Papers of Thomas H Collinson, organist of St Mary's (Episcopal) Cathedral and conductor of the Edinburgh Royal Choral Union.
Scope and Contents
The contents are as follows.
(i) Unfinished copy of 'Thou O God art praised in Sion' (Psalm 65) by Thomas H Collinson, an exercise for the degree of Bachelor of Music, Oxford, 1877 (folio 1), followed by drafts of several of the sections (folio 68). The unfinished parts of the scoring have been supplied in pencil, apparently by the composer's son Francis M Collinson. Folios 21-24 appear to be from an earlier copy in the composer's autograph.

(iii) Communion Service in B flat, undated (folio 83); setting for bass and keyboard of Psalm 70 (folio 101); various letters and printed papers 1904, 1907, 1913-1914, 1927-1928, undated (folio 103).
