Vocal music by Giacomo Carissimi, Henry Purcell, John Blow. Full score in the hand of Francis Smith (1672-98), a singing-man and copyist at Christ Church (see Christ Church, Mus. 37 and 53), written in the 1690s. An 18th-cent. hand (perhaps of John Groombridge - see below) has added an incomplete reduction of the vocal parts of a William Croft anthem at the end.

a (pp. 1-60) 'Carissimi's mass', with a note at the opening, 'This symph. by Dan. Purcell'. For 3-part chorus (TTB), 2 violins and continuo, comprising Kyrie, Gloria, Sanctus, Agnus Dei and Credo, in that order. This is the Mass 'Sciolto havean dall'alte sponde' by Giacomo Carissimi, which exists in various 3-5-voice versions, with and without violins, and with various added 'symphonies'. This version is also found in MS. Tenbury 1268.
