_Barnard's Church Music_ (Vol. v., p. 176.).--In addition to the "odd
parts" mentioned by your correspondent AMANUENSIS, may be included a
tenor, and a counter-tenor part, in my possession.
MR. BERIAH BOTFIELD, in his _Notes on the Cathedral Libraries of
England_, p. 439., mentioning the music-books in the Library of the Dean
and Chapter of Westminster, says:
"I may here notice Day's _Service Book_, 1565, with music; the
tenor, _Morning and Evening Prayer_, imperfect, but of which only
three or four copies are known; Barnard's _Cathedral Music_, only
found elsewhere at Berlin; and several English Music Books of
great rarity."
I am tolerably well acquainted with the contents of the Westminster
Library, but have not been fortunate enough to discover the copy here
mentioned. Perhaps AMANUENSIS may be more lucky. At present I am under
the impression that MR. BOTFIELD is in error as to the existence of a
copy of _Barnard_ at Westminster.
