Mus. 1188-9 (ff. 28-31)

Manuscript. Two partbook-fascicles, the first (ff. 28-9) labelled 'D[ecani Bassus]', the second (ff. 30-31) 'C[antoris Contratenor]', containing the Te Deum and Jubilate of an unidentified Service in C major, copied by Edward Lowe. English, 3rd quarter of 17th century.

Upright format, 330 x 215 mm. Each fascicle comprises a sigle bifolio; these are now pasted together, and mounted on a guard. No early bookplate. Now bound within Mus. 1188-9, an early C20th guardbook of stiff card and vellum.

Provenance unknown. Not recorded in any Christ Church catalogue until Havergal Summary, where it is listed among the Portfolios at position I.2.γ under the general heading of '14 Anonymous anthems, mostly separate, with fragments of others, & 3 services in parts. MS'; in Mus. 1188-9 (ff. 28-31) itself, the portfolio reference 'I.2.γ' is written in red crayon at the top of f. 30r.
