Mus. 1215(4)

Manuscript. Anonymous cantata, 'O quanto è contenta quell'alma'. Copyist unidentified; probably English, mid 17th century. The name 'Roseingrave', faintly visible at the top of f. 1r, has been added by a different hand.

Upright format, 260 x 218 mm. Two adjacent bifolios (4 folios in total); foliation is modern; unused staves on f. 4v. Stitched into a modern card folder, and mounted impermanently on a cord within an early 20th-century folder of stiff card and vellum containing all 11 sections of Mus. 1215.

Provenance unknown. Formerly shelved within the Portfolios at position I.2.δ (the reference 'I.2.δ' is written in red crayon on f. 1r). In Havergal Summary, the contents of that portfolio are described only in summary as '7 Latin motetts; 5 Italian cantatas, & 2 fragments; & 8 Songs & Duets &c: Anon: MS.'
