John Blow: suites and grounds

[Woodpecker]

Hi,

I'd love to see some more works by possibly England's greatest keyboard composer, John Blow.

In particular:

Suite No. 1 in D minor (keyboard)
Suite No. 2 in D minor (keyboard)
Suite No. 3 in A minor (keyboard)
Suite No. 4 in C (keyboard)
Suite No. 5 in D minor (keyboard)
Suite No. 6 in G minor (keyboard)

Dr Blow's Ground in Gamutt Flatt, G minor (keyboard)
Mortlack's/Mortlake's Ground (keyboard version)
Ground in D minor (keyboard)
Ground in C major (keyboard)

(None of his suites are available, and the only grounds on IMSLP so far are those in G major and E minor. I fact, there are very few of Blow's works present.)

I have already posted this request on the wiki wish list.

Thanks

Thanks for the feedback.

The first item you mention looks to be the same volume as is already on IMSLP. It doesn't include any of the pieces I listed.
The second item I'm looking forward to.

I have this book in PDF format.

But I'm afraid this isn't PD.

I notice that the State Library of Berlin (Stabikat) has several works by John Blow (and collections containing his works) digitized in their catalog (e.g. Deliciæ musicæ 1695). I'll see if any of them are the works you listed...
