On the 4th of February, 1767, we learn from a note in a private diary kept by Mr. Mawhood that he "call'd on Dr. Arne and Mic. Arne, and was at the Madrigal"; probably the Arnes accompanied him. On the 4th of April Mr. Mawhood attended "Mrs. Arne's and Mr. Pemberton's Benefit: took 3 Pit tickets at 3s. each"; on the 9th of May he "was at Dr. Arne's and heard y^{e} Catches perform^{d}"; on the 29th of December "Perform^{d} Dr. Arne's mass at Church." On the 12th of May, 1767, Arne conducted a concert of Catches and Glees at Ranelagh House, described in the _Gentleman's Magazine_ as the first of the kind. In the following year, 1768, a second vocal concert was given by Arne at Drury Lane Theatre; for the occasion a book of the words was published, with explanatory notes, probably the earliest example of an annotated programme book. The title is, "The words of the favourite Catches and Glees which, with the elegant and humorous music, composed by the most eminent masters of the last and present age, will be performed at the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane, on Tuesday, the twenty-first of this instant June, by a considerable number of the best vocal and instrumental performers. The Choral and Instrumental parts are added, to give the Catches and Glees their proper effect, being composed, for that purpose, by Dr. Arne. This performance (the second of the kind ever publicly exhibited in this or any Kingdom) is introduced at the desire of many persons of quality, lovers and encouragers of good harmony and inoffensive humour. London, printed in the year MDCCLXVIII." There is a preface to the book explaining what is a Catch and what a Glee. Arne wrote, "these kinds of entertainment (in the time of Mr. Henry Purcell) were so much in fashion, that in most polite families, after dinner and supper, it was a custom to lay the choicest collections of Catches and Glees on the table, and thought a deficiency of education in those, who could not readily perform a part." The concert commenced with a New Grand Overture by Dr. Arne, and was succeeded by a Catch of his composition, "The family quarrel," which "gained a golden prize-medal in the year 1764." Next came a Glee composed by Mr. Norris, an "Elegiac on the death of his late Royal Highness the Duke of Cumberland." The words of this are: O'er William's tomb, with love and grief opprest, Britannia mourns her hero, now at rest; Not tears alone; but praises too she gives, Due to the guardian of our laws and lives; Nor shall that laurel ever fade with years Whose leaves are water'd with a nation's tears. Those who are acquainted with Braham's popular song, "The death of Nelson," will recognize the unacknowledged annexation of the above lines by Mr. S. J. Arnold, who is credited with the authorship of the words.
