The organ voluntaries, double or cornet voluntaries and psalm-tune settings by John Blow form a substantial corpus of material – 48 pieces in all – that sheds much light on the developing keyboard style of the late 17th century. Predominantly serious and contrapuntal, they bear witness to the technical mastery of their composer and to his role as an important influence in Restoration musical life.

A collection of 16 pieces from this volume, selected by Barry Cooper, is available separately in our Early Keyboard series (ref. K43). In addition, any individual work from MB69 is available in printed or digital (PDF) format on request ([email protected]).
