Mus. 1219(G)

Manuscript. [Richard Goodson Sr], 'I am well pleased that the Lord hath heard'; autograph short score. English, late 17th century. Formerly Mus. 1219, item 8.

Bifolio, upright format, 370 x 245 mm. The foliation is modern. Annotation on f. 1r by Philip Hayes: 'Solo Anthem composed by Richard Goodson Senr probably at an early period of his life'. 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 item is numbered '8'.

Provenance unknown, but most likely from the Goodson bequest. Not recorded in any early catalogue until Havergal Summary, where it is listed among the Portfolios at position I.2.β (together with Mus. 1219(H) and Mus. 1219(I-T)), item 17, as '3 anthems by R. Goodson Sr: original MS.'; in Mus. 1219(G) itself, the portfolio reference 'I.2.β' is written in red crayon at the head of f. 1r.

Microfilm: manuscript music, reel 39.
