I love some of the chants attributed to Michael Wise and Henry Purcell, but I don't know whether they are authentic or bogus. (I'm not thinking of the one Turle adapted from My beloved Spake, but of the single chants.) Is there any standard view on this? Sorry, moving off the repertoire of this evensong broadcast a little, but it's so rare to have a chance to discuss this sort of topic with people who might know.

I don't know about Wise, but I've seen some Purcell singles in a manuscript copied by Benjamin Cooke, so I guess they're genuine. I would be sceptical about any double by Purcell though.

It's all in this rather interesting book.

Done.
