water music

orchestral suite. Handel, a German composer, wrote it between 1715 and 1717. Legend has it that it was written for the new King George I and played during his visit to the Thames, hence the name "water music". The original suite consists of 1 ditties, which are divided into three groups: the French horn suite, the trumpet suite and the trombone suite. The performance time is as long as one hour. At first, it is a French prelude, followed by various forms of dance music such as Blaise and minuet, including slow movements. The author used violin, double bass, German flute, French flute, oboe, bassoon, horn and trumpet. In 1922, the British composer and conductor Hattie selected six pieces and adapted them into the popular version:

(1) Allegro. Adapted from the original third Allegro. At the beginning, the French horn * * * music group played agile homophones repeatedly and gorgeous vibrato, which set off a lively and cheerful atmosphere. The prominent horn melody in the music adds charming color to the music with soft and round timbre.

(2) aria. Trilogy, the first part and the reappearance part are adapted from the original fifth aria, and the violin plays a light and stretched melody like a trickle; The gentle middle part is adapted from the original sixth minuet.

(3) Blaise. Based on the original No.7 "Blaise Dance". The theme uses the unique fast and fluent style of the dance music, and the whole song is full of light and cheerful emotions.

(4) Horn flute dance music. Based on the original No.8 Horn Flute Dance, the theme is lively and full of life.

(5) Andante full of expression. According to the adagio part of the original third "Allegro-Andante-Allegro", the woodwind blows out a slow and deep theme, just like a soft serenade. When the string repeats the theme melody, the woodwind is lined with counterpoint melody, which makes people feel as if they are in the quiet and charming night of the Thames.

(6) Allegro. Based on the adaptation of the original 11th "Horn Flute Dance Style", it is a trilogy. The theme is brilliant, with horn characteristics, depicting spectacular ceremony scenes, and the solemn horn ensemble adds rich and luxurious colors; The middle part contrasts with the front and back with a simple and lively melody; Finally, the magnificent first part is reproduced, and it ends with a magnificent horn.
