In the evening tried over a new volume of Latrobe’s sacred music which Mrs. Bowles had lent me. Not so much beauty, I fear, as in the other.

Notes

Christian Ignatius Latrobe (1758-1836), a minister in the Moravian Church, compiled a six-volume 'Selection of Sacred Music' (London, 1806-26), which introduced to the British public the church music of mainly Catholic European composers such as Graun, Hasse, Pergolesi, Haydn and Mozart.
