“…The concentration of burial music within these partbooks is exceptional amongst contemporary sources. 55 William Chamberlain, a canon of Windsor, requested in his will (dated 14 March 1665/6) that 'the Solemnity of Musick [be] omitted at my buriall'. 56 Although he considered himself to be unworthy of apparently standard ceremonial, he desired that if he should die or be buried at Windsor 'the Quire may have their due fees notwithstanding'; St George's choir continued to receive such burial fees into the eighteenth century.…”

Almost thirty years ago John Morehen noted the presence of a common hand in four important pre-Commonwealth sources of sacred music: Pembroke College, Cambridge MSS Mus. 6.1–6 (six part-books; hereafter Cpc 6.1–6); St George's Chapel, Windsor MSS 18–20 (three partbooks; WRch 18–20); British Library, Harley MS 4142 (a wordbook; Lbl Harl. 4142); and Christ Church, Oxford Mus. 1220–4 (five partbooks; Och 1220–4). All four sources appeared to date from the early 1640s. Morehen also observed that the same scribe subsequently copied the earliest post-Restoration part-books at Windsor (WRch 1 and 2). Identifying the copyist(s) is a crucial stage in the study of the sources, with important implications for provenance, date and function, as well as their authority relative to other sources of the period.
