THE EMPLOYERS' FIRE INSURANCE CO. 14 I SUITE FOR ORCHESTRA (from the WATER MUSIC) By George Frideric Handel Born at Halle, February 23, 1685; died in London, April 14, 1759 Arranored bv Sir Hamilton Harty* Handel's Water Music was probably composed and performed in parts in 1715 and 1717. The original autograph has been lost. A suite from the music was published by John \Valsh in 1720, and another version, differently arranged, in 1740. The full suite of 20 movements was published in the Samuel Arnold edition (1785-1797), and appeared in the complete works as edited by Chrysander. Sir Hamilton Harty, arranging a suite of six movements in 1918, and then per- forming it at the Halle Concerts, has scored it for two flutes and piccolo, two oboes, two clarinets, four horns, timpani and strings (published in 1922) . Suites from the Water Music, derived from Chrysander, have been performed by this Orchestra December 11, 1885, October 21, 1887, December 21, 1900, and March 18, 1927. Handel's time, parties on the Thames were a favorite recreation IN of Londoners in the summer season. R. A. Streatfeild has described the custom in his Life of Handel (1909) : "The River Thames was then, far more than now, one of the main highways of London. It was still Spenser's 'silver Thames,' and on a summer's day it must have presented a picture of life and gaiety very different from its present melancholy and deserted aspect. It was peopled by an immense fleet of boats devoted solely to passenger traffic, which were signalled by passing wayfarers from numerous piers between Blackfriars and Putney, just as one now signals a hansom or taxicab. Besides the humble boats that plied for hire, there were plenty of private barges fitted up with no little luxury and manned by liveried servants. The manners and customs of the boatmen were peculiar, and their wit- combats, carried on in the rich and expressive vernacular of Billings- gate, were already proverbial . George I liked the River. When the Court was at Whitehall water parties to Richmond or Hampton Court were of frequent occurrence, and as often as not the royal barge was accompanied by an attendant boat laden with musicians." Handel, serving as kapellmeister to Georg Ludwig, Elector of Han- over, obtained leave of absence to visit England in 1712. He not only overstayed his leave, but came under the open patronage of the reign- ing Queen Anne, between whom and Georg there was no love lost. Handel, while thus still bound to the House of Hanover, composed his Ode to ^hieen Anne, and his Te Deum and Jnbilate for the hated Peace of Utrecht. When the Queen died in 1714, Georg was crowned George I of England and Handel's position became suddenly pre- carious. He was pointedly ignored by the new monarch and so deprived of his principal opportunities for social recognition and consequent •Bom at Hillsboroueh. County Down, Ireland. December 4, 1879; died February 19, 1941. [51 income. But the continuing ostracism of the illustrious Handel would have been likewise a true deprivation to George himself, for he had brought with him from Germany a passion for music which was more enduring than his dislike of a dead queen. It was obviously a question of a propitious moment, and Handel had friends ready to do their tactful part when that moment should come. There are three legends circumstantially related at the time, each claiming the achievement of this act of grace. The Water Music is connected with two of them. One of Handel's true friends was Francesco Geminiani, violinist and composer for the violin, two years younger than himself. Geminiani, so the story goes, was asked to play one of his concertos at Court, and replying, admitted a rubato in his style so incorrigible that no one could be trusted to accompany him and not be thrown off but Handel himself. Handel was accordingly asked, and accordingly reinstated. But Handel had other colleagues equally ready to claim the credit for the good deed. One was the Baron von Kielmansegger, Royal Master of the Horse to King George, and his wife who was the natural daughter of the King's father by the Countess von Platen.* According to Mainwaring, Handel's first biographer, in 1760, the year after his death, Kielmansegger took advantage of a projected water party by the King and his retinue on the Thames from White- hall to Limehouse on August 22, 1715.

Sutanto B.M., The Boston Conservatory, 1995 M.M., Manhattan School of Music, 1997 Committee Chair: Prof. Frank Weinstock Abstract Vladimir Horowitz and Evgeny Kissin would certainly be included among the very few of the greatest pianists ever recorded. This document provides a detailed description of their interpretations of Modest Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition based on their recordings. The document begins with brief biographical information about Mussorgsky and Victor Hartmann, which is then followed by a historical background of Pictures. Brief biographies of Horowitz and Kissin are included as well. The concluding chapter discusses whether or not it is important for pianists to follow Mussorgsky’s original intentions regarding the suite. Is it necessary for pianists to make some changes or improvisations to the suite—eccentric playing? Will Pictures still sound good and interesting if pianists faithfully follow the score—academic playing? Pianists Frank Weinstock and Jason Kwak offer their opinions in answering these questions.
