Tenor decani partbook
Add. MS a/665/2 · Item · early 18th c.
Part of Additional Manuscripts a

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.
