Water Music
Album by George Frideric Handel & Akademie für Alte Musik Berlin
Water Music is a collection of orchestral suites by George Frideric Handel, composed and first performed in 1717. The work is representative of Baroque orchestral suite writing, consisting of dance movements scored for strings and an expanded wind section intended for outdoor performance and forming part of Handel's early London output as he developed public ceremonial and instrumental music.
