He died Oct. 22,1802. His published works are numerous, including four oratorios, eight odes, three serenatas, forty-seven operas, three birlettas, and other pieces. His most famous oratorio was that of the Prodigal Son. His Cathedral Music (4 vols.) is still popular. At the particular request of George III, he superintended the publication of a magnificent edition of all the works of Handel, in score, of which he completed thirty-six folio volumes.
