# List of compositions by Frederic Austin

Frederic Austin did not assign opus numbers to any of his music. His published output (apart from The Beggar's Opera, Polly and Perviligium Veneris) consists mainly of song settings for solo voice or chorus, while most of his major orchestral and other works remain in manuscript (see the 'MS' column). Most of Austin's works can be accurately dated, though some (mostly lacking an extant MS) are undated: see the 'Year' column.
