"[Crotch] was an exceptional child prodigy and became one of the most distinguished English musicians of his day ... In London [he] became well known as a teacher, composer and scholar... In April 1812 came the performance of his oratorio Palestine, his most conspicuously successful work. It was repeated many times in London and the provinces, though Crotch never printed the score and charged 200 guineas for the loan of the instrumental parts and his own attendance as conductor at each performance. ... His contemporary reputation was founded on his oratorio Palestine, the first even moderately successful oratorio composed in England since Handel's day." Nicholas Temperley and Simon Heighes in Grove Music Online.
