune adapted from Playel's instrumental music.WadeWade KotterSouth Ogden, UT"Make a Joyful Noise Unto the Lord"

Leland, I don't know the original naming of the tunes, and I don't have all my Sacred Harp books in one place so can't look at all of them; but I can give you a little information.Pleyel's Hymn Second as found in the Cooper Book follows the original naming that B. F. White had in the first editions of The Sacred Harp. In 1860 Pleyel's Hymn Second is on page 143, Pleyel's Hymn (without any modifier) is on page 317 (top). In 1902 Cooper kept the second and dropped the other one. In 1911 J. S. James kept them both, with the names Pleyel's Hymn (Second) on 143 and Pleyel's Hymn on 317t. Based on where the now so-called Pleyel's Hymn Second is located in the 1991 edition, I'd offer the following guess. The song on 317 was probably dropped in 1936 and added back later. When it was added back the editors probably followed a different naming convention than what was used by White -- putting "First" with the song that appeared first in the book and "Second" with the one that followed later.His glories sing,

Why is it that Denson has two completely different tunes called Pleyel's Hymn, whereas Cooper has only one, but the one it has it calls Pleyel's Hymn Second even though it is the one that Denson calls "Pleyel's Hymn (First)"???--

I don't have a copy to look at right now, but I believe my memory may work on this one. The first half of the tune should roughly match CORONATION (p. 63 in the SH) set in a tempo like PLEYEL'S HYMN SECOND (the one we call Second in the Cooper Book, p. 143 in both books). Then I think it has a chorus that is my own concoction. If it doesn't follow that pattern, then my memory is off and I will have to look it up.Hope this helps!Robert VaughnMount Enterprise, TXAsk for the old paths, where is the good wayFor ask now of the days that are past...Give ear, all ye inhabitants of the land.

Robert, I just noticed that the tune on page 23 of that set of photocopied, handwritten songs from your church that you sent me, JESUS NAME C.M., you describe as "Pleyel's Coronation, C.M. with Refrain / Arranged RLV, Aug. 21, 1980"... do you recall your source for the tune? It doesn't appear to be among the eleven tunes listed under Pleyel at hymnary.org.Leland
