Handel - Water Music. Handel's Water Music is made up of three orchestral suites, written for an outdoor performance for King George I on the Thames. Handel composed his wonderfully jolly Water Music around 1717. and it was first performed on 17 July that year, after George I requested a concert on the River Thames. The king watched from the royal barge with various dukes and duchesses as the 50 musicians played nearby.
Digital data can be seen as the water in the DVD bucket, with 24/192 multi-channel sound being the equivalent of a big audio splash. Composer Robert Rich has decided to use the 4.7GBytes of storage allowed by the DVD format to create the equivalent of a steady seven-hour audio flow, instead. Possibly the longest continuous musical composition ever released on any format, Rich's latest ambient work, Somnium, represents a landmark in the history of recorded music. The music for Somnium was a result of Rich's desire to release a studio version of his notorious all-night Sleep Concerts, which have been performed live around the world for the last several years. He recorded the music for the new disc over a six-year period, starting with field recordings using the 16-bit, 48KHz format.
