Mus. 1141a (ff. 10-11)

Manuscript. Fair copy in score of a three-movement suite or 'set' in C major; English, probably early 18th century. Probably part of the repertory of the Oxford city/university waits or 'musick'. The copyist/composer, who has not been identified, is here designated as Copyist 'Y'; he was also responsible for other autograph scores and/or sets of performing parts within the Christ Church collection.
