Mus. 1215(5)

Manuscript. Vocal work for three voices and continuo, in score. Originally copied with the Italian text 'Colui che partesi dal Regno amabile' in an unidentified hand, late 17th century. Partially re-texted in German (starting 'Warum') in a different but contemporary hand. Possibly the setting of 'Colui che partesi' doubtfully attributed elsewhere to Antonio Sartorio.

Upright format, 332 x 210 mm. Bifolio; foliation is modern; f. 2v is blank, with a central horizontal fold-mark. Pasted 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.'
