Publisher's Synopsis
The Dean and Chapter of Durham is responsible for two corpuses of manuscript music. The organ books and part-books used in the cathedral over the centuries form the greatest part of its own collection, those for the early seventeenth century being particularly well known. Although outnumbered by such books, instrumental music is significantly represented in the donations made by Philip Falle (1656-1742) and Richard Fawcett (1714-82), both prebendaries of the cathedral.;Music scholars and historians; students and scholars of medieval and ecclesiastical history.
