Mus. 1141a (ff. 12-14)

Manuscript. Complete set of three performers' parts for three movements in different keys, all scored for two trebles and bass; English, probably early 18th century. Probably part of the repertory of the Oxford city/university waits or 'musick'; for further details, see the entry for Mus. 34-6. The copyist of these performers' parts has not been identified; he is here designated as 'Copyist W'.

The three movements also exist in scores, copied by two other unidentified copyist/composers designated as 'X' and 'Y'. They are copied in the following order:

1. 'Allegro' in E flat major. There are scores of this movement by Copyist Y in Mus. 1125, p. 11, and Mus. 1137, sheet 5 verso.
2. 'Grave' in e minor. There is a score of this movement by Copyist X in Mus. 1125, p. 7.
3. 'Largo' in B flat major. There are scores of this movement by Copyist X in Mus. 1125, p. 8, and by Copyist Y in Mus. 1137, sheet 5 recto.

Upright format, 296 x 221 mm. Three single leaves; f. 12: [First Treble]; f. 13: [Second Treble]; f. 14: [(unfigured) Bass]. Music has been copied only on the recto of each leaf; unused ruled staves on the versos. Bound into Mus. 1141a, an early 20th-century guardbook of stiff card and vellum. No early bookplate.

Provenance: probably from the Goodson bequest, together with all other manuscripts related to Mus. 34-6 (q.v.).
