Anthems, composed for the use of the King's Chapel, by James Nares.
Scope & Content:

ff. 96.

Bookplate, with arms, of Nares. compos'd for the use of the Kings Chapel by James Nares.

'(First Book of) Anthems compos'd for the use of the Kings Chapel by James Nares, from 1757 to (1709 &c.).' The words in brackets appear to have been added by Richard Clark (see f. 1), whose stamp is on f. 2, and in whose hand are various remarks made in Nares' index (f. 2) and in the body of the work. The greater number of the compositions appear to have been contained in the Twenty Anthems, published in 1778, with the exception of six (nos. 1, 5, 8, 14, 15, 18), which are probably among the seven said by Novello, in his edition of the same work, to be 'contained in a previous volume.' They are all of them verse Anthems, in score, with a figured bass, unless the contrary is stated. 1. 'Do well, Lord.' '1757.' f. 3. 2. 'When the Lord turned again.' '1758.' f. 6b. 3. 'Turn Thee again, Lord.' '1759' (the solo added afterwards). f. 11. 4. 'Not unto us, Lord.' 'A Thanksgiving Anthem, for the taking Montreal and making us Masters of all Canada.' '1760.' f. 15. 5.
