Extract

Of the twenty or so music manuscripts from the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries preserved in Hereford Cathedral Library, no fewer than six contain sections devoted to keyboard music — a remarkably high proportion. Although all six contain other music too, this article will concentrate on the keyboard music; and, since the sources are very little known and virtually unrecorded in print, a description and inventory of all the keyboard music will be given here. (A complete inventory of all the manuscripts will eventually be published under the auspices of the Répertoire international des sources musicales (RISM).) The six manuscripts can be divided chronologically into three groups: two from around 1700, two from around 1720 and two from around the 1760s.
