Bis vor kurzem konzentrierten sich die RISM-Daten für das Vereinigte Königreich auf die Bestände der großen Forschungsbibliotheken wie der British Library, der Cambridge University Library und der Bodleian Library in Oxford. Nun wird RISM durch das Projekt [Music, Heritage, Place: Unlocking the Musical Collections of England’s County Record Offices](https://www.royalholloway.ac.uk/research-and-teaching/departments-and-schools/music/research/research-projects-and-centres/music-heritage-place/){:blank} erweitert. Dieses zweijährige Projekt wird von [Stephen Rose](https://pure.royalholloway.ac.uk/en/persons/stephen-rose){:blank} an der [Royal Holloway, University of London](http://www.rhul.ac.uk/music){:blank} in Zusammenarbeit mit zehn Partnerorganisationen, darunter die Newcastle University, geleitet und vom britischen [Arts and Humanities Research Council](https://gtr.ukri.org/projects?ref=AH%2FY001354%2F1){:blank} finanziert. Das Projekt erstellt RISM-Datensätze für musikalische Quellen zwischen ca. 1550 und ca. 1850 in den lokalen Archiven Englands. Ausgewählte Quellen werden digitalisiert, darunter [volkstümliche Musikmanuskripte aus Hampshire](https://archive.org/search?query=creator%3A%22Unlocking+Hampshire%27s+Musical+Heritage%2C+a+collaboration+between+Royal+Holloway+University+of+London+and+Hampshire+Archives%22){:blank} dank der Unterstützung des Hampshire Archives Trust. Das Projekt wird bisher unbekannte Geschichten über das musikalische Leben in den Dörfern und Städten der Region aufdecken und Konzerte, öffentliche Vorträge und Workshops für Schulen organisieren, um das musikalische Erbe wieder mit den Gemeinden zu verbinden, in denen es entstanden ist. | ||

Die Grafschaften Englands sind seit der angelsächsischen Zeit Verwaltungsgebiete für die Kommunalverwaltung. Heute gibt es etwa 50 Grafschaftsarchive, in denen die Archive der lokalen Verwaltungen, Städte und Kirchen sowie die von privaten Familien geschenkten oder hinterlassenen Dokumente aufbewahrt werden. Unser Projekt konzentriert sich auf etwa 40 Archive mit bedeutenden Beständen an Musikalien. Diese Arbeit erforderte die Erstellung von 18 neuen RISM-Bibliothekssigel, von [GB-RRkk](https://rism.online/institutions/51007739){:blank} an der Südwestspitze Englands bis zu [GB-CLas](https://rism.online/institutions/51007740){:blank} nahe der nördlichen Grenze zu Schottland. Mehrere andere Sigel wurden überarbeitet, um den geänderten Standort oder Namen eines Archivs widerzuspiegeln. Unser Projekt hat bereits mehr als 2500 neue Datensätze in RISM aufgenommen, und viele weitere werden während der Projektlaufzeit bis 2026 folgen. | ||
|
||
Das Projekt schafft ein dezentraleres Bild von Englands Beständen an früher gedruckter Musik und macht Exemplare ausfindig, die sich nicht in den großen Forschungsbibliotheken befinden. Der RISM-Eintrag für John Cosyns _Musike of six and five parts_ (1585) verzeichnet bisher britische Exemplare in der British Library, der Bodleian Library und der Kathedrale von Winchester; wir haben nun Informationen über ein fragmentarisches Exemplar in Kresen Kernow, Redruth, Cornwall hinzugefügt ([RISM Catalog](https://opac.rism.info/search?id=990011617&View=rism){:blank} \| [RISM Online](https://rism.online/sources/990011617){:blank}). Solche Funde bereichern unser Verständnis davon, wie gedruckte Musik außerhalb der großen Zentren Englands erworben und genutzt wurde. | ||

Viele der Musikhandschriften in den lokalen Archiven stammen aus den Sammlungen von Pfarrkirchen. Im späten 18. und frühen 19. Jahrhundert verfügten diese Einrichtungen häufig über Kapellen mit Sängern und Instrumentalisten, die ein Repertoire der Musik des Abendlandes („West Gallery“-Musik) spielten. Beispiele aus der Zeit um 1800 sind die Hymnen- und Psalmenhandschriften aus Bramley in Hampshire ([RISM Catalog](https://opac.rism.info/search?id=ks51007581&View=rism){:blank} \| [RISM Online](https://rism.online/institutions/51007581){:blank}) sowie Stimmbücher mit Weihnachtsliedern aus Nether Wallop ([RISM Catalog](https://opac.rism.info/search?id=1001276557&View=rism){:blank}). \| [RISM Online](https://rism.online/sources/1001276557){:blank}). Lokale Archive verfügen auch über bedeutende Sammlungen privater Familien, von der Sammlung der Familie Harpur Crewe aus Calke Abbey (jetzt im [Derbyshire Record Office](https://rism.online/institutions/51007743){:blank}) bis zu den Musikmanuskripten der Frauen der Klavierbauerfamilie Broadwood (jetzt im [Surrey History Centre](https://rism.online/institutions/30006627){:blank}). | ||

Einige der interessantesten Quellen in lokalen Archiven sind sehr persönliche Dokumente: Musikalische Notizbücher oder Stimmbücher, die mit einer bestimmten Person in Verbindung stehen und oft reich an Eintragungen und Anmerkungen sind. Melodienbücher zeigen, wie eine Person die Musik ihrer Umgebung gesammelt und bearbeitet hat. Das Melodienbuch von Richard Pyle (ca. 1808-80), einem Bauern aus Nether Wallop in Hampshire, enthält Tänze, Psalmmelodien, Instrumentalduette, eine Hymne und Bearbeitungen von Melodien aus Londoner Theatern und aus Rossinis Oper _Tancredi_ ([RISM Catalog](https://opac.rism.info/search?id=1001274686&View=rism){:blank} \| [RISM Online](https://rism.online/sources/1001274686){:blank}). Das Buch von Pyle, das ab 1822 kopiert wurde, zeigt die Musik, die einem Bauern in einem kleinen Dorf etwa 130 km (80 Meilen) von London entfernt zur Verfügung stand. | ||

Wenig bekanntes oder neu entdecktes Material, das erst kürzlich im Rahmen des Projekts katalogisiert wurde, wird in der nächsten Nachricht besprochen, darunter Haydn-Manuskripte in Derbyshire und handschriftliche Kopien von Henry Purcells Kirchenmusik. Unser Projekt zeigt den immensen Wert der RISM-Datenbank nicht nur für internationale Forscher, sondern auch für lokale Historiker und Musiker, die ihr musikalisches Erbe verstehen wollen. | ||

Until recently, RISM’s records for the United Kingdom have focused on the holdings of major research libraries such as the British Library, Cambridge University Library and Oxford’s Bodleian Library. Now a richer and more decentralised record of musical sources in England is emerging on RISM through the project [Music, Heritage, Place: Unlocking the Musical Collections of England’s County Record Offices](https://www.royalholloway.ac.uk/research-and-teaching/departments-and-schools/music/research/research-projects-and-centres/music-heritage-place/){:blank}. This two-year project is led by [Stephen Rose](https://pure.royalholloway.ac.uk/en/persons/stephen-rose){:blank} at [Royal Holloway, University of London](http://www.rhul.ac.uk/music){:blank}, in collaboration with 10 partner organisations including Newcastle University, and is funded by the UK’s [Arts and Humanities Research Council](https://gtr.ukri.org/projects?ref=AH%2FY001354%2F1){:blank}. The project is creating RISM catalogue records for musical sources between c.1550 and c.1850 in England’s local archives. We are digitising selected sources, including [vernacular music manuscripts from Hampshire](https://archive.org/search?query=creator%3A%22Unlocking+Hampshire%27s+Musical+Heritage%2C+a+collaboration+between+Royal+Holloway+University+of+London+and+Hampshire+Archives%22){:blank} thanks to the support of the Hampshire Archives Trust. The project is uncovering previously untold stories of musical life in local villages and towns, and is organising concerts, public talks and schools workshops to reconnect this musical heritage with the communities where it originated. | ||
|
||
England’s counties have been administrative areas for local government since Anglo-Saxon times. Today there are about 50 county record offices, holding the archives of local government, towns and churches, as well as papers gifted or deposited by private families. Our project is focusing on about 40 record offices with significant holdings of notated music. This work has required the creation of 18 new RISM sigla, from [GB-RRkk](https://rism.online/institutions/51007739){:blank} at England’s south-west tip to [GB-CLas](https://rism.online/institutions/51007740){:blank} near the northern border with Scotland. Several other sigla have been revised to reflect the changed location or name of an archive. Our project has already added over 2500 new records to RISM, and many more will follow during the project’s duration until 2026. | ||
|
||
The project is creating a more decentralised picture of England’s holdings of early printed music, uncovering exemplars beyond those held at major research libraries. The RISM entry for John Cosyn’s _Musike of six and five parts_ (1585) previously listed UK copies at the British Library, Bodleian Library and Winchester Cathedral; we have now added holding information for a fragmentary exemplar in Kresen Kernow, Redruth, Cornwall ([RISM Catalog](https://opac.rism.info/search?id=990011617&View=rism){:blank} \| [RISM Online](https://rism.online/sources/990011617){:blank}). Such discoveries enrich our understanding of how printed music was acquired and used beyond the main centres of England. | ||

Many of the music manuscripts in local archives stem from the collections of parish churches. These institutions often had bands of singers and instrumentalists in the late 18th to early 19th centuries, playing a repertory of ‘West Gallery’ music. Examples from around 1800 include the manuscripts of anthems and psalms from Bramley in Hampshire ([RISM Catalog](https://opac.rism.info/search?id=ks51007581&View=rism){:blank} \| [RISM Online](https://rism.online/institutions/51007581){:blank}), along with partbooks of Christmas hymns from Nether Wallop ([RISM Catalog](https://opac.rism.info/search?id=1001276557&View=rism){:blank} \| [RISM Online](https://rism.online/sources/1001276557){:blank}). Local archives also hold significant collections from private families, ranging from the collection of the Harpur Crewe family of Calke Abbey (now held at [Derbyshire Record Office](https://rism.online/institutions/51007743){:blank}), to the music manuscripts of women from the Broadwood family of piano manufacturers (now held in [Surrey History Centre](https://rism.online/institutions/30006627){:blank}). | ||

Some of the most intriguing sources in local archives are deeply personal documents: musical notebooks or tune books associated with a specific individual, often rich in inscriptions and annotations. Tune books show how an individual collected and adapted the music around them. The tune book of Richard Pyle (c.1808–80), a gentleman farmer in Nether Wallop in Hampshire, includes country dances, psalm tunes, instrumental duos, an anthem, and arrangements of tunes from London theatres and from Rossini’s opera _Tancredi_ ([RISM Catalog](https://opac.rism.info/search?id=1001274686&View=rism){:blank} \| [RISM Online](https://rism.online/sources/1001274686){:blank}). Copied from 1822 onwards, Pyle’s book shows the music available to a farmer in a small village about 130 km (80 miles) from London. | ||

Little known or newly discovered material recently catalogued in the project will be discussed in the next news item, including Haydn manuscripts in Derbyshire and manuscript copies of church music by Henry Purcell. Our project demonstrates the immense value of the RISM catalogue not only to international researchers but also to local historians and musicians seeking to understand their musical heritage. | ||
