This Concerto Grosso is dated December 1969–January 1970 on the title page of the original manuscript. It contains material from an earlier Suite for 4 Bassoons which is dated August 1940. A subtitle reads "(more or less in the style of Handel) ", while one on the Suite reads "(adapted from Concerto Grosso in style of Handel for orchestra in F)".
