Water Music by Handel is a bright classical piece arranged here by John Herndon for 8 players. The combination of wood and metal keyboard sounds, with the glockenspiel and xylophone hovering over the top of the texture, creates a nice blend of melodies and harmonies that's fun to play and accessible to audiences.
