Add MS 36871

ff. 34. A collection of hymn-tunes by various composers, mostly English, and many of them anonymous. They were originally bound up with a printed copy of 'Sacred Music' by G[abriel] Davis, of Portsea [1800], and as the watermark is 1798, the collection was probably commenced by him in or shortly after the former year. The tunes appear to be arranged for 2 voices, with chorus and symphonies and accompaniments for organ, and sometimes other instruments as well. In score, most of them taken from collections of the second half of the 18th century.
