The Chilcot pieces are similar in style to those of Handel and Loeillet. Handel's suite HWV 454 is an early work. Bustijn was Flemish and was admired by Bach. The Aylesford pieces were first published in 1928. They were assembled by Jennens, Handel's librettist, who left them to his cousin, the Earl of Aylesford, in 1773.

I have varied the material on the repeats, as was the custom.
