"(P.S.) I cannot help regarding the loss of Mrs. Arne with a kind of filial sorrow; she was the last survivor among those to whom I attached the idea of a parent. I lost my poor mother about 12 years ago, at the great age of 86. This letter must not be sealed before I have added my compliments and good wishes for the health of Miss Cecilia, sincerely hoping she will continue a constant source of comfort to you to your lives' end!"

Arne composed many pieces for the "Nobleman's Catch Club"; thirty-seven of these are printed in "Warren's Collection" and in "Vocal Harmony." Fifteen are English and Italian Catches, fourteen are Glees, and eight are Canons. There are published numerous songs, concertos, sonatas for harpsichord, and for violins and harpsichord. These are not dated in the foregoing list. In his orchestral compositions Arne employed piccolo, flutes, clarinets, bassoons, horns, trumpets and drums in addition to the usual strings, violins, violas, violetta, violoncelli, double-basses and harp. He used the device of pizzicato and of sordino; he also occasionally labelled imitative passages, for example, "The Owl," in "Where the bee sucks." He used the abbreviation [Music] for [Music]; possibly he introduced it.
