Much of the manuscript music, some of it quite extensive, is presumably in the hands of the various performers but the two opera scores in particular are in a more professional and practised hand, perhaps continental.It is difficult to date much of the music as the printed material is generally not dated, although the publishers and their addresses are always prominently advertised, e.g. Goulding, Phipps & D’Almaine of 76 St James’s Street, publishers to the Prince & Princess of Wales (before 1820).Similar scores can be found in the Bodleian Library among the Tenbury manuscripts.Other (printed) dramatic music includes The Haunted Tower, by Stephen Storace; The Duenna by Thomas Linley and Rosina, by William Shield (1771/2, first performed 1782), pub. by J. Dale
