"Three of the tune titles on the wings, are found in the entry for Parks Hunter in the Sheet Music Library, so maybe it is Mays and Hunter."

Steven Watson replied to Joel Hooks's discussion Sheaff arranged "Gavotte", G. F. Handel Title?

Steven Watson replied to Joel Hooks's discussion Sheaff arranged "Gavotte", G. F. Handel Title?
