'Music' spelt with a 'K'? must be some fancy pants 18th century stuff. But Handel sounds good however you spell it (or him, Handle?) See the church notice below
Saturday 2 June 10 – 12 Coffee morning at Cranfield Parish Church – enjoy coffee/tea and a cake whilst listening to local musicians playing excepts from Handel's Water Musick and his Firework Music. Music starts at 10.30.
These well-known majestic pieces of music have royal connections ... Handel's Water Musick was premiered for King George 1st on his parade up the Thames on 17th July 1717, whilst the Firework Music was commissioned by King George 2nd to celebrate the end of the Austrian war of Succession. Over 12,000 Londoners watched its rehearsal on 21st April 1749 in Vauxhall Gardens in London, before a concert for King George on 27th April 1749. So why not get into the spirit of the Jubilee weekend and enjoy a drink and cake in the grand setting of our local parish church. All welcome; please pop in and enjoy the delightful ambiance.
