Reading edition
Master Norris had been a chorister in Salisbury Cathedral; he was born in 1741, and seems to have continued singing soprano up to 1762. His voice must have been in a transition state. He sang at the Gloucester Festival of 1766 as a tenor. He became organist of Christ Church Cathedral, Oxford; a Mus. Bac., and a singer of good repute.
