85 Charlotte St, W. [on printed notepaper for 7 Bayley St, Bedford Square, W.C.]. - She is correct that it is [Purcell's] "Golden Sonata", but she should not look at the Jensen edition, which is 'shocking'; will lend her a copy from the original, and it will give her no trouble. Asks her to let him know when she will come to London before 11 June, and he will arrange to accompany her here; a 'good practice' on the 11th then will be 'quite sufficient to play the piece successfully' [for a concert?]. It is very beautiful, and she must not judge it by Jensen's version; she will 'enjoy it very much' when they play it together.

Verse anthems by Aldrich, Batten, Blow, Bowman, Clarke, Croft, Fuller, Gibbons, Goldwin, Grano, Greene, Hall, Hawkins, Humfrey, Jackson, Norris, Purcell, Quarles, Tucker, Tudway, Weldon, Williams, and Wise, with one anthem by an unidentified composer.

Closely related to the Tenor Cantoris partbook and Bass Cantoris partbook which make up Add. MS a. 655/3 and 4.

Two anthems are represented by fragments, Weldon's 'O praise God in his holiness' and Batten's 'Hear my prayer, O God'. An index lists only three pieces, one of which ('Psalm 119') is now missing. Pages 4-8 are for bass, although this is a tenor decani partbook. The paper is uniform, with 10 staves to a page. Three principal copyists were at work, not all professional hands. The original index has been pasted into MS a. 665/3 in error.

The Shiffolds. - Had a 'very interesting visit to Cambridge' after his enjoyable one to Welcombe: went to see The Fairy Queen acted and sung 'chiefly by undergraduates' - this is Midsummmer Night's Dream, with 'operatic additions and ballets by Purcell'. It was 'an almost perfect entertainment; the spoken parts being acted and delivered as well as I have ever heard them on the English stage'. with the 'somewhat incongruous additions' also being 'excellently sung and staged'. Purcell's music was 'quite worthy of his fame as about the only great musician we have ever had during the last three centuries'.

Found everyone well at home: Julian is currently 'busy helping to light the twenty bonfires of brambles and brush' they have made in the 'clearing part of our copse'. A 'good bonfire is a delight to anyone, whether child or no'. Sends thanks to his mother for her letter, and asks his father to say that he has 'got [Robert] Bridges pamphlet on homophones', which was sent him as a 'member of the S.P.E. or Society for the Preservation of English [actually, the Society for Pure English]'. However, he imagines 'English will go its own way for good or evil, without troubling itself much about the S.P.E. or anything else'.

Verse anthems by Aldrich, Batten, Blow, Creighton, Croft, Fuller, Gibbons, Goldwin, Grano, Greene, Hall, Hawkins, Humfrey, Jackson, Norris, Purcell, Quarles, Tucker, Tudway, Weldon, Williams, and Wise.

Closely related to the Tenor decani partbook and Bass cantoris partbook which make up Add. MS a. 665/2 and 4; the contents of Add. MS a. 665/2 are identical apart from five anthems; 'I will arise and go to my father' (Wise), ''Sing unto the Lord' (Bowman), and 'I will love thee O Lord' (Clarke) are absent from Add. MS a. 665/3; a later hand has crossed out p. 25 in red. There are three original ink indexes: the inside front cover has a near-complete index of Add. MS a. 665/2 (placed here in error). Three principal copyists, not all professional hands, were at work. The names Fuller and Keymer, lay clerks, appear at the top of p. 51 and f. iiir respectively. The top of p. 51 has the signature 'R Fuller,' possibly an autograph.

Welcombe, Stratford on Avon. - Envies Robert having heard the Fairy Queen [see 46/254]; Purcell is the 'only name which really fascinates' him in music, apart from that of Mrs R. C. Trevelyan, the effect of allusion to him in Browning's Waring', and of reading about him in the 'list of composers at the beginning of the Anthem-book in Trinity Chapel' as he sat in his surplice like the four or five hundred other young men around him in 'the most impressive Church ceremony (Uncle Tom used to say) except perhaps the Beguinage at Ghent'. Thanks Robert for sending [Lucian's] Peregrinus which goes well with the Alexander Pseudomantis and the On Salaried Posts in Great Houses [whose title he gives in Greek]; considers to be 'the most human pictures of ancient society', and recommends Robert to read the other two if he has not done so. Is going to read gradually through Bergck, except for the Pindar and the fragments taken from ancient grammarians; will use Robert's letter from 1900 with the 'first sketch of a charming little poem on the "roses"'. Good to hear of Robert and Julian's bonfires; cannot remember if he saw their bonfire for the 'second jubilee of 1897' [Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee], which was the best he himself ever saw: the estate was fully staffed, and the estate workers built it forty foot high of brushwood soaked with paraffin.

Verse anthems by Aldrich, Batten, Blow, Bowman, Clarke, Creighton, Croft, Fuller, Gibbons, Goldwin, Grano, Greene, Hall, Hawkins, Humfrey, J. Jackson, Norris, Purcell, Quarles, Tucker, Tudway, Weldon, Williams, and Wise, with five anthems by unidentified composers.

Closely related to the Tenor decani partbook and Tenor cantoris partbook which make up Add. MS a. 665/2 and 3. Three anthems do not appear in those partbooks.

An original index is pasted on the inside front cover. p. 137 contains an insertion passage of three bars from Psalm 150, not relatable to any piece in the manuscript. P. 144 contains three anonymous double chants in pencil, added later. P. 155 is headed 'Deliver my soul O Lord by Mr Hawkins Ely' but no music has been copied. The manuscript was likely copied before 1730.

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.

Part of the same set as the bass cantoris partbook (item 7), and the contents are related to the treble partbook (item 5). This is a very substantial collection of repertoire dating from c.1680-1780; the appearance of c16th works like Mundy O Lord the maker of all things, Tallis I call and cry, Tye I will exalt thee, Byrd Bow thine ear and Child O Lord grant the King a long life indicates that Boyce (1768) was a source; there are 20 anthems by Croft, mostly from the 1724/5 collection, and much from Page's Harmonia sacra (1800). The manuscript was possibly begun as early as the 1730s, but most of it has been copied later, and was still in use in the 19th century: p.278 contains a pencil note 'This is sung Dec 16 1814' [occasion not identified]. The James Kent works may be autograph.

Numerous copyists, of which some professional hands, were involved. The original ink index is now pasted inside the front cover and bound in at ii and iii.
