John Dalton adapted John Milton's dramatic poem Comus for the stage, with music by Thomas Arne, in 1744. The following year, Handel was asked to add some new music for a performance at Exton Hall, Rutland, and he composed three airs and a chorus. This is the first published score of the version which was performed at Exton Hall in June 1745 with music by both Arne and Handel.
