Alfred the Great, a drama for music. Formerly Composed by Command of his late Royal Highness the Prince of Wales. And Performed at Cliefdon, on the Birth-Day of her Royal Highness the Princess Augusta. The Musical Part of this Performance being then too short for an Evening's Entertainment of itself, the drama is new written, greatly improved from Mr. Mallet's play; and the music (excepting two or three things, which being particular Favourites at Cliefdon, are retained by Desire) new composed by Mr. Arne.
