WITH EARLY HORN.AKA - "With early horn salute the morn. "English, Air (6/8 time). G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). One part. "With Early Horn" is a song that launched the career of teenage tenor wikipedia:John_Beard_(tenor) (c. 1716-1791, an ex-chorister from the Chapel Royal) after it was sung by him at the Theatre-Royal in Covent Garden, in 1734. Beard later managed the theatre from 1761-1774. The music of the song was written by German composer Johann (AKA John Ernest) Galliard (1686/87-1747) with a libretto by [Ambrose?] Phillips, and was part of a production called The Royal Chace which premiered in January, 1736, at Covent Garden Theatre, performed as an afterpiece to The Distressed Mother. The Royal Chace was an updating of Jupiter and Europa (originally staged in 1723 at Lincoln’s Inn Fields, London).
With early horn, salute the morn,
That gilds this charming place;
With cheerful cries, bid echo rise,
And join the jovial chace.
The vocal hills around,
The waving woods,
The crystal floods,
All return th' enliv'ning found.
"With Early Horn" was also entered in the music copybook of Welsh fiddler John Thomas, dated 1752.
