Water Music
The Water Music is a collection of orchestral movements, often published as three suites, composed by George Frideric Handel. It premiered on 17 July 1717, in response to King George I's request for a concert on the River Thames.
Beecham-Handel suites
The conductor Sir Thomas Beecham made several orchestral suites from neglected music by George Frideric Handel, mostly from the composer's 42 surviving operas. The best known of the suites are "The Gods Go a'Begging" (1928), "The Origin of Design" (1932), "The Faithful Shepherd" (1940), "Amaryllis" (1944) and "The Great Elopement" (1945, later expanded as "Love in Bath", 1956).
