Start of Hornpipe from Water Music by G F Handel, played by Jeremy Filsell on the organ at Lancing College Chapel

To speed up the loading of this sample for you only reduced quality music is used. The sample is in MONO and uses the MPEG2 compression system using a bit rate of 64 kbit/s. Some of the imperfections of the coding process introduce "artifacts" or "funny extra noises"

To listen to MPEG audio samples you need a suitable player. Players are already incorporated in some Browsers (e.g. Internet Explorer 3.02) or can be downloaded from several Web sites free of charge including one from Philips noted on the MPEG organisation's site.

Guild Music CDs are, of course, of full quality and in stereo.
