1Taylor was commissioned to compose for many English festivals, and the results of these commissions were well received, but no notable works were forthcoming. Later some choral works, notably A Tale of Old Japan, achieved considerable popular success. Following these, he produced incidental music for a number of romantic plays. His activities were largely confined to the conductorship of the Handel Society and the direction of his own works at festivals. He did considerable teaching in and around Croydon. Three visits were made to America (1904-6-19) as conductor of his works. His last composition of any importance, a violin concerto, was heard at a festival in Norfolk, Conn. At various times he was adjudicator at English competition festivals, and during the last year of his life was appointed to the teaching staff of the Guildhall School of Music.

39Collections of Musical Instruments. The collecting of musical curiosities was not gone about in as systematic and intelligent a way several centuries ago as it is today. Collections were made more for practical purposes than for historical reasons; however, that there was considerable interest in gathering instruments of music for other than the expression of musical ideas is shown by such collections as those at the Museum of Manfred Septala of Milan, at the Museum of Alfonso II at Ferrara, of King Henry VIII of England, of the Archduke Ferdinand of Austria, of the Venetian Contarini, of Ferdinand de Medici at Florence, and of Dandelau in Flanders during the 16th and 17th centuries.
