| Description: |
As organist at Peterhouse, Cambridge, in the 1630s one of Wilson’s duties must have been to provide music for the services sung in the college chapel under John Cosin’s high-church regime. The copy of the five-part setting of the Venite (SAATB) for morning service in the Peterhouse partbooks is dated 1636, soon after the young composer arrived in Cambridge. The four-part Magnificat and Nunc dimittis (SATB) for evening service also included in this volume could be contemporary or perhaps slightly later. The editor has recomposed the vocal part missing from the Venite. iv + 16 pages. ISMN 979-0-57039-178-3.
