Descripción
Two of the most popular Baroque orchestral works in the repertoire appear here in a single volume. Full of charm and tremendous variety, Water Music features a colourful blend of concerto and dance suite and represents the first great peak in Handel's orchestral music. This suite is expansive, unflaggingly inspired outdoor music, written for a large orchestra manipulated with sovereign skill.
Music For The Royal Fireworks - composed to acknowledge the Peace of Aix-la-Chapelle - is specially noted for its brilliant overture and combination of tunefulness and grandeur.
Reproduced here from an authoritative early edition, the score appears with bar-numbered movements. Ideal for classroom or home study.
