George Frideric Handel
Orchestration
2 oboes, bassoon, 2 horns, harpsichord, strings
Notes
Hornpipes, airs, and the robust rhythms of English folk dances emerge naturally from the music as though Handel had been hearing them his whole life, with hints of Purcell lingering in the background. It doesn’t take a musicologist to understand the immediate popularity of the Water Music.

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Orchestration
flute, 2 oboes, 2 bassoons, 2 horns, 2 trumpets, timpani, strings
Notes
Whatever the reasons for their composition, the three symphonies were to be a fitting valedictory statement to a form in which Mozart excelled. They are among the finest ever composed.

Redlands Symphony Orchestra plays Han...
11/24/14 • by Betty Tyler • The Redlands Daily Facts
Scott made the Telemann Trumpet Concerto sing with clear, sweet, liquid notes. It may not have been easy, but Scott made it sound as easy as running your finger over a smooth string of pearls.
The performance of Mozart's 40th was amazing. How Maestro Wilson conceived and brought forth the intensity, tension, and considerable emotion moved me deeply. The orchestra's discipline and preciseness were astonishing. When you've got only two horns, two oboes, two bassoons, and two clarinets, there's no room to fudge the pitch in the opening note of a phrase. I loved the way the horns and basses supported and colored the melodies.
As you can tell, I'm not a musician, but I am a huge Mozart fan. I'm also a huge fan of the Redlands Symphony and count myself fortunate to be able to attend a local concert of such glorious music.
