was awarded the Glee and Catch Club's prize for the glee One Night When All the Village Slept. Other glee and catch compositions include "Alone on the Sun-Beaten Rock", Buds of Roses (which was awarded the gold medal by the Glee and Catch Club in 1813), and the tuneful catch Come Buy my Cherries, popularly known as The Dublin Cries. Stevenson composed some airs for O'Keeffe's Dead Alive in 1780, which was performed with success in June 1781. Stevenson's songs include, among others, Faithless Emma (written for John Spray), Dearest Ellen, better known from its opening line "When the rosebud of summer", and O Ever Skilled, written before Stevenson received his knighthood. Stevenson composed music for the comic opera Love in a Blaze (after Lafont), which was first performed in Crow Street Theatre, Dublin, on 29 May 1799, and The Patriot, or Hermit of Saxellen (1810). Stevenson's glee They Play'd in Air was performed at the inaugural concert of the Handel and Haydn Society in Boston, Massachusetts, in December 1815. Stevenson is perhaps best known for his collaboration with Thomas Moore (1779–1852) in several musical works, to which he provided piano accompaniments: the Irish Melodies (ten volumes, 1808–34), The Sacred Melodies (published in periodical numbers, 1808–34), and National Airs (first edition 1815). Differences arose between Moore and Stevenson as may be seen in the correspondence of Moore edited in 1852 by Lord John Russell, and after the seventh number of Irish Melodies the music was provided by Sir Henry Bishop (1786–1855). Despite this, Thomas Moore wrote a memorial poem for Stevenson entitled Silence is in our Festal Halls. By 1825, Stevenson had composed a large quantity of church music amounting to twenty-six anthems and eight service settings, not to mention chants, double chants, hymns and the oratorio The Thanksgiving, a "pasticcio" from several of his other anthems. In 1825, a selection of his cathedral works was printed in two volumes and published by James Power of The Strand, London, with a dedication to George IV. Three service settings in C, E flat and F, twelve anthems as well as twelve double chants and a set of Responses for Holy Days were selected for publication. Addison issued a reprint of these two volumes some years later, in which each anthem and service was published separately. John Hullah reprinted the concluding chorus The Lord is my Strength from the anthem I am
