Mus. 1141a (ff. 70-77)
Manuscript. Violin parts for orchestral movements extracted from
operas by Lully, and for works by Henry Hall (i), copied by James
Talbot, in one case collaboratively with Hall; English, late
17th century. Three pieces are provided either with a bass part,
or with blank staves on which a bass could be added.
- Items 1-15 and 17-28: copied wholly by James Talbot.
- Item 11: copied in two-stave score, the lower stave left blank
for the addition of a bass part. Copying begins on ff. 71v-73v,
and ends on f. 77r.
- Item 16: copied in two-stave score, initially by Henry Hall,
then (from stave 9 of f. 75r) by Talbot, with the lower stave
left blank. The attribution to 'Mr Hall' (f. 75v) is in Talbot's
hand.
- Item 27: two violin parts, written in score.
- Item 28: for violin and bass in score; emendations to the bass
suggest that it was composed by Talbot himself.

Upright format, 330 x 205 mm. 8 folios. Collation uncertain on
account of the tightness of the binding; to judge from the distribution
of item 11 over non-adjacent leaves, the order of pages as currently
bound does not represent the original order of the leaves. Annotations
on f. 77v: 'Mecaenas' (twice) and 'Pindaric Ode'. Bound into
Mus. 1141a, an early 20th-century guardbook of stiff card and
vellum. No early bookplate.
Provenance: almost certainly from the Aldrich bequest, together
with other music copied by James Talbot (see below).
Microfilm: manuscript music, reel 38.
