orpheoreon family. The player probably tuned as he chose. The forms 'Orpharion' and 'Pandora' occur in a book on the Lute and other instruments, entitled 'The Schoole of Musicke,' by Thomas Robinson, London, 1603. A copy is in the British Museum. There is another instrument which Prætorius describes as being like a pandore in the back; this was the Quinterna, or Chiterna. It differed, however, in other respects, as the ribs, belly, etc., were of simple outline, and the bridge was straight. He says it was tuned like the very earliest lutes (g), and depicts it in his illustrations as not unlike a guitar.
ORPHEUS. A collection of Part-songs or Vocal Quartets by German composers, with English words, published in parts and compressed score. It was started by Messrs. Ewer about 1840, and has been continued to the present day by their successors, Novello, Ewer & Co. The books and songs marked with * are for Mixed voices; the others for Equal ditto.
