The 'Water Music', normally split into three suites, is a set of orchestral movements, written by George Frideric Handel. It was composed by the request of King George I, who wanted a concert to be performed on the River Thames. The piece was first performed on 17 July 1717 upon a royal barge. It is said that the king was so pleased with 'Water Music' that he orderedf or it to be repeated at least three times.

 

Ideal for weddings and concerts alike, this arrangement includes alternative parts for tenor horn, treble clef euphonium and tuba.
