 Unfortunately, very little attention has been given to Hardebeck, who was one of the instigators in the revival of Irish music; indeed he was largely forgotten about after his death.This was possibly due to his mixed origins and place of birth.His arrangement for orchestra of "The Lark in the Clear Air" was a fine piece of music, but he was content to sell it to the music publishers Boosey & Hawkes for just six guineas.
