This untitled piece in the form of a sarabande opens the third suite of Handel's Water Music. The solo flute, supported by the first violins, sings a flexible melody atop a transparent background that, even at its most active, moves no faster than in quarter notes.
Thanks to Doug for suggesting this piece!
