;;36 Researches of a Musical Antiquarian [March 18, 



how this great man should have been so long neglected by musicians 

 and by historians. 



His Motets are really almost as advanced as much of Purcell's 

 music. But I have not time now to dwell upon that. I am sure 

 you will be glad to hear this Fancy. Like the others it begins with 

 a short contrapuntal symphony, and is scored for five viols and four 

 voices. 



There are a few very humorous Cries in this Fancy — the Corn 

 Cutter, and the Dentist, who calls himself by the encouraging name 

 of " Kindheart, the tooth-drawer." 



[J. F. B.]
