Mus. 1219(C)

Manuscript. Tenor voice-part (C4 clef) of 'O be joyfull in God all ye lands' by 'Mr John Bishop'. English, early 18th century; copyist unidentified (see below). Formerly Mus. 1219, item 3.

Single leaf, upright format, 327 x 207 mm. Unused ruled staves on the verso. No early bookplate. Now loose within an early 20th century portfolio folder containing all 10 sections of Mus. 1219, the contents of which were foliated and allocated new call-numbers (including the alphabetic letters A-U) in September 1990, with further minor adjustments made in August 1998. In microfilms made before that date, this sheet is numbered '3'.

Provenance unknown. Not recorded in any early catalogue until Havergal Summary, where it is listed among the Portfolios at position I.2.β., item 6: 'Tenor part of an anthem by J. Bishop. MS.'; in Mus. 1219(C) itself, the portfolio reference 'I.2.β' is written in red crayon at the head of the recto.

Microfilm: manuscript music, reel 39.
