Appendix:

JAMES HASELTINE (?)

This piece is found in one of the many manuscripts of the Handel/Coke collection. The manuscript dates from 1714. It may be the work of James Haseltine who was organist of Durham Cathedral from 1711 to 1763, but so far there is no way of knowing for sure (source: Grant Colburn / imslp.org)

  NOTE: The last few bars are not in the original music as they are an improvisation by F. De Luca; please refer to the sheet music edited by Grant Colburn (see references on the right side of this page).
