La Réjouissance/2 Menuets from Music for the Royal Firework
La Réjouissance, Menuet I and Menuet II from Music for the Royal Fireworks by George Frideric Handel
4 minutes 58 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 synthesizer, August 20, 2007, to celebrate my own bit of rejoicing.
Music composed in 1749 by George Frideric Handel (public domain)

LOL!
I love playing La Réjouissance on my transverse recorder as well!
I often call it a ''flute'' because of the way I hold it, but it's mouthpiece uses the recorder's technology, not a flute's. It's range is awesome! - about three usable octaves, and up to five octaves if you're just trying to overblow on 1STs and 5THs.
