The ‘Water Music’ is a collection of orchestral movements, often published as three suites, composed by Georg Friederich Händel. It premiered on 17 July 1717, in response to King George I's request for a concert on the River Thames. The ‘Water Music’ opens with a French ‘overture’ and includes ‘minuets’, ‘bourrées’, and ‘hornpipes’. The ‘Overture’ (Largo – Allegro) and the 'Allegro'are the most well known parts of the suite and now transcribed for a Clarinet Choir by Dutch arranger Gerhart Drijvers.
