Water EMS 28th Nov

It's the last of Hannah's excursion around the four 'classical' elements. Now I wonder if Handel's Water Music will get an outing?

I had wondered if "Drop drop slow tears" might count so was pleased that it did. A good selection of pieces I thought, and a high proportion "new to me". I had not considered the origins of the hornpipe, so that was something learned today as well.

I hope Telemann's Water Music was in there somewhere.....

I haven't heard it all yet, BUT I caught the last item, Dowland's 'Can she excuse my wrongs' in the consort version. It sounded horrible! Much prefer the solo + lute version anyway. Will hear the whole show later.

Hamburger Ebb und Fluth, according to the playlist (part of?)

It sounds like a big mac topped with egg!

Very briefly - in the lovely Zefiro recording.

I have to say that I find Hannah French's habit of talking over the first few bars of each piece and coming in again before the end very annoying.

Yes it is. I dare say it's the producer's idea. Who does he/she think is tuning in to EMS?

Yes that's the full title of Telemann's Wassermusik.....just as catchy as, and c/w the Handel on a really lovely outhere music/Naive album...
