ANSWER: Geography/Music

Thames

George I of England loved a good party, and what better entertainment than a late night excursion down the River Thames with royal friends, accompanied by a barge full of musicians! One such event took place on July 17, 1717, and the King enjoyed the music so much that he asked that it be repeated three times in succession—thus hosting a party that lasted until 3:00 in the morning. And so was born George Frideric Handel's acclaimed WATER MUSIC. These lively suites of dances caught on with the general public like wildfire and have gone on to become one of the most popular pieces in all of western music.
