#handel brought the heat to London Ep 27 Water Music & Royal Fireworks by George Frideric Handel

London wasn’t always the centre of music that it is today. Even for the nobility, options could be limited. For commoners, more so. But if you happened to be in London in 1717 or 1749 you may have caught two of the most ambitious, sometimes hazardous, public music performances ever staged in the city. The music composed for these events sounds just as joyful, triumphant, and oddly serene, centuries later. Hold onto your wigs, as we explain Handel’s Water Music and Royal Fireworks.
