Water Music

Album by George Frideric Handel & The English Concert & Trevor Pinnock

Water Music is a collection of orchestral suites by German-born composer George Frideric Handel, composed and first performed in 1717. The work is characteristic of the Baroque era, featuring dance movements, horn- and trumpet-led fanfares and varied orchestration for winds and strings, and it was presented as a public performance for royal occasions during Handel's early London career.
