Menuet I from Music for the Royal Fireworks by George Frideric Handel
2 minutes 56 seconds
The composition Music for the Royal Fireworks was commissioned by King George II (of Great Britain...) to celebrate the end of the War of the Austrian Succession and the signing of the Treaty of Aix-la-Chapelle. For the original performance, a special wooden building had been built for the musicians, which caught fire when a huge statue of George II fell (and presumably knocked over some of the fireworks).
If you ever get a chance to see the Music for the Royal Fireworks performed along with live fireworks, do so! It is a spectacular combination! (Even without the building burning down! XD)
Handel's Messiah is a popular ''sing-along'' Christmas piece; I hereby propose that his Music for the Royal Fireworks should become a ''play-along'' 4th of July piece!
Performed live on Casio CT-670 keyboard, and Tascam Porta-1 4-track tape recorder on July 20, 1996 for my friends Tom and Patty at their wedding in Half Moon Bay.
Music composed in 1749 by George Frideric Handel (public domain)
(P) 1996
