This title was first published in 2002: Burghley House, Stamford,
was built between 1555 and 1587 for William Cecil, Lord Burghley,
the Lord High Treasurer to Queen Elizabeth I. The library there
contains an extensive collection of manuscript and printed music
dating from about 1650 to 1850, substantially formed during the
latter part of the 18th century by the Ninth Earl of Exeter. The
collection is given particular significance by the inclusion of
several rare and in some cases apparently unique volumes. This
catalogue examines the Burghley House music collection in the light
of contemporary documentary evidence. The opening section describes
the people who added to the collection and their musical
enthusiasms. This approach brings the collection to life and also
enables us to appreciate emergent trends in British music history
of the period. With each entry fully described and the printed
music referenced to RISM or CPM, this catalogue should form a
valuable reference source for all scholars of British music from
the 17th to the 19th century.
