- Title:
- Incidental music to Macbeth, which has been attributed to John Eccles
- Scope & Content:
- Incidental music to Macbeth, with symphonies and accompaniments for serpent and other instruments, in score, in the same hand as the Ode by John Eccles in Add MS 31456, and apparently autograph. In Add MS 29378, consisting almost entirely of works by Eccles, the composition of this music (ff. 57-95) is ascribed to him without reserve. The copy in the latter MS was evidently taken from the present one, probably before the mutilation of the last page, which may possibly have contained the composer's name.
The resemblance of the music to that popularly known as Matthew Lock's is very slight. For a further description of the MS, see Oliphant's 'Catalogue of MS. Music in the British Museum', 1842. Besides the singers mentioned there, the present MS contains the names of — Nicholson, a tenor, and — Wiltshire, a bass (fl. 1697). For the former the name of — Short was substituted, apparently in a contemporary hand, and for the latter that of — Cook, which has been put in the place of each of the other 4 basses in turn.
