Notes
|
Handel's
Water Music, in
the form in which we
know it, is a superdirnensional
orchestral suite which
possibly is a combination
of smaller suites composed
at various times and
for various occasions.
Musically, it is possible to distinguish among three
groups of movements - in F
majorand D minor, in D major and
in G major and G minor. However,
it is uncertain whether these were
in fact three suites written for
the three more or less
well-documented functions
involving "water music", that is
to say, royal boat trips on the
Thames in 1715, 1717 and 1736.
Even the first parts edition,
published by John Walsh in London
in 1732 or 1733, combines under
the title "The Celebrated Water
Musick" movements in all three
keys, but totals "only" twelve movements. Walsh's
later edition for harpsichord -
"Handel's Celebrated Water
Musick Compleat" (around 1743) -
adds nine movements, but
nevertheless is still not yet
"compleat". The most complete
contemporary source, a scope
copy which probably originated
from Handel's copyst John
Christopher Smith jr.,
incorporates all the movements
in the sequence usual today,
excepting No. 10, which comes
from Walsh's printed parts.
Presumably the score copy was
conceived as a kind of
stocktaking operation, while
Walsh published whatever
happened to come into his hands.
As was so often the case, Handel
himself will have taken from the twenty movements
the one suitable for a certain
performance. Similiarly the
original suites, if there were
really several of them, were
each composed for a special
occasion, and precisely only
this occasion, not beeing
conceived as "works" which in
binding shape and movement
sequence should have survived
the times. Nevertheless they
have survived,
thanks to their quality.
