Water Music

Album by George Frideric Handel & English Baroque Soloists & Sir John Eliot Gardiner

Water Music is a suite of orchestral movements by George Frideric Handel, composed and first performed in 1717. The work exemplifies Baroque orchestral writing with dance-inspired movements scored for winds, brass and strings for outdoor ceremonial performance on the River Thames, and it reflects Handel's practice of composing large-scale music for court occasions and public entertainment.
