Two of the most popular Baroque orchestral works in the repertoire appear here in one inexpensive, convenient volume. Full of charm and tremendous variety, Water Music features a colorful blend of concerto and dance suite, representing the first peak in Handel's orchestral music. Music for the Royal Fireworks, written for the English court of George I, is specially noted for its brilliant overture and combination of tunefulness and grandeur. Authoritative early editions.

It scores highly

04 September 2023 | Alistair

This work is in itself so famous, arrangers can’t keep their digits off it! Which really means that it is quite difficult to source an original edition which has not been scored for 16/saxophones nor 8 double basses!
But setting aside the abnormality of such cunning schemes, the earlier edition ( undated) is in itself quite fun to own and study. Despite being a bit on the small side, my own eyesight can cope most of the time. Thank you, Dover, for making this edition available in the first place.
