Water Music / Feux d'artifice

Album by George Frideric Handel & Residentie Orkest & Willem van Otterloo

Water Music / Feux d'artifice is a pair of orchestral suites by George Frideric Hændel, composed in 1717 and 1749. They exemplify Baroque orchestral writing, featuring stately dance movements, bright trumpet and horn fanfares and flowing string textures conceived for outdoor royal ceremonies, and they occupy an important place in Hændel's output as large-scale ceremonial music.
