Phillip Sear plays a lively hunting song from a sonatina by the English composer Matthew Camidge (1764–1844)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Camidge was a member of a dynasty of York organists who were prominent in the life of York Minster from the mid-1700s to the mid-1800s.  Camidge, who was organist at the Minster from 1799 to 1842, was apparently a brilliant improviser.  He wrote various sonatinas and sonatas for keyboard, mostly with an accompaniment for violin (very much in a supporting role, as illustrated by the example here: http://bit.ly/1SVLCXm ).  This is an enjoyable excerpt from one of the sonatinas, which I recorded to help a viewer who was, at the time of recording, learning it for a test.
