in 1964 in which he announced the discovery of a previously unknown ode. The Noise of Foreign Wars is preserved as a fragment at Tatton Park, Cheshire, in a four-volume manuscript collection copied mainly by Philip Hayes (1738^1797), Professor of Music at Oxford, and afterwards owned by Samuel Arnold (1740^1802), composer, conductor of the Academy of Ancient Music, and an indefatigable promoter of older repertory. 1 Nearly all the works in the books are attributed to Purcell, and concordances support the attributions. Hayes identified several of his sources, which include extant Purcell autographs and other copies closely associated with the composer. 2 The appearance of the The Noise of Foreign Wars amid so much music securely attributed to Purcell, the reliability of Hayes's named sources, and aspects of musical style led Nigel to conclude that Purcell was the likely composer, although the piece is unattributed in the Tatton Park manuscript. Subsequent scholars have sought confirmation of Purcell's authorship and, although a definitive attribution has yet to be made, the most recent research strongly supports Nigel's hypothesis. 3 Less attention has been paid to how these volumes, compiled and owned by male professionals and devotees of 'ancient music', made their way to a country-house library as a gift to a female amateur, Elizabeth Sykes Egerton, in the early nineteenth century.
