There will always be differences of opinion about what constitutes a borrowing, as opposed to a chance resemblance or a parallel treatment occasioned by similar ideas in the verbal text. Many borderline cases are excluded here. Bar references are not given except where the borrowed passage is internal or difficult to find. Most concordances with instrumental works are omitted, since few of them can be exactly dated; but it is likely that some precede the use of the same material in the operas. Concordances with later works are likewise excluded. All music is by Handel unless another composer is named.

Numbers in brackets refer to Baselt's Verzeichnis (Händel-Handbuch, vol. 1). HWV numbers are given for cantatas and other smaller works.

Cantatas in Telemann's Harmonischer Gottes-Dienst are identified by ‘HGD’ followed by the number of the cantata in the edition by Gustav Fock: Der Harmonische Gottesdienst. 72 Solokantaten in Telemann: Musikalische Werke (Vols 2–5; Kassel, 1953–7).

This appendix owes a substantial debt to Dr John H. Roberts, who has corrected and supplemented it from his extensive knowledge of the subject.
