Handel Water Music Suite No. 1 in F Major, HWV 348
Let the currents of Baroque elegance carry you into spring. The concert begins with Handel’s jubilant “Arrival of the Queen of Sheba,” a festive and regal opener that sets the tone for the morning. Vivaldi’s Cello Concerto in a minor, RV 419, showcases the expressive voice of the instrument and is filled with rhythmic drive and lyrical beauty. Geminiani’s Concerto Grosso “La Folia,” based on a hauntingly ancient theme reimagined by Corelli, builds in intensity with virtuosic flair. Boccherini’s graceful Minuet provides a touch of charm and poise before we return to Handel for the exuberant Water Music Suite No. 1, filled with fanfares, flowing lines, and the unmistakable joy of music written to accompany royal festivities on the Thames.
