William Selby (1738–1798)

A Fuge or Voluntary Back

William Selby, born in England, was one of the first composers to emigrate to America and was organist at King's Chapel, Boston. This fugue, as it's now spelled, is also a voluntary, an English term for an instrumental piece of church service music.
