The thirty-first classical recording: #115 George Frideric Handel - Music for the Royal Fireworks
The overture of this piece is one of the longest, in percentage, probably because it was leading up to the important main event. There's almost a bit of encouragement in there, getting people's excitement up while waiting. The main music, in comparisonm feels a bit tame, and that's probably because the fireworks bangs would punctuate and add aggression to the atmosphere. It's hard to blame it for not having as much oomph here. Instead it's a gentler piece, but one that doesn't emphasize it. I'd say it has confidence in its sound, if that makes sense.
The allegro La Réjouissance does speed up (even if that's relative), bringing in some more speed and support. The wind instruments add a different throughline that support some more exciting playing. It either follows or is followed by the menuet, which are more impressive, heavier pieces. They feel like they would go with fireworks better, but I can see how we'd have a build up here that works with the fireworks as they would be taking place. It would be impressive to see live, outdoors, given the chance.
