Mus. 34-6

*** N.B. The information supplied on this page is extensive; you may find it easier to read from a printed copy. It has been revised and corrected on numerous occasions; see the foot of the page for the date on which the current version was posted. ***

Manuscript. Complete set of three instrumental partbooks (Mus. 34: 'First Treble'; Mus. 35: 'Second Treble'; Mus. 36: 'Thorow Base') containing approximately 30 unattributed single-key suites or 'sets'; English, probably early 18th century; possibly part of the repertory of the Oxford city/university waits or 'musick'. The copyist, who appears also to have been the composer, has not been identified, and is here designated as 'Copyist Z'. Some of these pieces also exist in autograph scores and/or alternative sets of parts within the Christ Church collection. For further details, see the discussion below, which includes a comprehensive listing of the whole repertory of sets.

In the following inventory of Mus. 34-6, sets in the same key are distinguished from one another by means of roman numerals (I, II, etc). Within each set, the number of movements is shown in round brackets: '(1-5)', etc. For some sets, the copyist has numbered the movements himself. Elsewhere, however, successions of movements in the same key are not numbered, and it is unclear whether or not they divide into separate sets. The inventory below shows the maximum possible division into sets, based on the evidence of page turns; it disregards the pencil numbering of movements in the margins, which was added probably by Arkwright in the early 20th century, and which favours long multi-movement sets. Instrumentation is specified in the following movements only:

  • no. 18 below: C major/III, movement 4: 'Trumpet tune' in the First Treble partbook, and 'Violin' specified in the Second Treble partbook;
  • no. 20 below: C major/V, movement 3: 'Two trumpets' specified in the two Treble partbooks;
  • no. 22 below: D major/I, movements 5 and 8: 'Trumpet' and 'Trumpet tune' in the First Treble partbook.

Oblong format, 463 x 345 mm. Each partbook comprises 23 single sheets, stab-sewn to form a textblock. 18th-century binding of marbled paper over boards, edged with vellum. No early bookplates. 19th-century shelfmarks: H.1.34-6.

Provenance: from the Goodson bequest, listed in Clement 1747 as 'Sonatas Manuscrip 3 Books Num: 1', and in Malchair 1787 (f. 1) as 'Instrumental pieces for two violins & a Bass / three large books in Marble Coverd boards:'. A label pasted to the outside upper cover of Mus. 34 is annotated 'R: Goodson / Christ Church Coll:' in the hand of Richard Goodson Jr. Clement's number-label is missing.

Mus. 34-6 belongs to a large group of manuscripts at Christ Church connected with composers and musicians whose identity and activities remain unknown. The modest nature of the music, however, combined with the specification of 'trumpets' for several pieces, hints at this being the repertory of a professional consort, the most likely of which is the Oxford city/university waits or 'musick' in the early 18th century.

Many of the manuscripts, including Mus. 34-6, are in the hand of Copyist Z; they comprise composing drafts or scores, fair copies, sets of performing parts, and a small quantity of pedagogical material. The majority of the rest are the work of Copyist Y, whose hand in general resembles that of Copyist Z, raising the possibililty that Y is in fact a variant of Z. If Copyist Y is correctly a separate individual, then he too seems to have been a composer, and also wrote out material pertaining to or arising from music teaching. Two further unidentified copyists, X and W, make occasional appearances. Copyist X, whose hand is more distinctively individual, evidently copied only works by other composers (including Henry Purcell), either in score or in parts; his work occurs in Mus. 1125, pp. 7-8, 17-25 and 31-8; Mus. 1128, sheets 31 and 37; Mus. 1133, sheets 12-14; Mus. 1137, sheet 6; and Mus. 1140, sheets 1-3 and 12-14. Copyist W was responsible for Mus. 1141a (ff. 12-14), a set of performers' parts for movements copied elsewhere by Copyists Y and X.

No dates appear in any of the manuscripts. However, Mus. 1132 includes (as Sheet 3) a draft indenture dated 1708-9 that appears to have been copied by Copyist Z, and may hint at the approximate date of the entire complex of manuscripts.

The preference of Copyists Z and Y was for the three-part texture of two treble instruments and figured bass; only occasionally did they venture into four-part scoring. Contrapuntal texture is standard. Instrumentation is rarely specified; a few movements are headed with the word 'trumpets' or are named 'trumpet tune', but otherwise violins are implied for the two upper parts, since they do not extend in range below the open G string. Individual melodic lines are never technically demanding or wide-ranging, and if played on violins they would rarely venture above first position. Treble parts are notated in G2 clef, with the single exception of Mus. 1131, sheet 2, which employs G1 'violin' clefs (Copyist Z) for three movements a3, the first and last of which are headed 'Ritornelle'. A few movements a2 for treble and bass occur within the complex; see Mus. 1125, pp. 31-8; Mus. 1128, sheet 37; Mus. 1135, sheets 2 and 4; and Mus. 1137, sheet 2.

Most of the movements copied by Z and Y are organized in single-key suites or 'sets'. (The latter term occurs only twice, in marginal notes made by Copyist Z in Mus. 1128, sheet 11r, and Mus. 1132, sheet 13r.) There is a wide variety of keys, including A major, B minor and F minor. Individual sets may contain as few as three or as many as nine movements. Some sets exist in fair-copy parts; others survive only in score, copied on sheets in large folio format, including what are sometimes clearly composing scores, with substantial revisions. In several sets it is possible to follow a path of evolution from initial composing score, through various layers of revision, to final fair copy and performing parts. For a complete listing of the single-key sets and their sources, see the end of this page.

In addition, the copyists wrote out a few works by other composers: Giovanni Battista Bassani, Lelio Colista, Corelli, Henry Du Mont, Lully and Henry Purcell. Finally, some of the sheets were used for (or arise from) pedagogy - apparently the teaching of composition - and there is also a verbal analysis of passages from works by Lully, copied and perhaps conceived by Copyist Y, in Mus. 1187, Folder B, item 8.

Of the materials created by these musicians, only Mus. 34-6 were given robust bindings. The remainder took the form of single sheets or partbook-fascicles, and in that state they were kept in bundles or rolls until the early years of the 20th century, when they were mounted in guardbooks and given their current arrangement and appearance. These sheets and fascicles are not mentioned in any catalogues of the Christ Church collections until those of Havergal. However, in view of Goodson Jr's known ownership of Mus. 34-6, it seems likely that they all derive from the Goodson bequest. If the repertory does indeed derive from the university waits, then it would probably have been supervised by the Professor of Music, a post that the Goodsons held in succession; hence the link with the Goodson bequest.

The following manuscripts at Christ Church contain material copied by Copyists Z, Y, X and W. Only outline descriptions are given here; emphasis is placed upon any contents that may help to shed further light on the entire complex of manuscripts. Section A lists music copied in score by Z and Y, scores that presumably arise from the act of composing and revising the pieces themselves. Section B lists fair-copy sets of performing parts, again copied by Z and Y. Section C lists other material, including music by named composers, and all manuscripts copied by Copyists X and W.

Item 10: 'A Set of Tunings by Mr Baltazar' = three dances in G major for violin in scordatura by Thomas Baltzar; copyist unidentified; this sheet is not connected repertorially to the other contents of Mus. 1125, and may have found its way into the volume by chance.

  • Mus. 1187, Folder B, item 8. Prose description (with music examples) of harmonic progressions in Lully's Proserpine (1680; printed score = Mus. 601, from the Goodson bequest), and in an unidentified work; copied by Y, possibly with some Z at the end. For a discussion of this item, see Joel Lester, 'An Analysis of Lully from circa 1700', Music Theory Spectrum, 16 (1994), 41-61. Mus. 1187, which is principally devoted to the 'James Talbot MS' but also includes texts of other provenance, was assembled in the mid/late 18th century by Christ Church librarians. Lester was unaware of that, and his comments on provenance should therefore be disregarded.
