AN ODE, confifting of Strophe, Antiftrophe, and Epode, antient Greek and Ruffian, made in 17792. in honour of THE EMPRESS, THE GREAT DUKE and DUCHESS, and ALEXANDER and CONSTANTINE, their two Sons, Grandfons to the Empress. This Ode was fung in the Original Greek by a large number of Voices, before a numerous and fplendid Court in one of the Imperial Palaces. As I have a Copy of this Mufic, I cannot omit obferving, that it is a genuine Exemplar of the Antient ANTIPHONA, fo well known to the Church in very remote ages. On this Plan two complete Choirs (each confifting of Trebles, Counters, Tenors, and Bases) fing against each other, and reciprocally answer; then unite all of them; then feparate again, returning to the alternate Refponfe, till the Whole at length concludes in one general Chorus. The Mufic of this Ode may be called purely Vocal, having no other accompanyment but that of an Organ. The Compofer was no lefs a man than the celebrated PAESIELLO, fo well known at prefent, and fo much admired, both in Italy and elsewhere, for Mufic of a very different Character, I mean his truly natural, and pleafing Burlettas. Thofe, Those, who are curious to know more of this Species of Mufic, may confult the valuable Gloffary of SPELMAN, under the word ANTIPHONA, and the ingenious Mufical Dictionary of ROUSSEAU, under the Word ANTIENNE. 11. A fhort Copy of Greek Elegiac Verses, printed at Petersburgh, in the year 1780, and addreft to Prince POTEMKIN, with this fingular Title, Επίγραμμα ἐπὶ τῆς παμφαῖς καὶ χαρμοσύνη ΓΟΡΓΕΙΟΦΟΡΙΑΣ, τῆς κοινοτέρως ΜΑΣΚΑΡΑΔΟΣ και λυμένης, ἣν και το λο Thus Englished-A Poem, on the fplendid and delightful FESTIVITY, WHERE THEY WEAR GORGONIAN VISORS; more commonly called A MASQUERADE; which Prince POTEMKIN celebrated &c. &c. A better Word to denote A MASQUERADE Could hardly have been invented, than the Word here employed, Topyopógia. In attempting to tranflate it, that I might exprefs ONE Word, I have been compelled to use many. 12. A TRANSLATION of Virgil's Georgics from the Latin Hexameters into GREEK HEXAMETERS, by the celebrated EUGENIUS, famous for his Treatife of Logic, published a few years fince in antient Greek at Leipfic. He was made an Archbishop, but chofe to refign his dignity. He is now carrying on this Translation under the protection of Prince Potemkin, but 004 has bas as yet gone no farther, than to the end of the Flyt Gargil The Work is printed on a large Folio Paper, having the Orginal on one fide, and the Translation on the aber.
