The Water Music in Three Suites Complete

Album by George Frideric Handel & Gerard Schwarz & Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra

The Water Music in Three Suites (Complete) is a set of orchestral suites by George Frideric Handel, composed in 1717. The music exemplifies Baroque orchestral style with dance-based movements, prominent brass and continuo textures and lively rhythms intended for outdoor ceremonial performance, and it represents an important example of Handel's public and courtly compositions.
