1773 Early BOSTON Bible Psalms of David Tate & Brady Americana Isaac Watts Hymns

1773 Early BOSTON Bible Psalms of David Tate & Brady Americana Isaac Watts Hymns

A rare, 18^th-century printing of the Psalms of David set to music. This 1773 printing includes the Psalms but also numerous other hymns commonly sung in churches in the Church of England.

Nahum Tate and Nicholas Brady together produced only this one famous work. It was a metrical version of the Psalms, which, shortly after its premier in 1696, ousted the older version of the metrical Psalms by Sternhold and Hopkins. This book is often just referred to as ‘Tate and Brady.’

This particular issue was published in Boston – a very rare, early American printing of Tate and Brady’s Psalms.
