From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pieter Hellendaal (1 April 1721 – 19 April 1799) was an Anglo-Dutch composer, organist and violinist. He was sometimes distinguished with the suffix "The Elder", after the maturity of his musician son, Pieter Hellendaal the Younger.
At age 30, he migrated to England where he lived for the last 48 of his 78 years. He was one of the most famous composers of Dutch origin in the 18th century.

Once again, thanks so much for this post, and all others that post utube music of interest on FR. What a treat for the ears!
It seems to me that much of music peaked in the 18th century.
