Career
Among the most popular of his glees are Awake, AEolian lyre! and Let Gaiety Sparkle. However near the end of his life he suffered from paralysis of the limbs. He died at the age of 41 during a benefit concert which had been arranged for him by his friends.
They used the money raised to erect a monument to him in the Old Saint Pancras cemetery.
The monument was lost or removed during the 19th century but his name is listed on Baroness Burdett Coutts memorial in the graveyard, listing the eminent graves lost.
