These four-part pieces by the well-known English gambist and composer John Jenkins come from a manuscript collection that has been known for some time and is kept in the Staats- und Universitätsbibliothek Hamburg.
They have remained unpublished until now because the collection lacks a part book and no other versions of these pieces are known. For our edition, the proven Jenkins connoisseur Andrew Ashbee has reconstructed the missing part, bass 1, created a realisation for the basso continuo and written an informative preface.
The scoring with two treble and two bass viols is not unusual for Jenkins. The treble parts are often lively and can also be played on violins. The basses are somewhat less active and alternately contain the basso continuo. The music is harmonically interesting, imaginative and very sonorous.
