A Handlist of the Sources of John Jenkins’ Vocal and Instrumental Music

Abstract

This handlist is designed to show what survives of John Jenkins’ enormous output of instrumental music. Details of manuscripts and printed books and their location are given, with available information on modern editions. Vast numbers of MSS survive, many of them duplicate copies of the same pieces. They vary in quality and completeness. A brief outline of the matters relevant to the selection of the best source for any given work may therefore be useful.
