  1. SILVA SCREEN RECORDS PRESENTS
    NEW WATER MUSIC FOR THE THAMES DIAMOND JUBILEE PAGEANT
    ENSEMBLE H 2.0

    On July 17, 1717 George Frideric Handel premiered his composition Water Music after King George I requested a concert to be performed on the River Thames. Close to 300 years later this major musical milestone will be emulated on London’s famous waterway.

    The New Water Music draws on Handel’s original titles with eleven leading contemporary British composers contributing a newly written five-minute movement each. The work will be performed for the first time on a barge, which will be part of a 1000 boat flotilla celebrating the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee.

    The Thames Diamond Jubilee Pageant will take place on Saturday June 3rd in the presence of The Queen and, will be televised worldwide with an estimated one billion audience.

    The composers include Anne Dudley (Oscar winner for The Full Monty), Stephen Warbeck (Oscar winner for Shakespeare In Love), Christopher Gunning (Poirot), Debbie Wiseman (Wilde), and Julian Nott (Wallace & Gromit).

    • ANNE DUDLEY - “FAST - SLOW - FAST”
    • GRAHAM FITKIN - “SLOWISH”
    • HOWARD GOODALL - “RIGAUDON”
    • GAVIN GREENAWAY - “PASSEPIED”
    • CHRISTOPHER GUNNING - “JUBILEE GAVOTTE-ROCK”
    • ADRIAN JOHNSTON - “ALLA HORNPIPE”

    It seems the BBC did not reveal these works in their best possible light during its interminable jubilee broadcasting (especially odd considering I daresay it was the BBC - hence the British taxpayer - who paid for them):

    Yes, I read about this from various individuals on Twitter during the pageant. It is scandalous that this specially-composed music was omitted completely from the programming, especially when it seems a significant amount of time was spent garnering the opinions of so-called celebrities on other aspects of the day.

    (I managed to avoid all of the events over the weekend that were related to the Diamond Jubilee.)

    Handel? They've been trying to emulate HANDEL???

    I'm rather glad I missed the whole thing altogether.

    They weren't trying to emulate him musically. Only the concept.
