- Barnard, Rev. John
[E] Barnard, Rev. John, divine, who lived
during the 16th and 17th centuries. He was
Miiaor-canon of St. Paul's Cathedral in the
time of Charles I.
Barnard is famed as having been the first to
issue a collection of Cathedral music. His
collection of " Cathedral Music " appeared in
1641, and contains services, anthems, etc., by
Tallis, Gibbons, Mundy (W.), Parsons, Bird,
Morley, Tye, Bull, etc. The only perfect copy
of this work is contained in the library of
Hereford Cathedral. Its title is, "The First
Book of Selected Church Music, consisting of
Services and Anthems, such as are now used
in the cathedral and collegiate churches of
this kingdom ; never before printed, whereby
such Books as were heretofore, with much
difficulty and charges, transcribed for the
use of the Quire, are now, to the saving
of much Labour and Expense, published for
the general good of all such as shall desire
them either for public or private exercise.
