	Water Music (Handel) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Water Music is a collection of orchestral movements, often considered as three suites, composed by George Frideric Handel.
		The "Music for the Royal Fireworks" is often paired with the "Water Music," in part or in whole, on recordings.
		Between 1959 and 1988 a "Water Music" movement was used for the ident of Anglia Television.

	CLASSICAL MUSIC ARCHIVES: Handel Biography
		With Handel on the other hand, even religious oratorios such as the Messiah, have a theatrical quality that is not exclusively of the church and that communicates to an already burgeoning middle class audience.
		This music was published in 1740 under the title "Water Music." Meanwhile, Handel settled down to a long and prosperous career in London where Italianate music had always found favor, becoming a naturalized citizen in 1726.
		Handel, along with Bach, is one of the supreme glories of his age for many reasons, not the least of which is the sincerity and clarity of his emotional meaning.

	The Water Music (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-07-09)
		You can be sure that Handel had no idea his 'Water Music' would continue to be so famous long after his death.
		Handel was born in 1685, the same year as Bach, another famous German composer.
		Handel liked to travel and he visited England in 1710 but he returned home and became "director of music" for the Elector of Hanover.

	Classical Notes - Classical Classics - Handel's Water Music and Music for the Royal Fireworks, By Peter Gutmann
		To defuse the tension, 12,000 tickets were sold for a rehearsal of Handel's music, which ended with a 101 cannon salute and caused a massive traffic jam that blocked London Bridge for three hours.
		The King at first wanted no music but compromised by decreeing only "martial instruments." Handel, too, bargained – for sufficient volume to be heard over the din he had wanted a hundred players, but settled for the then-colossal ensemble of 24 oboes, 12 bassoons, 9 horns, 9 trumpets and 3 kettledrums.
		Handel had been appointed Kappelmeister to the German Hanover court, but his patron had become upset that the court composer was constantly absent on extended English stays.

		Handel was asked to provide it, and "His Majesty's approval of it was so great that he caused it to be played three times in all." George (the King, not the composer) later attended a supper at a riverside villa at 1 am.
		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.

	PBO - Handel's Water Music
		The music for The Alchemist was first heard in London’s King Theatre, Haymarket, in January of 1710 and was published later that year by Walsh in London.
		This setting represents Handel’s second of the Daphne legend (the story of the wood nymph pursued by a god and transformed into a laurel), and was the latest in a long line of musical-dramatic efforts by such composers as Peri, Gagliano and Schütz (Cavalli, Fox and Richard Strauss had a go at it later).
		She performed Handel’s Messiah with the Orquesta Sinfonica Nacional in Mexico, Eurydice in Gluck’s Orfeo, the Bach B Minor Mass with Mostly Mozart at Lincoln Center, and Handel’s L’Allegro ed il pensoroso with Helicon Ensemble.

		For a work as iconic as Handel's 'Water Music', there is a surprising amount that we do not know about it.
		Tradition also divides the music into three suites, one in F with horns, one in D major with trumpets and a chamber suite in G major.
		The printed sources indicate that by the 1720s a continuo instrument was envisaged, but surely Handel would not have been happy with the feeble tinkling that passes for continuo on parts of this recording.

	Water Music : Music by Handel, reviewed by Jill Hill (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-07-09)
		The birth of Water Music is documented by a quote from the Daily Courant of July 19, 1717 which reported: "On Wednesday Evening at about 8, the King took Water at Whitehall in an open Barge.
		Handel; which his Majesty liked so well, that he caused it to be plaid over three times going and returning." George I of Hanover was the King and when he took over the throne he brought along 'A flight of hungry Hanoverians, like so many famished vulture.' So wrote the Whig Minster James Stanhope.
		Recorded in the church Notré Dame de Liban, Paris baroque musical practices were used to capture for the contemporary listener the timbre of the instruments of Handel's day.

	George Frederick Handel’s Water Music Suite:
		Handel was born in Germany, but spent large portions of his life in Italy as well as in London, where he composed these two suites, the Water Music Suite and Music for the Royal Fireworks (Grout 424).
		The exact instrumentation Handel used in the suite is also a mystery, but the types of instruments used for its debut in 1717 are quite different than those used today, and I will compare various aspects of these such as the difference in appearance, timbre and the capabilities of these Baroque instruments.
		Schwartz describes this momentous event as “not as English as it may seem, for Handel, the English kind and the horn were all from Germany.” After their debut in Water Music, the horns had found a place in English orchestras, and every composer after Handel has used it in their compositions.

	Handel Water Music complete, Music for the Royal Fireworks
		In the summer of 1717 the King George requested a concert on the River Thames, and Handel was commissioned to write 'Water Music', for wind and strings.
		The Music for the Royal Fireworks was composed some 30 years later, in 1749, to accompany the festivities at Green Park in celebration of the Treaty of Aix-la-Chapelle.
		Handel as usual is in top musical form: there was no state or royal occasion to which Handel could not rise with appropriate musical pomp and splendor!

		The Suite in F is concluded with two movements from the Suite in D which Handel re-arranged into F major.
		As these are the only two movements that we possess in Handel's manuscript, it is good that we can hear them and they make a fitting conclusion to the otherwise rather open ended Suite in F. Care has also been taken with the sound of the group.
		If you are thinking of buying a Water Music on modern instruments then I would advise trying to listen to Mackerras and the Orchestra of St. Luke’s as well as this one.

		Heaven knows, Handel wrote a great deal of wonderful music, much of which is rarely recorded.
		I mean, as if the Water Music on its own isn't a rather obvious choice, this CD partners it with Handel's other 'pop' hit, Music for the Royal Fireworks.
		Here the New York Philharmonic provides a full, magisterial sound as befits music written (if you accept the more romantic version of the story) for a river party given by King George I. In fact, while this is a fairly newly released disc, the recording is far from new.

		This collection of George Frideric Handel's "Greatest Hits" leans more heavily towards "The Water Music Suite" than his oratorical work, which is my only serious complaint about this CD as an introduction to the composer's work.
		...the music is one of the most authentic feelings from human soul...it says without words the real feeling of the composer and listener...enjoy this beautifyl music to serenate your spirit....thanks God for music..
		For example, this CD has exerpts from Handel's famous "Music for the Royal Fireworks" and "Water Music." In order to experience these works in their whole forms, I had to buy a CD that overlapped with the material on this one.

		While Scherchen was a far cry from the forefather of the authentic-instruments movement, he did do a great deal to promote the works of lesser-known composers from pre-1750.
		His performances of these Baroque standards -- Handel's Water Music and Trumpet Concertos by Torelli, Vivaldi and Handel -- are certainly modern, and they sparkle and shine the way only the great recordings of the golden age of stereo can.
