Handel: The Water Music Suites

Album by George Frideric Handel & Philharmonica Symphony Orchestra

The Water Music is a collection of orchestral suites by George Frideric Handel, composed and first performed in 1717. Rooted in the Baroque style, the suites comprise a series of dance-based movements scored for strings, horns and woodwinds with bright, outdoor-orientated textures and rhythmic vitality, forming part of Handel's corpus of public ceremonial and courtly music.
