Composer's name is listed where notable (i.e. Classical Performance, Jazz Performance).
For more information on any of the rock, pop and Jazz music featured on this program, I frequently utilize AllMusic , an excellent free database holding a huge plethora of information about music and the artists that make it.

Classical, Baroque era, orchestral |
Curb, 1995 |
Written for a series of royal river excursions down the Thames River. The first of these is known to have taken place on Aug. 3, 1715. |
Water Music Suite No. 3 in G Major |
The third suite is believed to have been written for a river party that took place on 4/28/1736. There is no particularly proper listening order - we could do it chronologically, which is my usual practice. This time, we are doing the 3rd suite second, because it plays at a slower pace than the 2nd. | ||||
