Description:
The Tabley House Song Book is a collection of songs with accompaniment for bass. The songs are bound with a printed copy of Ayres and dialogues, for one, two and three voyces by Henry Lawes and with Select musicall ayres and dialogues, both published by John Playford in 1653. As with the Lute Book, the Song Book manuscript was perhaps copied in Cheshire c. 1660-70. There are pieces ascribed to Edward Coleman, Henry Lawes, Locke, Rovetta, John Wilson, as well as Henry Purcell. Also in the Song Book is the only known composition by Thomas Purcell (brother of Henry). Binding: full-bound in brown leather. The spine and lower cover are finished with blind-tooled lines.
