Water Music

Album by George Frideric Handel & Academy of St Martin in the Fields & Sir Neville Marriner

Water Music is a collection of orchestral suites by George Frideric Handel, first performed in 1717. Composed in the Baroque style for outdoor ceremonial performance on the River Thames, the suites feature energetic dance movements, brass fanfares and buoyant orchestration and sit within Handel's early London output as an example of his music written for public occasions.
