Adding to the major corpus of the composer’s music for strings issued in previous volumes, the seventeen fantasia-suites of VdGS Group I, for treble, bass and organ, with the ten fantasia-suites of Group II already in MB78, are amongst Jenkins’s earliest compositions in this form, following in structure but not technique the example of fantasia-suites by John Coprario. The two suites of Group IV, also for treble, bass and organ, match the nine fantasia-suites of Group III published in MB90, and like those works display a similar high level of instrumental virtuosity in their divisions. With the publication of MB104, all eight series of the composer’s fantasia-suites are now available in Musica Britannica.
