General Description

A Quintus partbook from a set originally of six volumes. Compiled by an undetermined number of copyists, none of whom has yet been identified. Probably copied in London or Ware Park, Hertfordshire, for use in household of Sir Henry Fanshawe or Sir Thomas Fanshawe; then owned by the heirs of Sir Henry Fanshawe; then possibly part of the Hatton collection (on the grounds of the connections that exist between Mus. 56-60 and Mus. 61-6, q.v.). Acquired by Christ Church as part of the Aldrich bequest; listed in Archives 1717, position B5, as 'A Set of Anthems', qualified in Dowding (main hand) as being 'By Bull & Hooper M.S.'. A fuller description is given by Burney (f. 8r): 'Anthems & Hymns by Hooper, Wilkinson, Amner, Tho' Mattocks, Robt. Jones, Weelkes, T. Lupo, Warde, W. Symmes, Ravenscroft, Forde, Bennet, &c, a large Collection. MS. 5 Books.' One or more partbooks from this set may formerly have been shelved at position A5, giving rise to the following entry in Dowding (main hand): 'Anthems / By Bull & Hooper M.S.' (This is the only entry in Dowding that does not match an equivalent entry in Archives 1717.)
