This was some of the music I listened when I was a girl with my father who had this masterpiece in an LP (vinyl disc) and used to play it on weekends when we were playing around. During my childhood and thanks to him I used to listen to classical music masters such as Handel, Albinoni, Bach, but as he also liked deeply The Beatles, Pink Floyd and African American jazz musicians I got to know a variety of music that has filled my life with joy. My loving father died in November 2022 of COVID, having been a healthy man all his life, he wasn't able to turn 81 years old and was buried almost 20 days before his birthday. I miss him enormously. Thanks for being a good and generous man.
I thank Mt mommy. Momma passed in 2017 at age of 87. Sometimes, think I need to call her when this music is on; then I remember she isn't here. I bless God for giving her to me and my family. Both "poor " African-American parents were wonderful.
Listening to this in a bath on a Monday night with a glass of Merlot. The world outside doesn't exist, for half an hour I'm free from expectations, judgement and responsibility.
The beautiful pieces especially from the track from time 40:41minutes brought tears to my eyes, as I remember me and my Dad singing this song with so much relish. I dedicate this piece to my Loving Dad. He was buried in January this year 2023. Daddy, thank you for the beautiful upbringing. I miss you Dad ❤❤ 🙏
I recall myself in a powdered whig bowing to a fair lady... (I recall her name as Inga von Hapsburg). Perhaps a past life. Not sure.. But I do remember seeing Fatty Roscoe Arbuckle in the cinema. He WAS framed at that party in San Francisco, don't ya know. He discovered Bob Hope and Buster Keaton.... But totally forgotten. Sorry, I digress... Remember Brownie cameras?
Being so penniless, all I really can say is, I'm going for Baroque, you know, Bach, Handel, Pachelbel, etc..who else still enjoys this after all these centuries? (Seems like only yesterday). It shouldn't matter the length of time, good is still good...no?
Water music. The scores were perfected so the music sounded divine when played on a ship travelling on a river. There is no way you can listen at the intended rendering when listening to water music played in an auditorium or thru speakers. Haendel was a genius. On a travelling ship, those trumpet sounds appeared to come from the sky and moving all around.
My dad did too. Every Sunday was “Sunday music” in the house. Handel, Beethoven, Brahms were his favorites. Drove my Mom nuts. She wanted to listen to Frank Sinatra. But Sunday was Dad’s one music day.
The most Majestic music ever written (at 23-20)..Genius!! Back at Secondary School we were played Handle's Water Music in Music Class on the Old vinyl player. Sun was shining that afternoon through the classroom window - and we 'missed' it ! We were 'bored' and as restless teenagers couldn't see what the fuss was all about !! I am 58 now and have stummbled across this again here on Utube. I'm blown away - amazed by how brilliant this piece of work is... I have been playing it over and over now for the last 2 months ! I work to it, I sleep to it, I wake to it, I drive to it ... It is a 'backdrop' to the day..What I would give to go back to that class teacher, at Ripley St Thomas, and thank her. I now 'see' why she chose it for us to study. Like they say, when the student is ready...
A child recently requested something like "Exploding Diapers" to listen to. I would not play it. Such degradation in music today and deliberately aimed at youth to corrode their minds is incomprehensible. Thank God classical music is online...we can play it in the background so kids absorb it by osmosis.
@montymonto6430: Also you'd like Gluck s Opera Orpheo Ed Euridice: Also you'll feel yourself in another world and feel your soul being elevated especially during the operatic ballet scenes.
This is a great selection of music. I listened to it during the removal of my wisdom teeth. The surgeon even commented on how nice it sounded, and it got him talking about classical music while doing his work in my mouth.
If only more dentists would play classical music for their patients (and in the waiting room) instead of the raucous junk they blast over their loudspeakers these days, they'd have a lot fewer anxious patients!!
The organ on which Frederick Handel learned to play is still preserved in its original form in the market church of Halle Saale. Down at the Old Market is a fountain from which in the past the so-called hunger water spring with salty water. And a three hundred meters further rushes the Saale. The bell ringing of the market church in Halle Saale has the same ringing as Big Ben only all 400 years old bells are undamaged.
This is always the best medicine when I feel sad and worried. It makes it easier to think constructively and sometimes helps med solve problems that seemed hopeless before.
This reminds me of eldest son and his brass horns and his concerts at churches and salutes to lost family at their internments. Younger son won awards for tuba playing,...got into AllStar Jazz Band at his first competition, This piece also causes me to cry....so beautiful with such a beautiful story behind it, WHERE’S OUR BEAUTY TODAY???
I've known this music for about 60 years, and this is the best performance I have ever heard. It's much more measured than the usual, somewhat frenetic performance. Well done!
I am from Hannover, Lower Saxony, Germany. In the Great Garden, one of the original baroque parks in Europe, this music is an integral piece to the illumination in long summer evenings. Sometimes Händels Fireworkmusic supports the special firework events. Every year, exept this on, we have a Firework-World-Cup with changing Artists of Firework. Music for Kings and Queens in the past, now for all. When you visit Hannover in summer, look for this bonus-events.
Also you can attend music concerts that are held in the Galery building (it is part of the Great Garden) during Baroque week, which usually takes place in February. Hannover has got some great orchestras and choirs, which produce wonderful music and hearing it live is breathtaking. This year I went to a concert in which famous Countertenor Andreas Scholl performed together with the lovely Hannover Boys Choir (Knabenchor Hannover) and pieces like „Zadok the Priest“ or the „Hallelujah“ have simply been stunning!
@@jessicateccob5143 u shouldnt look at it as "your stupid music history class", think as an oportunity to learn something that most people would never had...
This absolutely cracked me up, because YES, I WAS. I'm sorry. I promise I'll listen from the beginning tomorrow, or later tonight. :) But that section starting at 36....LOVE IT SO MUCH.
و أنا مراهق اشتريت رواية دون كيشوت من مكتبة المعارف بالإسكندرية و رجعت البيت لقراءتها و شغلت الراديو على البرنامج الموسيقي المصري و كان يذيع هذه المقطوعة البديعة ، و استمتعت بالرواية مع الموسيقا، و لا زلت كلما استمعت لهذه المقطوعة اتذكر رواية دون كيشوت و هذه الأيام الجميلة الممتعة في تسعينيات القرن الماضي
Very specific, somewhat self-indulgent, but true story: First heard this music when my father, a retired naval officer, played it for me in 1988 while driving across Oahu from our naval housing to the WWII submarine museum (easily one of the coolest places you could take a kid!) The sun would flash over the water and there would be jets doing flyovers, seemingly flanking us as we speed our way in a little white Chrysler to history...to the aquarium...and perhaps less eruditely, to Baskin Robbins and Dennys. I was only 5 at the time so the full aesthetic of the thing would not hit me until later, but I got my first feelings of cultural pride (not in bellicosity or warfare, but in the marriage of technical prowess and artistic dignity that we held as axiomatic, if not sacrosanct). Obviously, these were not my 5 year old thoughts, but I had some spark of what beauty could be, and a budding understanding of what *expertise* and *craftsmanship* truly meant (I grew up on 80's synthpop, which i still enjoy, but my point is this was a good counterbalance). Miss you Dad! This will forever be your leitmotif of our time together.
@ Thank you for your kind words Sir, I hope you are staying safe in the middle of this global craziness. I have not read either of these authors but I will check them out!
So well and beautifully put, Valmont. A wonderful evocation, almost an anatomy, of an emotional/aesthetic experience from childhood, understood and interpreted in later life. Nothing self-indulgent about it, that I could see. I am listening to the “Air” (starting around 18:38) as I read and comment on what you wrote... and its graceful melody and stately rhythm conjure up those overflying planes in my mind’s eye.
For me the personal associations are of deep nostalgia and longing around age 10-11 for my maternal homeland in South America and for the grandparents I had just said goodbye to.
My parents also introduced me to Handel and all classical music as a child I also grew up in the 80’s and love that music I love all kinds of of music genres but if you want to experience getting close to god baroque music is as close as it gets on earth especially Georg Friedrich Handel! viva la Renaissance long live western civilization!
Handel is master 🤗. After he heard Water music, the king wanted to hear it once more. And this time he was standing on his feet al the time the concert was playing second time. It was a great thing because the king don't standing in front of anybody. I have read that king, after Water music was performed, he proclamed Handel a doctor of the music and it was the first time that somebody become doctor of the music. There is one piece in that concert for which the king said : this aire will be played three times, and after that this piece was played three times every time when Water music was played. ( Suite No.3, the 5th movement.)
Diese Musik ist Seelenhonig und wunderschön 🤩 ! Entschleunigt und weckt die Hoffnung, dass diese Welt, sich mit Gottes Hilfe, zum Besseren wandeln kann 🙏😁👍❤️. Amen .
❤ja ich höre das seit 30 Jahren und es ist immer noch gleich bezubernd heute wie damals. Diese herrliche Musik begleitet einen ein ganzes Leben lang und es ist jedes Mal, wie das erste mal hören. Auch die Haustiere , auch der frechste Kater, sind dabei ganz begeistert und herrlich entspannt , egal ob Händel, Bach, Albinoni, Vivaldi usw. ❤😊😊❤ Danke Herr GF Händel, dass es für ein Leben lang solch wunderbare Musik gibt, schon seit Ewigkeiten ❤
The reformer Martin Luther was a talented musician and the great J S Bach included some of his chorales into his cantatas. He said " Music is the art and tongue of the prophets. He said Music was a great gift given by God to humanity.
Marvelous performance! A lot of people imagine that only jazz and popular musicians improvise, or (even worse) that only in those fields does the performer use creativity. The truth is, interpretation of pieces like these requires an almost infinite series of choices--dynamics (volume), tempo, tone color, etc., etc., and they are each unique. The performer as (almost) co-composer. And that's even without departures from the score. The orchestra here (Chicago?) under Muti's baton gives a superb reading of Handel's beloved suites, with a light touch, vigor, and great beauty. Many of the movements are country/popular dance forms of the era, and they are treated as such, rather than with dusty, scholarly reverence. And the improvisational spirit of baroque music is here, too--enjoy the woodwinds in the second go-round of the Bourrée, starting around 26:55. This is a masterwork and a delight. (For me as a matter of personal taste, the gold standard remains the Concertgebouw's late 1950s recording, underf Eduard Van Beinum.)
I first didn´t know, what the Watermusic is, but I found some informatons: Händel composes the water music, which contains 3 pieces (HWV 348, 349 and 350) to entertain the pleasure trip of the english king Georg I. in 1717 on the river Themse in London.
I can never get enough of this beautiful composition though I hear it at least once a day. Never has anything so uplifted my spirits. Genius and art in the most lovely setting on the Thames of London.
It was the first record my father ever gave me to play on my child’s record player. It was way before I learned how to read and what I remember is being mesmerized by the record company’s Angel logo on the record red label as she rotated around and around. Whenever this music comes on the radio I think of my Dad and my childhood visits with him to Carnegie Hall when his favorite conductors Eugene Ormandy and George Szell were in town.
Fall 1978. My sophomore year at Leningrad (St. Petersburg) State University. First time listened to this divine music at Hermitage Theater. Unforgettable feeling and experience.
Well, he didn't have to work on a farm he did not own, growing crops and tending to animals that were not his. I'm sure he was given enough money to hold him over until the next masterpiece was created. :)
@@insouciantFox Mozart was in luxus trouble and Bach had a very good life too. Nowadays the same job as Kantor is well retributed. The mythos of the poor artists has born in the romantic and has nothing to do whith the reality.
Me and my almost 2 month old lottle girl... We've been lostening to Beethoven since pregnancy, because I only liked listening to him and didn't know this soundtrack. I look forward to listening to all of it
This is Handel, master of the art and the ever green doctor of classic music. This part of Handel's classic vibes is being used by most mystical groups for easy soul elevation during meditation. It is as old as a new collection hence whoever listens to it always wants more because of its healing effects to the soul consciousness. I call it "Georg Frideric Handel's Angelic music". Your soul is in Perfect Peace brother.
I started taking biology last week after 7 years since I figured out what I want to do in order to get an associates degree in performing arts/communication. Lately I've been studying and this puts my mind at ease, it also helps me remember things better and worry less about what I get wrong. Have an upcoming test next week so gotta study well. Wish me luck
Cordless, you could not be more correct. These are incredible gems, and musically there are som many things that could be said about them. These a.long with the Music for the Royal Fireworks and Handel's operas make some of the greatest the late Baroque has to offer as it mov es into the Classical period. Thank you ever so much and God bless.
Most intelligent and beautiful music ever written. First half of the 18th century. Handel died in 1759 of course. The music world lost the greatest it has ever seen with him!
26:13 Ric. Mult. Ste 1 F Maj: Discovered this song decades ago quite unitentionally when it was used as the introductory theme music to a fun cooking show that aired on PBS, The Frugal Gourmet. I loved the song instantly and have been captivated by Handel ever since. Really glad you posted his music!
By far the best recording water symphony by George Frederick handel I have heard yet I have my favourite classical music on disc from PRISOM that my parents got me years ago as a Christmas gift over 300 ours worth its wonderful music. It's inspirational, culture, historical and connection with therapeutic soothing.
This is far from the best available. You need to listen to the English Concert playing this on period instruments led by Trevor Pinnock. That will not only give you goose bumps but it might give you an erection it is that good.
@@dannylgriffin It's subjective. I liked Trevor Pinnock's interpretation but the Presto was too fast (not as quick as some others). Here it is played at a more measured pace that caresses the notes. But just my view.
Yes, it is very calming, and I need the peace of mind at this very moment. By the way, some brides use Handel's Water Music as their bridal choice (if they choose to walk down an aisle). I feel so much better after hearing this. Thank you.
This was my wedding music 53 years ago but little did we know it would be thundering and lightening for 3 days. The guests all thought we had picked it because the weather was apocalypse, gave them all a good laugh!
The season of blooming cherry blossoms , which my late beloved mother said she wanted to show to her favorite Handel , has come again . Inspired by this wonderful performance , I might have a dream of nostalgic my late beloved mother who deeply loved Handel's works . This dream is the ultimate in bliss for me From Tokyo of the Land of the Rising Sun 🇯🇵
Back when I was a child in the 90s and my dad was stationed in Germany and we lived on a now closed base called "Benjamin Franklin Village" (BFV for short) he made VHS home video recording of us touring different places in Germany and he made an opening credit sequence with the song "Bouree" playing in the background ( to make it seem professional I guess lol). He had another one that would play "Arrival of the Queen of Sheba" when the video transitioned to a different area. Sadly that video is long gone now, but hearing that song again brings back so many memories of visiting the old German towns, seeing the old buildings and there was a town where they would have people dressed in clothing from what I assume was supposed to be the style of the 1500-1600s and put on reenactments.
@@linajurgensen4698 Whilst obviously born a German, and his initial teachers being German, that’s about it. It was really his time in Italy that defined him as a composer, not his studies with Zachow et al. Added to this, his move to England - and becoming a British subject and anglicising the spelling of his name - all this meant that his music is really a world away from ‘proper’ German composers like Bach* or Telemann. Perhaps it’s best avant la lettre, to consider him an EU composer! * Whilst Bach was writing Cantatas, Passions, b minor Mass, Brandenburg concertos, organ works and the 48, Handel was writing Italian opera, English oratorios, English pieces d’occasion like the Water Music and Music for the Royal Fireworks, Italian-style concerti grossi modelled on Corelli, and English Coronation anthems, et cetera. Bach and Handel actually have remarkably little in common except for being born in 1685 in what was to become modern Germany.
Handel is one of my favourites along Franz Joseph haydn. Wolfgang amedius mozart. Wolfgang Ludwig beethoven and many others to me there is no better music than classical
At first, I was skipping through all of it, then I left it playing since I got distracted with something else. I let this play in the background for over 20 minutes enjoying it till the very end! I quite like it now.
I knew it at 14 yo. It transformed me pleasantly inside so much that I feared at some point that if I listened to it many times its effect would no longer be the same and then I decided on several occasions to lift the needle that reproduced the acetate (I am talking about 1970). Every time I did it without my memory proposing it to me, the interrupted movement would continue until it was finished, which intensified my feeling of pleasure and well-being. A los 14 años la conocí. Me transformaba gratamente por dentro tanto que temí en algún momento que si la escuchaba muchas veces su efecto ya no fuera el mismo y entonces decidí en varias ocasiones levantar la aguja que reproducía el acetato (hablo de 1970). Cada que lo hacía sin que me lo propusiera mi memoria continuaba el movimiento interrumpido hasta concluirlo, lo cual intensificaba mi sensación de placer y bienestar.
As I've been pampering my 37 year old cassette tape that's wearing thin and can't seem to find on CD...this is by far the next best option...thank you so much for sharing!
I grew up on classical music. My Grandfather would put on the old 78 records. Bach, Beethoven, Mozart, Handel, Strauss. I loved it. It was so soothing. My grandfather taught me the waltzes too.
Not only a dog , but to me, also, I who do love all of the animals & the Baroque & Classical Musick of Haendel & of all of the Classical composers, who are now in heaven or still on the earth, Almighty God has given to them all a particular gift of being able to create wonderful music that will last forever
Georg Friedrich Händel's Wassermusik is incomparable, unforgettable and EPIC !!! Legends suggest that this master piece was composed for King George I of England. Bravo !!! this music is mesmerizing, beautiful and merits to be played on earth and our galaxy for eternity !!!!
Emil_K Sparks It’s not a legend; Handel’s Water Music was written as a specific piece d’occasion for a Royal water party on the River Thames in London.
Vivaldi, Mozart, Beethoven, Thaikoski y sobre todo, Handell, para mi los mejores ... Esta Música Acuática es un calmante para el alma de las desdichas que los idiotas, egoístas, envidiosos, etc, diariamente nos ocasionan...Si estos crétinos digirieran esta música, seguramente serían de otra manera...ellos siguen sufriendo...y yo continúo feliz al escuchar esta música que me pone a mil...❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
The sound has an affect on the matter. God made us the way we should praise Him and seek for the beauty such as classical Music. I've literally had a serious and painful anxiety that gave me heart and stomachache. After I played this wonderful music, my pain is gone! Thank you Dear Lord!
@@TheOneAndOnlyZenoRegardless of your stance on a theological or religious level, you should at least be glad for the other person that their pain and suffering was alleviated by listening of this beautiful music. As the old saying goes, if you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say it. Intentionally or not, your comment did come off as rather harsh.
When listening to this kind of music, time and again, that it comes to my mind: Music is the best investment for minds/hearts and the returns are tempting indeed. I have been a careful 'investor' for the last four decades and the returns I got were immesurable. Thanks.
Thank so much for posting this splendid music video of one of my favorite of the classical/Baroque musicians! Water music by Handel may be my favorite piece of classical music to listen to... so soothing and beneficial to the soul. I am a huge solid gold oldies music/songs from my favorite decade(s) the 60's and 70's... but have a place for beautiful Baroque classical music as well. Health, Joy, Peace and Blessings to all of you listening and reading this... God Bless America!

i I have listened to the same musics and have same feelings now. so I can understand you perfectly ...music has this power to connect people.
Music remains the connector of souls.
I thank Mt mommy. Momma passed in 2017 at age of 87. Sometimes, think I need to call her when this music is on; then I remember she isn't here. I bless God for giving her to me and my family. Both "poor " African-American parents were wonderful.
I meant to say I thanked my mommy for introducing we children to Herr Handel.
To write music like this, which we enjoy today 300 years later, is inspired genius.
Timeless!❤
Absolutely
En effet
Merci beaucoup Herr Haendel

Heavenly Melodies of extraordinary beauty. God bless Handel's soul and all the souls of those who listens to these beautiful pieces of work of arts.

The sun would flash over the water and there would be jets doing flyovers, seemingly flanking us as we speed our way in a little white Chrysler to history...to the aquarium...and perhaps less eruditely, to Baskin Robbins and Dennys. I was only 5 at the time so the full aesthetic of the thing would not hit me until later, but I got my first feelings of cultural pride (not in bellicosity or warfare, but in the marriage of technical prowess and artistic dignity that we held as axiomatic, if not sacrosanct). Obviously, these were not my 5 year old thoughts, but I had some spark of what beauty could be, and a budding understanding of what *expertise* and *craftsmanship* truly meant (I grew up on 80's synthpop, which i still enjoy, but my point is this was a good counterbalance). Miss you Dad! This will forever be your leitmotif of our time together.
@Deuce Villanueva Thank you Deuce :)
@ Thank you for your kind words Sir, I hope you are staying safe in the middle of this global craziness. I have not read either of these authors but I will check them out!
So well and beautifully put, Valmont. A wonderful evocation, almost an anatomy, of an emotional/aesthetic experience from childhood, understood and interpreted in later life. Nothing self-indulgent about it, that I could see. I am listening to the “Air” (starting around 18:38) as I read and comment on what you wrote... and its graceful melody and stately rhythm conjure up those overflying planes in my mind’s eye.
For me the personal associations are of deep nostalgia and longing around age 10-11 for my maternal homeland in South America and for the grandparents I had just said goodbye to.
My parents also introduced me to Handel and all classical music as a child I also grew up in the 80’s and love that music I love all kinds of of music genres but if you want to experience getting close to god baroque music is as close as it gets on earth especially Georg Friedrich Handel! viva la Renaissance long live western civilization!
Handel is master 🤗. After he heard Water music, the king wanted to hear it once more. And this time he was standing on his feet al the time the concert was playing second time. It was a great thing because the king don't standing in front of anybody.
I have read that king, after Water music was performed, he proclamed Handel a doctor of the music and it was the first time that somebody become doctor of the music.
There is one piece in that concert for which the king said : this aire will be played three times, and after that this piece was played three times every time when Water music was played. ( Suite No.3, the 5th movement.)
What you say is very interesting, since George II was standing, I think he surrendered to majestic music. very curious
@@marceloroura3581 It must have been George I. Water Music was composed in 1717.
Handel truly was an amazing composer.
In humid and hot Japanese Summer,
this masterpiece will quench the dryness of the soul
MY FINE ARTS MUSICAL PROFESSOR IN COLLEGE CALLED THIS HAPPY MUSIC. I'VE LOVED IT EVER SINCE I HEARD IT THE FIRST TIME IN HIS CLASS
Diese Musik ist Seelenhonig und wunderschön 🤩 ! Entschleunigt und weckt die Hoffnung, dass diese Welt, sich mit Gottes Hilfe, zum Besseren wandeln kann 🙏😁👍❤️. Amen .
❤ja ich höre das seit 30 Jahren und es ist immer noch gleich bezubernd heute wie damals. Diese herrliche Musik begleitet einen ein ganzes Leben lang und es ist jedes Mal, wie das erste mal hören. Auch die Haustiere , auch der frechste Kater, sind dabei ganz begeistert und herrlich entspannt , egal ob Händel, Bach, Albinoni, Vivaldi usw. ❤😊😊❤ Danke Herr GF Händel, dass es für ein Leben lang solch wunderbare Musik gibt, schon seit Ewigkeiten ❤
The reformer Martin Luther was a talented musician and the great J S Bach included some of his chorales into his cantatas. He said " Music is the art and tongue of the prophets. He said Music was a great gift given by God to humanity.
Marvelous performance! A lot of people imagine that only jazz and popular musicians improvise, or (even worse) that only in those fields does the performer use creativity. The truth is, interpretation of pieces like these requires an almost infinite series of choices--dynamics (volume), tempo, tone color, etc., etc., and they are each unique. The performer as (almost) co-composer. And that's even without departures from the score. The orchestra here (Chicago?) under Muti's baton gives a superb reading of Handel's beloved suites, with a light touch, vigor, and great beauty. Many of the movements are country/popular dance forms of the era, and they are treated as such, rather than with dusty, scholarly reverence. And the improvisational spirit of baroque music is here, too--enjoy the woodwinds in the second go-round of the Bourrée, starting around 26:55. This is a masterwork and a delight. (For me as a matter of personal taste, the gold standard remains the Concertgebouw's late 1950s recording, underf Eduard Van Beinum.)
Thank you!
I first didn´t know, what the Watermusic is, but I found some informatons:
Händel composes the water music, which contains 3 pieces (HWV 348, 349 and 350) to entertain the pleasure trip of the english king Georg I. in 1717 on the river Themse in London.
He was King of England but not an English King. Couldn’t even speak the language, apparently.
I can never get enough of this beautiful composition though I hear it at least once a day. Never has anything so uplifted my spirits. Genius and art in the most lovely setting on the Thames of London.
I agree 💯
@@leefleming1173😊
Music that never expires. Played this since mid 90s. Still enjoys it today and 4ever!!!
It was the first record my father ever gave me to play on my child’s record player. It was way before I learned how to read and what I remember is being mesmerized by the record company’s Angel logo on the record red label as she rotated around and around. Whenever this music comes on the radio I think of my Dad and my childhood visits with him to Carnegie Hall when his favorite conductors Eugene Ormandy and George Szell were in town.
George Handel is 2 of Diamonds ♦♦Happy Birthday to George Handel REST IN POWER Blessings and Hugs 👑💜
Fall 1978. My sophomore year at Leningrad (St. Petersburg) State University. First time listened to this divine music at Hermitage Theater. Unforgettable feeling and experience.
The utter majesty.. Nothing brings my spirits up like this music, especially his sacred music! If there's anything better than this, please comment!
The music of civilization and beauty
The greatness and gorgeousness and wonderfulness of Handel is immeasurable and unspeakable and beyond description
The whole universe should listen to this, I think we need to share it with all planets.
Was that a reference to Gustav Holtz? His most famous work? "THE PLANETS"
All of space is a better place because of these sounds.
@@christianfreedom-seeker934 You just made a whole Holtz of assumptions.
"All around the world ? :) "
It is incredibly majestic beautiful & inspirational music!! 💖
My dog always knew that bath time had arrived when he heard Handel’s water music.
And run away !
LOL
Maybe your dog's genius?
@@sofiabessonova2214 I like to think so!
😂😂😂😂
Душа радуется, когда слушаю эти мелодии! Музыка Генделя - это бальзам на душу! Благодарю!
When I’ve had all of me I can stand, I turn this on. Always soothing.
Decades later still the same inspiration, exuberance, and stuff.
Handel's music teaches you that the power you want is in your soul👌
Сила духа правит миром!
👍
Ah, brilliant.
soul and mind of course. without thinking no music will be created actually.
Can you imagine that Handel wrote an entire 1h masterpiece just for a river trip of the king? I hope he was well remunerated
Well, he didn't have to work on a farm he did not own, growing crops and tending to animals that were not his. I'm sure he was given enough money to hold him over until the next masterpiece was created. :)
he was
He was one of the rare few composers who was "well off". Not tied to the Chuch like J.S. Bach nor constantly in money trouble like Mozart.
@@insouciantFox Mozart was in luxus trouble and Bach had a very good life too.
Nowadays the same job as Kantor is well retributed.
The mythos of the poor artists has born in the romantic and has nothing to do whith the reality.
Wow! I hope so too. Thanks for the history lesson. 👍
Me and my 2 month old boy are listening to these masterpieces and I can tell you we are enjoying them every time!Thanks for sharing them!
He will grow up with a taste for fine quality music.
Me and my almost 2 month old lottle girl...
We've been lostening to Beethoven since pregnancy, because I only liked listening to him and didn't know this soundtrack. I look forward to listening to all of it
What a lucky boy to have such a art-lover father and to grow with these amazing collections. God watch over him...
This is Handel, master of the art and the ever green doctor of classic music. This part of Handel's classic vibes is being used by most mystical groups for easy soul elevation during meditation. It is as old as a new collection hence whoever listens to it always wants more because of its healing effects to the soul consciousness. I call it "Georg Frideric Handel's Angelic music". Your soul is in Perfect Peace brother.
This piece is so Handel.
Handel Is a great Alchemist of the fireworks and the water,and evokes comfortable feelings and a peace of mind
I started taking biology last week after 7 years since I figured out what I want to do in order to get an associates degree in performing arts/communication. Lately I've been studying and this puts my mind at ease, it also helps me remember things better and worry less about what I get wrong. Have an upcoming test next week so gotta study well. Wish me luck
Cordless, you could not be more correct. These are incredible gems, and musically there are som many things that could be said about them. These a.long with the Music for the Royal Fireworks and Handel's operas make some of the greatest the late Baroque has to offer as it mov es into the Classical period. Thank you ever so much and God bless.
Most intelligent and beautiful music ever written. First half of the 18th century. Handel died in 1759 of course. The music world lost the greatest it has ever seen with him!
Well Said Blair (Y)
26:13 Ric. Mult. Ste 1 F Maj: Discovered this song decades ago quite unitentionally when it was used as the introductory theme music to a fun cooking show that aired on PBS, The Frugal Gourmet. I loved the song instantly and have been captivated by Handel ever since. Really glad you posted his music!
By far the best recording water symphony by George Frederick handel I have heard yet I have my favourite classical music on disc from PRISOM that my parents got me years ago as a Christmas gift over 300 ours worth its wonderful music. It's inspirational, culture, historical and connection with therapeutic soothing.
Calming and Healing music
This is best version I have ever heard of the Water Music. What a gorgeous rendition!!
Muti is - by no means - a poor conductor.
This is far from the best available. You need to listen to the English Concert playing this on period instruments led by Trevor Pinnock. That will not only give you goose bumps but it might give you an erection it is that good.
@@dannylgriffin It's subjective. I liked Trevor Pinnock's interpretation but the Presto was too fast (not as quick as some others). Here it is played at a more measured pace that caresses the notes. But just my view.
Try the recording by Hervé Niquet with Le Concert Spirituel (Glossa label)...
@@vijaysundaram7876Exactly
Hats off to Comfort and gracefulness of Handel’s music
Yes, it is very calming, and I need the peace of mind at this very moment. By the way, some brides use Handel's Water Music as their bridal choice (if they choose to walk down an aisle). I feel so much better after hearing this. Thank you.
This was my wedding music 53 years ago but little did we know it would be thundering and lightening for 3 days. The guests all thought we had picked it because the weather was apocalypse, gave them all a good laugh!
The season of blooming cherry blossoms , which my late beloved mother said she wanted to show to her favorite Handel , has come again .
Inspired by this wonderful performance ,
I might have a dream of nostalgic my late beloved mother who deeply loved Handel's works .
This dream is the ultimate in bliss for me

Incredible version of this masterpiece. just my humble opinion but if you can't be moved by this music you are not human.
Back when I was a child in the 90s and my dad was stationed in Germany and we lived on a now closed base called "Benjamin Franklin Village" (BFV for short) he made VHS home video recording of us touring different places in Germany and he made an opening credit sequence with the song "Bouree" playing in the background ( to make it seem professional I guess lol). He had another one that would play "Arrival of the Queen of Sheba" when the video transitioned to a different area.
Sadly that video is long gone now, but hearing that song again brings back so many memories of visiting the old German towns, seeing the old buildings and there was a town where they would have people dressed in clothing from what I assume was supposed to be the style of the 1500-1600s and put on reenactments.
The comfort of this performance is beyond compare
This masterpiece is the poem about summer .
Fantastic all time classic! Händel truly was one of these german musical geniuses.
Born a German, died an Englishman
Very similar to that Italian genius Lulli.
@@Timathius17 shut up doesn’t change the fact that he’s German lol.
@@linajurgensen4698
Whilst obviously born a German, and his initial teachers being German, that’s about it.
It was really his time in Italy that defined him as a composer, not his studies with Zachow et al.
Added to this, his move to England - and becoming a British subject and anglicising the spelling of his name - all this meant that his music is really a world away from ‘proper’ German composers like Bach* or Telemann.
Perhaps it’s best avant la lettre, to consider him an EU composer!
* Whilst Bach was writing Cantatas, Passions, b minor Mass, Brandenburg concertos, organ works and the 48, Handel was writing Italian opera, English oratorios, English pieces d’occasion like the Water Music and Music for the Royal Fireworks, Italian-style concerti grossi modelled on Corelli, and English Coronation anthems, et cetera.
Bach and Handel actually have remarkably little in common except for being born in 1685 in what was to become modern Germany.
played this piece in a brass ensemble my sophomore year of h.s., I believe. love it. soothes the soul and oozes of JOY!
True
I can’t think of one composer who didn’t have humble origins! Eat you heart out elite!
Handel is one of my favourites along Franz Joseph haydn. Wolfgang amedius mozart. Wolfgang Ludwig beethoven and many others to me there is no better music than classical
Mozart, Haydn, and Beethoven all knew a considerable amount of music by Handel; all three studied Handel carefully and rated him very highly.
@@elaineblackhurst1509 they rated him as the best composer ever.
At first, I was skipping through all of it, then I left it playing since I got distracted with something else. I let this play in the background for over 20 minutes enjoying it till the very end! I quite like it now.
I played this work at age 17 at Toronto's Massey Hall and have not since touched a horn.
I just knew I could do no better.
Händel ist einfach Klasse.💜💜💜❤️❤️❤️🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🌺🌺🌺🌻🌻
I knew it at 14 yo. It transformed me pleasantly inside so much that I feared at some point that if I listened to it many times its effect would no longer be the same and then I decided on several occasions to lift the needle that reproduced the acetate (I am talking about 1970). Every time I did it without my memory proposing it to me, the interrupted movement would continue until it was finished, which intensified my feeling of pleasure and well-being.
A los 14 años la conocí. Me transformaba gratamente por dentro tanto que temí en algún momento que si la escuchaba muchas veces su efecto ya no fuera el mismo y entonces decidí en varias ocasiones levantar la aguja que reproducía el acetato (hablo de 1970). Cada que lo hacía sin que me lo propusiera mi memoria continuaba el movimiento interrumpido hasta concluirlo, lo cual intensificaba mi sensación de placer y bienestar.
As I've been pampering my 37 year old cassette tape that's wearing thin and can't seem to find on CD...this is by far the next best option...thank you so much for sharing!
Handel will always be great
I grew up on classical music. My Grandfather would put on the old 78 records. Bach, Beethoven, Mozart, Handel, Strauss. I loved it. It was so soothing.
My grandfather taught me the waltzes too.
Thank you! The same to you!!
It's wanderful to see how beautifuly music can connect people around the world!
La música de heandel siempre grandiosa,es como el triunfo de lo hermoso,de la maravilla de vivir.lo escuché desde niño y me cautivó por siempre
What is heandel?
Lo escribi mal ,perdon
perfect tempo, marvellous beats, alluring interpretation, absolute presence , impeccable co-ordination between notes, foremost rewarding and mysteriously attractive.
Bravo!!!!!
Not only a dog , but to me, also, I who do love all of the animals & the Baroque & Classical Musick of Haendel & of all of the Classical composers, who are now in heaven or still on the earth, Almighty God has given to them all a particular gift of being able to create wonderful music that will last forever
This grand composition, artfully written for a single royal jaunt, is timeless.
Indeed. And because the king liked it very much, they played it constantly and went up and down the Thames!
Georg Friedrich Händel's Wassermusik is incomparable, unforgettable and EPIC !!! Legends suggest that this master piece was composed for King George I of England. Bravo !!! this music is mesmerizing, beautiful and merits to be played on earth and our galaxy for eternity !!!!

It’s not a legend; Handel’s Water Music was written as a specific piece d’occasion for a Royal water party on the River Thames in London.
Divinely inspired music. To God be the glory.
Amen
Vivaldi, Mozart, Beethoven, Thaikoski y sobre todo, Handell, para mi los mejores ... Esta Música Acuática es un calmante para el alma de las desdichas que los idiotas, egoístas, envidiosos, etc, diariamente nos ocasionan...Si estos crétinos digirieran esta música, seguramente serían de otra manera...ellos siguen sufriendo...y yo continúo feliz al escuchar esta música que me pone a mil...❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Não se esqueça de Bach
There is a certain timeless quality to Handel's music. I think that is the secret of its endurance.
I can't stop listening to the first part of the Menuet - IV. Andante 54:50 -- its playfulness belies it brilliance.
The sound has an affect on the matter. God made us the way we should praise Him and seek for the beauty such as classical Music.
I've literally had a serious and painful anxiety that gave me heart and stomachache. After I played this wonderful music, my pain is gone!
Thank you Dear Lord!
Amen
Superstitious conspiracies - always being spread on good music videos for some annoying reason...
@@TheOneAndOnlyZenoRegardless of your stance on a theological or religious level, you should at least be glad for the other person that their pain and suffering was alleviated by listening of this beautiful music.
As the old saying goes, if you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say it. Intentionally or not, your comment did come off as rather harsh.
@@Noah-LandNumbers Pure coincidence, no need for religious bulls---
@@TheOneAndOnlyZeno To each their own I suppose. Although still no need to insult 80% of the world population who are religious. :-)
When listening to this kind of music, time and again, that it comes to my mind: Music is the best investment for minds/hearts and the returns are tempting indeed. I have been a careful 'investor' for the last four decades and the returns I got were immesurable. Thanks.
I play the water music selection in my clinic and the patients love it!
No you don't stop lying
@@JC.Denton. bruh
Thank so much for posting this splendid music video of one of my favorite of the classical/Baroque musicians!
Water music by Handel may be my favorite piece of classical music to listen to... so soothing and beneficial to the soul. I am a huge solid gold oldies music/songs from my favorite decade(s) the 60's and 70's... but have a place for beautiful Baroque classical music as well.
Health, Joy, Peace and Blessings to all of you listening and reading this... God Bless America!

As I listen I envision a whole family loving, losing, holding their heads high. 🤗
The whole thing is absolutely beautiful but Suite No.1 in F Major: IV. Air (18:37) is just sublime.
Air is absolutely magic❤
Wunderbare Musik, tres belle musique, lovely music, solemne y cadenciosa música del gran Haendel !!
This is beautiful Baroque music. So watery. Feel like taking a hot bath followed by a cool shower. Then drinking some H2O.
This cool masterpiece will your parched soul and evoke comfortable and cool feelings
It restoreth my soul.
