Richard Mudge (born 1718 in Bideford; died April 1763 in Bedworth) was an English clergyman and composer of the late baroque period.
[1] The third of five children, he was educated at Pembroke College, Oxford, from 1735, graduating BA in 1738 and MA in 1741.
Initially the private chaplain to Heneage Finch, Lord Guernsey (later 3rd Earl of Aylesford), Mudge became curate of the villages of Great and Little Packington in 1741.
All these works show the influence of Handel and Francesco Geminiani, and they were staples of the provincial music society repertoire.
A recording of the complete set was made by the Swiss Capriccio Barockorchester in 2009 on the Tudor label.
