I once saw this most beautiful woman and told her she's missing her wedding ring and she told me no, it's on her other hand because she's a violin player. I then said, "You look familiar. Didn't I see you play Handel's Water Music with the local orchestra a few years back?" Yes, that was her! What a pleasant encounter that was.
I am from the 18th century, you lot are so so lucky. I only heard this once, with difficulty, from the banks of the River Thames, and only a bit as the barges went by. Noticed a guy sitting on them under a canopy with an enormous wig. Have to look that one up, but hey you can listen to this over and over again.
I both envy and pity you, sir. You must have seen so much, including the slow, but steady decline in what we call music. Tell me, if you can, at one point do you think that music, as you define it, ceased to be composed?
We live like kings today. Pineapple can even be bought for pennies, sugar and meat for everyone, and a box shows us plays that copied Shakespeare, but not as good. And we fly on giant birds of steel.
The only music that I can listen to while working and not lose my focus yet still have something going on in the background so it's not too quiet. Works like a charm!
The kind of music you have to listen 150 times before having a clear picture of this amazing piece. The parts that blow me away everytime: - 7:20 HMV 348: III. Allegro - 21:30 HMV 348: VI. Minuet - 32:03HMV 349: I. Overture - 36:29 HMV 349: II. Alla hornpipe - 50:54 HMV 350: I. Allegro - 53:05 HMV 350: II. Alla hornpipe - 1:01:12 HMV 350: V. Air
@@user-cs2zz3pv7v yes they are the same, some renditions like this one have a repeated variation of overture and alla hornpipe for some extra pleasure :D
@@user-cs2zz3pv7v It was acceptable to "borrow" not only from your own music but anyone else's. It was considered a great compliment...why not compliment yourself, if worthy? ( Thinking of that day) Worked for them!
Handel's water music ranks up with at least the five greatest pieces of Baroque chamber music ever composed. Such a world of order, sophistication, tranquility, and exquisite beauty, I cannot help but keep on playing it over and over again as I study Calculus II. It turns the most difficult problems into the zenith of excitement and enjoyment!
Far and away one of, if not THE, best, complete collection of Handel's Water Music. Wonderful orchestration, proper tempo are just a few of it's many finer points.
The melody in this sacred piece is sparkle with EXUBERANCE to the spirit. It makes the listener yearn for HOPE... Perfect recording, many thanks to 'CollinsClassics.'
Beautifully put, Helena. You might try the Concertgebouw's 1958 recording (conducted by E. van Beimum) which maybe has less 'sparkle' or 'exuberance' than what the Consort does here; but, to my ears, the earlier recording more than makes up for that in its grace and tenderness.
The sound on this! Absolutely astonishing. Because audio files do not always play well with being uploaded, but every now and then, perfection is achieved.
I wish that I could meet at least one of my grandmas. Both were dead when I was born, but one died when I was about to be born. What I’m trying to prove? I’m trying to show you that your not alone, and I hope you can feel a little bit better
I listened to this for the first time in the audience right on the Charles river on the 250th anniversary. I was 7. July 17 1967. Everyone else my age was listening to the Beatles. I believe Fiedler was the conductor though I was rather young so I can't be certain. My uncle had a boat so we pulled up along side the bank right there and listened to the entire concert from his boat, the only proper way to listen to this :)

This piece travels through our emotions and our feelings...despite the year or situation... It's like "hearing and seeing it with your Inner Eye" can't describe it any better..
I totally agree. Handel was very good in that kind of uplifting and triumphant parts. For me the best example is the Hallelujah chorus in the Messiah Oratorio.
Händel is one of the greatest Composers in history. On the Olymp with J. S. Bach, CPE Bach, G. Ph. Telemann, L. van Beethoven, W. A. Mozart, F. Schubert, F. Mendelssohn-Bartholdy, J. Brahms, P. Tschaikovsky, R. Schumann, J. Strauß II, A. Vivaldi, R. Wagner, C. Monteverdi and J. Haydn.
The Greatest Composers in history are famous for their classical masterpieces either in opera or instrumental (symphonic) music or both. From a larger list are missing a lot of names, like N. Paganini, G. Verdi at least, and G. Mahler, D. Scarlatti, G. Rossini, G. Donizetti, H. Berlioz, F. Liszt, J. Offenbach, C. Saint-Saëns, G. Bizet, G. Puccini, C. Debussy, J. Sibelius, M. Ravel, B. Bartok, S. Prokofiev, D. Shostakovich, S. Rachmaninoff, E. Grieg, L. Delibes, C. Gounot etc. There are a lot of lists like best 10, best 20, many of them subjective. L. van Beethoven is simply the best.
Ridículos são os anúncios que o RU-vid estupidamente enfia no meio do programa, num volume duas vezes superior ao da delicadíssima música de Händel, aqui tão bem executada!
I found this piece music because it was mentioned in I Capture the Castle: the Vicar plays it on the piano as Cassandra and Neil swim in the moat by moonlight
Dear music lovers, I suggest you watch a video about cities located like Venice on the water accompanied by part of the work of G. F. Handel "Music on the water" ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-q6-MwAnL-G0.html . There are also many more beautiful music videos on my channel.

When most of the world was either still living like they had for thousands of years or under such strict religious servitude that music was almost non-existent this innovative music pioneer composed one of the most beautiful pieces of music ever, musically so far advanced over the drums and chanting elsewhere that music advanced light-years. Between Handel, Vivaldi and Bach the late Baroque period was a watershed for music. Mozart, Beethoven and all who followed owe their creative genius to these great Europeans. Been loving this since I studied it in college . Read on: www.britannica.com/topic/Water-Music
In answer to your first question, I can offer a possibility. Many composers back then were not above borrowing music or reworking their own, and it is well known that Handel did that a lot. (So did Bach and Mozart, to name two others.) I don't know the circumstances that prompted the writing of each suite or the order in which the movements were composed, but I did notice that of the movements you mentioned, you are correct that they are the same except one is in D major and the other is in G major, with some re-orchestration. Maybe Handel was in a hurry and/or it was simply most convenient to re-use a good tune. I don't have an answer to your second question. I assume substituting an M for a W is either a typo or a result of dyslexia.
Only one hour? Thought it was "complete". Isn't it at least 3 hours? 3 Suites of about one hour each? Is there a complete video with ALL Handle's Water Music?
for the classic music enthusiast, i need some help finding a tune. i got a sample of the trumpet works on my channel it is a single video of 10sec long. i searched everywhere and never found the full music. if you could help me please to find it. i tried to input the sample into some website that automatically find song, but it didnt work.
Is there a reason I can’t seem to find 41:06 anywhere other than this version? I’ve heard another version off of a CD when I was younger called “Listen, Learn and Grow” and I can’t seem to find it now.
THE BIG BANG :2Pe 3:3 ¶ Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, 2Pe 3:7 But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men. 2Pe 3:10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
That's horribly sadistic and utterly nonsensical. It reads like the ravings of a a deluded maniac. Either that, or it's simply a typical passage from the bible.
