Mus. 18
Manuscript. English and Italian sacred and secular music, copied
in score by Henry Aldrich, and including several of his own compositions;
English, probably before 1677 (on account of the attribution
of item 10 to 'Mr John Blow'), and possibly before c.1670 (see
Wainwright (in Bibliography below), p. 204). The works by Aldrich
are signed at the end with a monogram 'HA', equivalent to that
found on the titlepage of Mus. 331 (q.v. for an image of this
monogram).
