"This canon for four voices is included as an example by Purcell in the twelfth edition of ''An Introduction to the Skill of Musick'' (London, 1694). Purcell writes: "This canon of four in one is a ''Gloria Patri'' of Dr. Blow's, whose character is sufficiently known by his works, of which this very instance is enough to recommend him for one of the greatest masters in the world.""
