File
Reference Code: GBR/0012/MS Dd.04.60
Scope and Contents
A series of 1163 canons upon the plain-song 'Miserere' constructed by George Waterhouse. The old church-melody ‘Miserere’ is written at the head of each page on a stave of four lines; and between the two parts, forming each of the 1163 accompaniments, the words ‘2 parts in one’ are written. This phrase indicates that the two parts between which it is placed are to be sung together as an accompaniment to the plain song. On the last leaf there is a short list of errata.
