Water Music Suites 1, 2 & 3

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

Water Music Suites 1, 2 & 3 is a set of orchestral suites by George Frideric Handel, composed in 1717. They exemplify Baroque orchestral dance forms, employing horns, strings and continuo with contrasting sections and lively rhythms, and occupy a prominent place in Handel's English-period output as music written for outdoor ceremonial occasions.
