Sir Bulstrode Whitelocke's manuscript account of the performance of James Shirley's The Triumphs of Peace includes a reference to the 'Blackefryar's Musicke, who were then esteemed the best of common musitians in London.' Whitelock notes that he himself composed a short piece, with the assistance of Mr Ives, called 'Whitelocke's Coranto,' which was performed publicly for the first time by the Blackfriars musicians, and which they played again each time Whitelock visited the Blackfriars playhouse.
