Description: |
Dolben's Wedding Anthem In the heading the slightly imperfect name is Hughes (an alto solo in the ms. confirms this). The heading refers to a song by Croft with words by A. Alsop - a copy of this song is in the Royal College of Music, London, ref. MS. 995. It has the bookplates of Sir John Dolben and of John Lucius Dampier; and it is stated that it was performed at Finedon in 1720 by Croft, Hughes, Freeman and Baker. But it is a later copy, for it is in the hand of Cuthbert Brass (see below), and is to be dated c.1750. |
Date: | 1720 |
