The following lists provide information regarding the ‘music meetings’ held in Cambridge and Oxford during the period 1733–1844; after the latter date no further festivals were held in either university city for many years. Once again my sources have been mainly the provincial newspapers. (See R.M.A. Research Chronicle No. 5 (1965), for lists of the Salisbury and Winchester Festivals.)

This list was compiled in connection with a study of amateur music-making in London during the later seventeenth century which forms part of my Ph. D work in the Music Faculty of King's College, London. While attempting to discover just what instruments amateur musicians of that time favoured, and what standard of efficiency they might be likely to reach on them, I made a close study of the extant instrumental tutors for the period. The material proved to be so fascinating that I extended the dates, and the result is the list printed here.

The following amendments and additions relate to the Register of Theses on Music published in Research Chronicle No. 3 (1963), p. 1, and to the Supplement published in No.4 (1964), p. 93. The list of additions includes projects begun or formalised since No.4 went to press, and also a few others which were entered previously, but whose title has now changed significantly.
