General information
The second of 3 volumes Published London 1768 on subscription.
Editor: William Boyce
Size: 40cm high × 30cm wide.
Pages: 306 with additional end papers.
Comment: Boyce was often very creative in his editing of the older works included in this collection, in effect adapting his sources to mid-18th Century taste. This is perhaps most obvious in Aldrich's "Out of the deep", where part of the original source (in the Christ Church Library) has been put online. He also usually included his own figured bass or (in the case of verse anthems) reduced the instrumental accompaniment to keyboard.
