	About
		Fireworks' mission is to help masterworks from across the musical spectrum find new and larger audiences, and to create and nurture a canon of great new music by today's composers.
		Fireworks' flexible instrumentation, openness to music in all of its diverse forms, and dedication to presenting contemporary works at the highest level provides today's composers with the greatest freedom of expression for their ideas.
		Fireworks' acclaimed, rock-inspired recording of Stravinsky's "The Rite of Spring" (2003) has enjoyed critical praise and radio play worldwide from Soundcheck on WNYC in New York, to La Otra Musica in Spain, to Radio Rock in Italy.

	CD Baby: FIREWORKS: The Rite of Spring
		This arrangement of Igor Stravinsky's The Rite of Spring for Fireworks is breath-taking.
		Fireworks looks and sounds like a rock band, but performs with the virtuosity and sensitivity of a classical chamber music ensemble.
		Fireworks doesn't try that, they create their own version, by acting like an 8 piece chamber orchestra with rock-instruments.

	SACD News: New Telarc SACD of Handel's Royal Fireworks & Water Music [HFR]
		The SACD of Handel's Music for Royal Fireworks and Water Music was issued on February 13th approximately 2 weeks ahead of the CD version release date of February 25th.
		Music for the Royal Fireworks came about when King George II commissioned Handel to compose a work to accompany the fireworks display celebrating the signing of the treaty of Aix-la-Chapelle.
		Handel’s Water Music is a collection of three suites in different keys and for different instrumentation, and was originally written to serenade King George I up the Thames River to a dinner party.

		The royal fireworks were to celebrate the Peace of Aix-la-Chapelle, concluded the previous October to end the War of Austrian Succession (1740-48).
		A huge crowd came to the rehearsal on 21 April 1849; at the festivity the fireworks display caught fire, and that part of the occasion fizzled.
		However the in- or out-of-print status of the Royal Fireworks recordings is at present highly volatile: in the summer of 1998, the Essential Classics series was promoting a third rendition, by the Chamber Soloists of Washington (Edward Carroll conducting; Sony Classical SB2K 63269).

		Although the music is not really meant for dancing (they merely borrowed the form from the French), the dynamism and 'push' of the dance is a key ingredient of the music.
		His instrumental music, good as they are, is only an indication of the wealth and worth of vocal music that has come from his pen; for Handel's magic is his ability to engage the public with his art.
		When Handel combines words with his music, the Italian dramatism of his operas, the Germanic power of his Hanoverian roots join with that cosmopolitan spirit of the English to create music that is honest without being superficial, simple yet filled with enormous grandeur.

		When it comes to George Frederic Handel's music, both orchestral and operatic, the words that best describe the tone and overall impression of the music are elegant, regal, grand and sublimely beautiful.
		This is music fit for European royalty as it was indeed first performed for the King of England's boat ride on the Thames river.
		Maybe it's because he feels the music is, in part, English in spirit, since Handel spent most of his career in London, though he was born in Germany.

		In contrast, the Royal Fireworks Music is fresh, lively, and alert.
		The Orpheus Chamber Orchestra's Water Music (on DG) has all the playfulness and spirit that's missing from the Paillard, and their Fireworks Suite (in the more familiar version with winds and strings) is every bit as exciting and colorful.
		However, the most satisfying of all versions of the Water Music is still the Delos recording by Gerard Schwarz and the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra, with its wild, yet always tasteful, ornamentation and Schwarz's unrivalled sensitivity to the moods and colors of Handel's kaleidoscopic score.

		When I am more experienced i am goin to try this and measure all the fireworks i plan to make because i have found a GREAT tune to use!
		This is theoretically possible, however, the precision required in the conducting of a pyro-musical display using solely category 3 material is next to imposible to achieve due to the fact that the visco fusing that comes attached to most consumer fireworks does not burn at a consistent rate.
		This is why the company that i fire with replaces the visco with the more consistent PIC fusing in order to achieve a lower dud rate and more precise timings.

		With his genius for creating pedagogical materials of superb musical taste, Williams leads the young student - progressively - from simple melodies and duets to pieces of considerable subtlety and sophistication, always simple, always within the capabilities of the young player, always designed to challange.
		This approach teaches the fundamentals of music musically rather than as a series of abstract or mathematical studies.
		The duets are musical and they're not humbling "killer" hard-to-play parts that would embarass you in front of the other guy.
