William Hamilton Bird

The Oriental Miscellany; being a collection of the most favourite airs of Hindoostan, compiled and adapted for the Harpsichord consists of about 30 pieces plus a flute sonata.

[2] The first edition of Bird's work was dedicated to Warren Hastings, the de facto Governor-General of India from 1773 to 1785.

Katherine Butler Schofield has examined the evidence that Plowden was Bird's source for some of the tunes he published.

She compiled her own collection of airs from the court of Lucknow, a manuscript which is preserved in the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge.

[7][5] The British label Signum Classics released a recording of the "Oriental Miscellany" in 2015 featuring the harpsichordist Jane Chapman.
