Several motifs from the ‘Water Music’ appear in this work, which seems to illustrate many water ‘features’, not just bubbling, but flowing, cascading, freezing, evaporating, drenching…
The music is one of eight brand new works selected from the 98 international entries to the Handel-Inspired Composition Competition, played on the 1998 chamber organ (one manual, no pedals) by Goetze and Gwynn, a reproduction of a mid-eighteenth century instrument owned by Charles Jennens (‘librettist’ of Messiah), commissioned by the Handel House Museum.
