Samenvatting:

The English cantata would retain a place on recitals and benefit concerts throughout the eighteenth century, performed in venues as diverse as the parlors private homes, the stages of opera houses, and the pleasure gardens of Vauxhall, of Ranelagh, and Marylebone. Composers such as Galliard, Henry Carey, John Stanley, Thomas Ame, William Boyce, Thomas Linley Jr., and James Hook would continue to compose English cantatas until the decline of the genre around 1790.
