Aims
Tudor Partbooks: The Manuscript Legacies of John Sadler, John Baldwin and their Antecedents
The Tudor Partbooks project aims to:
- make Tudor polyphonic music manuscripts publically available through the digitization of the key partbook sets and their concordances (via the DIAMM website)
- undertake and publish holistic studies of these manuscripts
- improve our understanding of the practices of Tudor music scribes
- return the Sadler partbooks to full readability via digital restoration
- restore the Baldwin partbooks through the provision of a new tenor partbook
- explore, through practice-led research, the most effective methods for reconstructing missing voice-parts
