Mus. 1142a (ff. 23-8)

Manuscript. Fragments from a Latin ode (or odes) by Richard Goodson Sr, in composing score; English, c. 1700.

  • ff. 24-24*: opening of the ode 'Io triumphe'. Bifolio, mounted on a guard; the right-hand leaf (f. 24*) has largely been torn away.
  • f. 23: chorus 'O Diva chordas tangere', apparently from the same ode. Single leaf, mounted on a guard. Unused ruled staves on verso.
  • ff. 25-8: further fragments, apparently from the same ode. Probably two bifolios, nested. Unused ruled staves on ff. 27v-28r.
Upright format, 285 x 187 mm. Foliation of f. 24* added in August 1998. Now bound into Mus. 1142a, an early 20th-century guardbook of stiff card and vellum. No early bookplate.

Provenance: presumably from the Goodson bequest, but not recorded in any catalogue of the Christ Church collections before the 20th century.
