"Stevens originally composed this glee for men's voices. At the request of one Miss Thurlows, he subsequently adapted it for a mixed choir, by transposing it up a fifth and revising some of the dispositions. When the latter version was published it was reviewed in The Analytical Review in the following terms: "The harmony of this composition is so good as to exhibit the perfect theorist; also in its melody it displays a tolerable imagination; and is calculated to please both the learned and unlearned hearer". The solo version is of unknown provenance but is probably a posthumous redraft."
