Description of contents
The collection consists of ten metrical psalm tunes (setting two texts from the 'Old Version' of Sternhold & Hopkins, seven from the 'New Version' of Tate & Brady, and one by Isaac Watts) and three anthems.
The music is laid out in full score with the soprano air next to the bass. The treble clef is used for soprano, alto, and tenor parts, with both the alto and tenor parts being notated an octave above sounding pitch.
A figured instrumental bass is given throughout, with 'symphonies' (short instrumental introductions and interludes) scored for three instruments (the figured bassline plus two instruments of treble pitch). Where these symphonies occur on the same systems as the vocal parts, the first treble instrument part is generally printed on the soprano part, and the second treble instrument on the tenor part.
