possession, of the Jubilate as privately printed and
leather-bound for presentation to the late Sir Edward
Heath on the occasion of the Royal Albert Hall
centenary concert, 29 March 1971, at which the work was
sung. It was presented by Sir Adrian Boult in the
presence of the Queen (see photograph on Albert Hall
website). This copy is, in turn, a facsimile of the
text in The Collected Compositions of HRH The Prince
Consort, ed. W.G.Cusins (1882?).
