About this listen

Handel's Water Music is a collection of short orchestral pieces composed to serenade King George I of England during a boating party on the Thames river in 1717. The music is grouped into three suites, each featuring different instrumental colors and having its own distinct character. The individual movements that comprise these suites include overtures, fanfares, instrumental arias, and dances.

The Musically Speaking Conductor's Guides are your link to an appreciation of the greatest classical music ever performed. Let Maestro Gerard Schwarz enrich your classical music listening enjoyment by illuminating the great works of the Masters with revealing commentary and educational insight.

If you love the symphony, this hour of delightful entertainment and fascinating information will enrich your symphony experience like nothing else. See the entire Musically Speaking Collection here.©1995 CVP, Inc. (P)1995 CVP, Inc.

enjoyable look at a favorite music piece

I really enjoy this series of lectures on classical music, and especially enjoyed this one since it is a favorite piece for me to listen to. It reminds me of a longer version of what I get at the symphony when the conductor suggests things to look for in the upcoming piece. This was enjoyable but also was very educational commentary. I appreciate the author/narrator's lecture voice as well.
