About "Handel: Concerto grosso in G Minor, Op. 6 No. 6, HWV 324: III. Musette" by Bath Festival Orchestra
A musette's rustic bagpipe drone emerges from Baroque elegance, its gentle sway masking a subtle melancholy. The Bath Festival Orchestra renders Handel's concerto grosso movement with pastoral calm, yet beneath the lilting triple meter lies a quiet, unsettled tension between courtly refinement and earthy simplicity.
