Can anybody help with further references? And if you have the actual quote it would be wonderful. (I’m not seeking anything from the 20th century at this point.)

I'm sure that there are many musical works also. So far the only one I have listed is Poro, Re Dell' Indie, an opera by Handel (1731). Help would be appreciated here as well. Marcus, haven’t you been collecting music on Alexander?
Best regards,
