| Georg Friedrich Händel: Water Music - Music For The Royal Fireworks: Organ:Format : Sheet music Cembalo Orgel - Flute Violine - Bc-Score with 3 parts (Flute/Oboe/Violin; Basso Continuo with figures (Cello/Bass); Basso Continuo realised with figures (Harpsichord/Organ)Musical text with arrangements by two Handel contemporaries as well as the editor’s own arrangement for Harpsichord or Organ.All editorial additions are clearly marked.Equally effective when performed note-for-note on the Organ.As early as 1743 while Handel was still alive Francesco Geminiani produced an arrangement of the Water Music for Keyboard instruments thereby making it possible to perform this popular work in domestic surroundings. Then presumably in 1749 an unknown musician arranged theMusic for the Royal Fireworks for transverse Flute or Violin and Harpsichord. In addition to these two contemporary versions this edition also contains an arrangement by the editor for Harpsichord or Organ based on the first edition. Though both early sources explicitly mention a Harpsichord the arrangements can also be performed effectively note-for-note on the Organ. As the surviving anonymous version merely places a solo part and a figured Bass on a two-stave system our edition is accompanied by performance material with one part each for transverse Flute/Oboe/Violin and Violoncello/Double Bass plus a figured Bass realisation.
