PSALM TUNES; after 1712. Added in MS. on inter-leaves to the printed volume The Whole Books of Psalms…by Thomas Sternhold, John Hopkins, and others (Printed by William Pearson, 1712). Those marked a, below, are for 4 voices and, unless the contrary is stated, taken from an edition of Thomas Ravenscroft’s Whole Book of Psalmes; those marked b, from John Playford’s 3-part setting of the same collection (? chiefly the 1713 edition); and those marked a, b, from both these latter works. At the beginning is some prefatory matter (also in MS.), rather similar to that in the 1713 edition (above referred to), including "The Gamut or Scale of Musick" (f. ib) and the "Musickall Notes with their Names," etc. (f. ii). Where no tune appears in loco, or is indicated elsewhere in the volume, the one given by Playford (if it be found in the present volume), or that given by Ravenscroft, or by both, is conjecturally supplied in square brackets. The words "By T. R," etc., after the name of the tune, mean "Harmonized by T. Ravenscroft"; "J. P." stands for John Playford. The pages given below are those of the MS. portions of the volume. Purchased, 5 Oct. 1857.
