Overture: Erskine (Earl of Kelly) Act 1
| Act 2
| Act 3
|
First published in Edinburgh in 1759, this London re-issue(?) of songs from Allan Ramsay's pastoral comedy may have been prompted by the popularity of Richard Tickell's adaptation of the same for the London stage in 1781, with music specially composed by Thomas Linley Sr. The songs - and their tunes - are listed below (each in its original un-Anglicised form) courtesy of Rob Mackillop:

Br 09/2 [ALCIDES][Note to subscribers]:
'As the Opera of Alcides is very little known, the following Anecdote, may not be unacceptable to the subscribers. Alcides was intended to have been represented at the Theatre Royal in Covent Garden, the singers were to have been Miss Young, Mrs. Faulkener, Mrs. Arne, Mr. Waltz, and Mr. Lowe. In order to bring it forward with every possible degree of elegance, Mr. Rich, then Manager, engaged the famous Servendoni to paint the scenes; the Opera however from some accident was never performed, nor the paintings ever exhibited during the life of Mr. Rich, except to a few of his select friends. When the property of that Theatre came into the hands of Mr. Colman &c., he presented the Editor with a score of the Opera, and publickly exhibited two of the most capital scenes, one, the Court of Pluto in the Rape Of Proserpine, and the other as the drawing room of Venus, in the Golden Pippin. - Part of the Musick, which was too precious to be buried in oblivion, Handel afterwards used in the Choice of Hercules.'
