Hodges Family Collection, circa 1790-circa 1909

Title: Hodges Family Collection circa 1790-circa 1909

The collection contains manuscript and printed music, writings, and other materials compiled and collected by Edward Hodges and subsequently by his son, John Sebastian Bach Hodges. Noteworthy among Edward Hodges' writings are the Annuary, an attempt in later life to depict his earlier life, and documents relating to the design and construction of the 1846 Erben organ at Trinity Church in New York. Music scores and sketches of the collection may well be the largest extant source of Hodges' manuscript music, including both original music and transcriptions and arrangements of the works of others, mostly intended for performance during religious services. In addition, the collection includes manuscript and printed scores for the works of two of Edward Hodges' children, Faustina Hasse Hodges and John Sebastian Bach Hodges. Sacred music in the collection not composed by Hodges family members provides insight into the kind of music that was typically performed in Episcopal churches in this country during the 19th and early 20th centuries: chants, psalm and hymn tunes, litanies, introits, offertories, oratorios, etc. Especially interesting are the Breitkopf & Härtel publications of Haydn's from 1801 and an early publication of Beethoven's . Among the scores of secular music, John Stafford Smith's (London, 1812), an anthology of music from the 13th through the 18th centuries, is particularly noteworthy, as is by Etienne Méhul. The collection also includes sixteen volumes of late 18th and 19th century sheet music that were presumably compiled by one or more members of the Hodges family.

Wesley, John, 1703-1791. John Wesley family papers, 1734-1864.

Title: John Wesley family papers, 1734-1864.

The collection consists of materials relating to John Wesley and the Wesley family from 1734-1864. The materials include correspondence, writings, and photographs and other images of Wesley. The correspondence of John Wesley pertains to church business and theology. The correspondence of Sarah Wesley (b. 1760) is with family and friends (mostly with her mother, Sarah G. Wesley, and her brother, Samuel Wesley) and pertains to family activities, travel, and beliefs. Correspondence (1779-1780) of Methodists Joseph and Sarah T. Benson details their courtship. A later addition of correspondence between Charles Wesley and organist John Langshaw, pertains to Methodism, the American Revolution, and London musicians and music teachers. The collection also includes three of John Wesley's diaries. The original 1736 diary documents part of his trip to Georgia (1735-1738) with his brother Charles, and is written partially in the cipher they sometimes used in their letters. The other two diaries are photocopies of the 1735 and 1737 volumes held by Methodist Archives in London. Other materials include Sarah Wesley's personal writings, Sarah G. Wesley's poetic psalms, sermons of John Wesley, a Wesley family genealogy, and music manuscripts. Photographs and other pictures are of Wesley memorabilia, and drawings, paintings, and sculpture of the Wesleys.
