thewayneHandel's Water Suite
I am continuing my "listen to all of my music, alphabetically" while writing my last couple of entries, and it dawned on me that I'm listening to a lot of cool Baroque music, so I flip over to iTunes, and there it is: The Water Suite. But I couldn't remember, though I was fairly sure that it was a series commissioned by the king and played on barges while they floated down the Thames. I was correct, but there's a lot of other interesting info in the wiki entry.
