- Description

- Complete set of five partbooks containing motets, anthems, consort
music and consort songs, copied principally by Robert Dow
(1553-88), fellow of All Souls College, Oxford, with later
additions by John Baldwin and an unidentified copyist; English.
This set is one of the most important surviving music manuscripts
from Elizabethan England, and a major source of works by William
Byrd. It is also famous for Dow's exquisite penmanship, executed in
black ink over staves previously printed in red.
