Does anyone recall, did not the original performance of the Handel

The fireworks burned down a building, but I don't believe anything
approaching all of London. I always liked his Water Music, and I used
to think of the two pieces as 'ying and yang', mystically connected
somehow. Probably there's no history to justify this feeling.... but
what do I know?
