Item 7 - Bass cantoris partbook

1 vol., 31 x 19 cm

Anthems by Aldrich, Blake, Blow, Bowman, Boyce, Byrd, Child, Clarke, Croft, Gates, Gibbons, Goldwin, Greene, Handel, Hawkins, Humfrey, Kent, King, Marcello, Mason, Mundy, Nares, Purcell, Richardson, Stroud, Tallis, Tudway, Turner, Tye, Webbe, Weldon, Wise, and Woodward.

The manuscript was possibly begun as early as the 1730s, but the majority of the anthems were likely to have been copied later. This is part of the same set as the alto cantoris partbook at Add. MS a. 665/6.

There were numerous copyists. The original index is now pasted inside the front cover and bound in.
