A PIECE of music written by Mozart in the 1780s has been discovered in a council records office.
The adaptation of Handel's oratorio Judas Maccabaeus was discovered when an academic researching an article on music in Georgian Halifax sifted through documents at Calderdale council's records office in West Yorkshire.
