Water Music Suites 1&2

Album by George Frideric Handel & Nürnberger Symphoniker

Water Music Suites 1 & 2 is a collection of orchestral suites by George Frideric Handel, first performed in 1717. The suites comprise energetic Baroque orchestral movements featuring horn fanfares, dance forms and buoyant rhythmic textures intended for outdoor royal procession, and they illustrate Handel's role in shaping early 18th-century English court music.
