Water Music, Suites Nos. 1-3 / Wassermusik, Suiten Nr. 1-3

Album by George Frideric Handel

Water Music, Suites Nos. 1-3 (Wassermusik, Suiten Nr. 1-3) is a collection of orchestral suites by George Frideric Handel, composed in 1717. Scored for a baroque orchestra with prominent strings, brass and woodwind, and comprising a sequence of dance-derived movements with lively rhythms and stately fanfares suited to outdoor performance, the work exemplifies Handel's early-18th-century instrumental style and his involvement in public ceremonial music.
