A composite manuscript comprising five volumes of instrumental and vocal music copied by Francis Withy and a sequence of Palestrina madrigals copied by Richard Goodson I, probabl y bound t ogether for Henry Aldrich in the late seventeenth century.1 iv + 148 + iv (outermost two flyleaves at either end are stubs only).

Original paginations superseded by modern pencil foliation 1-147 (and one unnumbered folio) as follows:

*f. 65r cont ains an i ncorrect copy of t he opening of Rovetta’s ‘Dulcis Christe’, annotated ‘falce writ’ by Withy. The pagination of this section therefore starts with his second copy of these bars beginning on 65v.

1 The description given here follows the divi sion of Och Mus. 8 into lay ers adopted in OCH-OL except for the distinction between Layers 4a and 4b; see Rastrology below for justification of this change. 225 Oxford, Christ Church, Mus. 8

Scribes: 1. Francis Withy (ff. 1-106v). 2. Richard Goodson I, with som e additions of text underlay by Henry Aldrich (ff. 109-147).

Inscriptions: f. 1: ‘Mr Chr: Gibbons his two parts / to the Organ’; f.17: ‘Mr Chr: Gibbons his 3 parts’; f. 39: ‘Dr Gibbons’; f. 41: ‘For 3 parts Two Trebles and a Base by Mr Matt: Lock’.

Format and dimensions: folio, 375-80 x 240-5.

Watermarks: Fleur-de-lys I/16, Fleur-de-lys I/17 (ff. 1-108). From f. 109 onwards there are two further Fleur-de-lys I marks, one countermarked RM and the other IHS.

Rastrology:

A 12; B 4; C 98; D 13(13.5)14(14.5)14.5(15)14. Red marginal rulings on left and right. Although there is considerable variation in detailed measurements, all pages of both paper t ypes in ff. 1-108 appear t o have been ruled with the same rastrum. With the exception of the gathering forming ff. 61-64 all pages copied by Withy have been pre-rul ed with bar l ines; as ff. 61-64 are separat ely paginated and contain repertory distinct from the following Rovetta section they may be regarded as a small but independent layer of the manuscript.

Collation: ff. 1-108 (and indeed most of ff. 109-[148]) consist of four-folio quires. However, ff. 90 and 91, which are at the centre of a gathering, are not conjunct so one of these folios must have been replaced in its entirety.

Binding: original card with white vellum edging, 392 x 248. The bi nding contains the bookplate identified in OCH-OL as ‘Bookplate 2’.

Provenance: Oxford; probably part of the bequest made to Christ Church by Henry Aldrich on his death in 1710. W atermark types strongly suggest copying in the early 1680s, especially the unusual PSAB monogram countermark which occurs in Ob MS Mus. Sch. C. 23, copied in 1680.2

3 Incomplete. 244 Oxford, Christ Church, Music Manuscripts 409-410

Treble and bass string parts of Matthew Locke’s ‘Consort for severall freinds’, in a version differing significantly from that in the composer’s autograph Lbl, Add. MS 17,801. Apart from textual variants within movements, Och 409-10 omits some movements from the autograph, includes others not found there and presents some suites in a different order. Probably copied in the 1670s (see Provenance below).

Mus. 409: i + 47 + i. Pencil foliation ff. 1-17 followed by 30 unnumbered folios. No music entered on 1, 17v, nor on any of the unnumbered folios. Mus. 410: iii + 48 + i. No foliation or pagination. No music entered on [1], [17]v- [48]v.

Scribe: Francis Withy (as Plates 17d-f).

Format and dimensions: Upright quarto 260 x 205.

Watermarks: Bend II/5.

Rastrology: A 8; B 4; C 98; D 12.5(16)12.5(15.5)13(16)12.5

Collation: A-M4 in both partbooks. In Mus. 409 quire B lacks its final folio and a whole page correction slip is pasted over f. 12v.

Bindings: contemporary distressed calf with blind-tooled rectangles and corner patterns similar to those in Och, Mus. 401-2; this binding is identified as ‘Aldrich binding type 2’ in OCH-OL. Edges of boards unusually decorated with gilt dots; spine inscription in gold lettering: ‘FANT[asia] A 2.B[ooks] / 1 [Mus 409] or 2 [Mus. 410].

Provenance: Oxford. The manuscripts belonged to Henry Aldrich’s collection in which they were designated ‘FANT A’, the first set in the fantasia sequence, and were copied by Francis Withy, who began his long career as a Christ Church singing man in 1670. They may be connected in some way with Matthew Locke’s documented visit to Oxford in 1673.

Inscriptions: Most pages are labelled with the number of parts (e.g. ‘A 4 voc:’), the part name, an ascription and the title of the piece. The com plex history of the source is reflected in the variety of titles used by different scribes and by the need to re-copy headings initially written by scribe O (see below). Each new section is introduced in each part by a rubric such as ‘Heere beginneth the Fantazies of 4: partes’, added by Hand D. The ori ginal copyist (O) paginated his work in i nk, making a new start from 1 at the beginning of each section.

Format and dimensions: Folio, 283 x 195; coloured edges and rounded corners.

Bibliography: BROWNE A; BROWNE FF; FERRABOSCO II 5 -6, especially p. 206

Och 423-428 are t he only books in the Browne collection to contain the work of copyist ‘O’. This scribe’s work was evidently carried out before binding, as he had to replace original headings cropped when the books were bound; he worked predominantly in large gatherings and numbered the pages containing music in separate sequences for each scoring combination. The intended contents of the books were not lim ited to the initial project completed by ‘O’, and substantial amounts of unused paper were i ncorporated in the binding. A number of pastedowns and flyleaves consist of music paper; for pastedowns, the binder seems often to have used pages copied by ‘O’ that duplicate material elsewhere but do not have any apparent faults—see page 1 for a possible explanation.

Watermarks: None visible in music paper, which otherwise resembles the ‘Bend I’ material found in other Christ Church sources. The binding is not deep or tight enough to conceal any standard type of watermark , so Och 473-478 appear to represent a rare occurrence of unmarked high-quality paper.

Flyleaves in Och 474 and 475 (front and rear), 476 (front) and 477 (front and rear) are made of paper with a mark representing a bunch of grapes on a shield; other flyleaves are made of the main paper type.

Six folios unused in Och 716, 718 and 720; copied in two unidentified hands with music by Jenkins, one in Och 717 and the other in 719 (pp. 9- 20) (see Plates 11g-h) ). 3. Two folios containing music by Bassano in a fourth hand (pp. 21-24) (see Plates 11a-c) 4. A large gathering, usually containing 17 surviving folios, copied in a fifth hand (pp. 25 onwards); this section has a superseded earl ier pagination and its first page is discoloured (see Plates 11d-f).

271 Christ Church, Mus. 716-720

Binding: Contemporary grey paper, c. 284 x 190

Provenance: The only evidence to link this set of books with John Browne is the appearance of Hand C, who copies Lupo’s four-part fantasias VdGS nos 9-12 i n the opening section of each book except Och 718. It s eems likely, however, that C played a part in the assembly of the composite partbooks as he apparently ‘wrote over’ the Cantus part of t he final work i n Och 716 t o make the notation more legible. It cannot be proven that he was working on John Browne’s behalf, but the four Lupo fantasias he copied do not duplicate Browne’s known partbooks elsewhere. The earliest material appears to be t he fourth section, containing five-part music by Lupo, White and other composers: this section consisted of a single large gathering with its own internal pagination, and the first page of this section in each partbook is discoloured, as though it was the outermost page for som e years (the corresponding back pages have been re moved). The title pages of each partbook clearly anticipate the inclusion of additional six- rather than four-part music.

2 Lacks 2 parts. 274 Oxford, Christ Church, Music Manuscripts 728-730

Three partbooks containing autograph music by John Withy, consisting mostly of ayres and a single fantasia for two bass viols and continuo; the final piece is a set of variations on a ground for treble and bass. The ayres are complex pieces with written-out variations in their repeats. Contents are grouped according to key and sometimes appear to be conceived as brief suites or as pairs of contrasting movements. Probably copied c. 1650-60. i. 728: i + 26 + i. Modern pencil foliation for music folios 1-21. No music entered from f. 21v onwards, on any preceding verso except f. 17v, or on f. 17r. ii. 729: i + 26 + i. Modern pencil foliation 1-28 including flyleaves. No music entered from f. 22v onwards, on any preceding versos except 16v and 18v or on f. 18r. iii. 730: i + 20 + i. Modern pencil foliation 1-22 including flyleaves. No music entered from f. 12v onwards or on any preceding verso.

Owner: Henry Aldrich appears to have owned the set at the time of his death (see Provenance below).

Scribe: John Withy (as Plates 16d-e).

Inscriptions: i. front flyleaf verso: table of contents according to key (John Withy). ii. f. 1r (flyleaf): ‘a dul busines’; at foot of page an obliterated name. iii. most pages headed ‘organo’.

Format and dimensions: folio i. 293 x 195; ii. 292 x 191; iii. 293 x 196.

Watermarks: i. ff. 2-[24] Pillars II/6; i. ff. 1 and [26] and all of ii and iii have a centre watermark apparently consisting of the name ‘PINAUD’ in a panel.

275 Christ Church, Mus. 728-730 Collations: each book consists of a single quire inside flyleaves and a grey paper cover.

Binding: Contemporary grey paper covers; Och 728-9 labelled ‘For two Bases’ and Och 730 labelled ‘Throughe Base’; each volume bears the early shelfmark ‘K25’ (see Provenance below). Flyleaf watermarks Posthorn FII/1.

Provenance: From the circle of John Withy of Worcester and his son Francis. The early shelfmark K25, however, clearly links the set with a document at Christ Church, Oxford, ‘A Catalogue of the Books contain’d in the Archives’, begun in 1717 and believed to list, among other things, Henry Aldrich’s music collection (see OCH- OL). Although Francis Withy was a singing man at Christ Church from 1670 until his death in 1727, and evidently knew Henry Aldrich, Och 728-30 bear no evidence of Francis’s ownership and may therefore have been a direct gift from John Withy to Aldrich or another member of the college.

Three partbooks mainly containing fantasias in three parts by Thomas Tomkins. i. Och 1018 ‘Triplex’: i + 21 + ii (counting double pasted leaves as single folios). Quires numbered in pencil; modern pencil foliation 1-21. No music entered on ff. 1r-3r, 9r, 10v-14r, 18v-19r, 21v. ii. Och 1019 ‘Medius’: i + 26 + i (counting double pasted leaves as single folios). Quires numbered in pencil, but modern foliation only ff. 1-3. No music entered on the following folios within each numbered quire:

Quire 1 1v-2v Quire 2 (labelled 3) 1r (= f. 3 in continuous foliation), 3v, 4r, 6v Quire 3 1r, 2r, 3r, 4v, 5r-8v Quire 4 1r-2r, 3v-4r Quire 5 2v-3r, 4v-5v iii. Och 1020 ‘Bassus’: ii + 23 + i (counting double pasted leaves as single folios). Quires numbered in pencil; no other foliation. No music entered on the following folios within each numbered quire:

Quire 1 1r-2v Quire 2 1r, 3v, 4r, 6v Quire 3 1r, 3r, 4v-6v Quire 4 1r-4r Quire 5 3r-3v

Scribes:

1. An unidentified hand responsible for all the Tomkins fantasias (see Plate 15) 2, 3 Two unidentified hands who added some fragments on f. 1r of Och 10191.

Format and dimensions: folio, drastically cut down: i. 198 x 191, ii. 194 x 192, iii. 196 x 191. See Rastrology below.

1 Facsimile in TOMKINS I3 opposite p. 136. John Irving suggests that the second of these hands is that of the scribe who copied GB-Ob, MSS Mus. Sch. C.64-9. 281 Christ Church, Mus. 1018-1020 Watermarks: Bend IV/1

Rastrology: A 7; B 5; C 116; D 13(12.5)13(13)12.5(13)13(13)12.5 As the staves are clearly ruled with a five-stave rastrum, the books appear to consist of heavily cut-down pages of ten-stave paper.2 It is difficult to imagine why this was done unless particular dimensions were specified for practical reasons or to conform with existing material; it is evident from the number of unused folios, however, that economy was not a prime consideration.

Collations: (after TOMKINS I3 pp. 132-3 and Table 11) i. A4-1 B6 C10-1 D4 E8 ii. A2 B-C8 D8-1 E6 iii. A2 B-D8 E6-1

Binding:

Contemporary paper covers. Flyleaf watermarks include Pillars FI/4/a; another Pillars mark on f. [i] of Och 1020, and a Pot I mark in the front flyleaf of Och 1019, are partly obscured by bookplates.

Provenance:

Probably West Midlands, possibly Worcester in the circle of Thomas Tomkins and John Withy (see TOMKINS I3, esp. pp. 145 and 172).
