Water Music Suite by George Frideric Handel, arranged for string orchestra by Forest Etling (Grade 3), is a charming adaptation of Handel’s famous Baroque orchestral suites. This version preserves the suite’s joyful, water-inspired dances—such as minuets, hornpipes, and airs—while tailoring them to be playable and musically rewarding for intermediate string players. It’s a graceful and expressive way to bring Handel’s timeless energy and elegance to the concert hall.
