Collection Overview

Collection Description & Creator Information

Scope and Contents

Fascinating manuscripts, apparently autograph, of anthems by Thomas Ebdon (1738-1811). Ebdon was born in Durham, began as a cathedral chorister at the age of nine, and became the cathedral organist there in 1763: he remained in this position apparently until his death. He was a prolific composer of sacred music, but also composed glees, sonatas and concertos. The present albums date from late in his career: each composition is dated, and assigned to him, at the beginning, with the dates varying from August 1807 to January 1809.
