I think this is first video with composition by English composer and organist William Croft arranged for guitar here.
Croft (1678 – 1727) was educated at the Chapel Royal. First he became organist of St. Anne's Church, Soho and later organist and 'Gentleman extraordinary' at the Chapel Royal. Croft was composing for organ and harpsichord, he also wrote various violin sonatas. His " Funeral Sentences" was performed at the funerals of Diana, Princess of Wales in 1997 and Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother in 2002.
Inspired by sheet music I found here on https://www.veojam.com/scores I did research for some example video.
Ground in C Minor originally composed for harpsichord was arranged for classical guitar by Richard Yates, in video performed by American guitarist Brandon J. Acker. Brandon plays also lute, baroque guitar and theorbo.

Simply beautifully played. Exactly as I imagined it but never quite got so polished. Is it possible to download the video?
