Does motion cause the twinkling in fireworks?
The motion of the burning products of certain pyrotechnic composition as they fall through the air exposes these products to more air than if they were motionless. The oxygen in the air reacts with the complex mixture of chemicals contained in the hot reaction products of the burning composition. These products commonly contain antimony, carbon, aluminum sulfur and often a carbon dioxide producer such as an oxalate or bicarbonate. The complex reactions that take place in the air, eventually results in the liquid by products of burning to react explosively and the individual droplets explodes in a flash of light, This effect is often referred to as a glitter or flitter reaction. Alternatively small solid pellets, sometimes only 1-3 mm in diameter, reacts intermittently and produces a strobe-like effect, which when viewed in large numbers appears as cloud of twinkling lights. Even experienced pyrotechnists can not always distinguish a cloud of solid strobe stars from a cloud of liquid glitter droplets reacting with atmospheric oxygen. In the instance of glitter the motion is critically important, however small solid stars (sometimes called microstars) dispersed from a fireworks aerial shell or rocket will function to produce a twinkling effect even if ignited while sitting motionless on the ground. The details of the chemistry of these twinkling effects is only partially understood but universally appreciated. - RMW

Handel is one of the best comporsers. Every Valley, is a composition that I like so much. He was the son of a barber-surgeon. He wanted George to become a lawyer, but George was captured by the sound of music. His aunt gave him a spinet for his 7th birthday. The spinet was put in the attick and Handel visited the attick day making a virtuoso.

What is the history behind fireworks on the 4th of July?
A Brief History of Fireworks
Provided by Fireworks in America
"The day will be most memorable in the history of America. I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary festival. It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, bonfires and illuminations (fireworks) from one end of this continent to the other, from this time forward forever more."
So wrote John Adams on July 3, 1776 to his wife after the Continental Congress had decided to proclaim the American colonies independent of England. Fireworks were associated with Independence Day celebrations even before the signing of the Declaration.
The discovery of gunpowder and the invention of the first fireworks (bamboo cases or rolled paper tubes filled with explosives) are traditionally credited to the Chinese, although India is also a likely source. The sound of these first firecrackers, which appeared about 1,000 years ago, was so loud that the Chinese were soon convinced that the noise would scare away evil spirits. Then almost any event - be it birth, death, wedding, coronation or New Year celebration - became a fit occasion for the noisemakers.
Fireworks made their way to Europe sometime in the 13th century, probably carried back from the East by Crusaders. Their popularity grew, and by the 15th century they were widely used for religious festivals and public entertainment. The Italians were the first Europeans to manufacture fireworks and were the second undisputed European masters of fireworks-making through the end of the 17th century. Their wares were used all over Europe to mark great occasions.
The first recorded display in England celebrated the wedding of Henry VII in 1487. Shakespeare mentions them several times in his plays, and Elizabeth I enjoyed them so much she appointed a "Fire Master of England". James II was so delighted with his coronation display that he knighted his fire-master and the Holy Roman Emperor Charles V also valued fireworks - his army contained "fire workers" whose sole function was to stage victory displays.
Fireworks displays became more and more extravagant as the years passed, although events were not always the spectacles they were designed to be. To celebrate the end of the War of the Austrian Succession in 1742, George II ordered an elaborate display and brought in the Italian experts. The preparations took six months, and the result was a huge machine with almost 11,000 rockets and pinwheels surrounding the structure. Handel's Music for the Royal Fireworks, which included the firing of one hundred brass cannons, was commissioned especially for the occasion. Just as the event was getting underway, an argument broke out between the English and Italian fireworkers,and the North Pavilion of the machine exploded as a result. The show went on,but proved to be a great disappointment. Some called it "a grand whim for posterity to laugh at."
The earliest settlers brought their love of fireworks to this country. Firings of black powder were used to celebrate holidays and to impress the natives. This fascination with the noise and color of fireworks did not weaken with the passage of time. Pranksters in the colony of Rhode Island caused enough problems that in 1731 a ban was established on the mischievous use of fireworks.
By the time of the American Revolution, fireworks had long played a part in celebrating important events. It was natural, then, that not only John Adams but also many of his countrymen should think of fireworks when independence was declared. The very first celebration of Independence Day was in 1777, six years before Americans knew whether the new nation would even survive the war, and fireworks were a part of the revels. In 1789, George Washington's inauguration was accompanied by a beautiful display.
Throughout the following years, as the benefits of this new and booming nation came within the grasp of large numbers of citizens, Americans' growing self-confidence infused them with the spirit of celebration. With this turn, fireworks became more popular than ever. Starting even in the late 18th century, politicians used displays to attract crowds to their speeches.
In 1892, a 400-year celebration of Columbus landing on our shores lit up the Brooklyn Bridge. Over one million people witnessed the event which was considered the greatest show ever seen in the Western Hemisphere.
Among the very recent magnificent displays, of course, have been the 1976 Bicentennial in the Nation's Capital, the 1983 Brooklyn Bridge Centennial, the Macy's extravaganzas, the inaugurations of Presidents Reagan, Bush and Clinton, annual Independence Day celebrations and many more.
But all stand in shadow of the 1986 celebration of the Fourth of July and the 100th anniversary of the Statue of Liberty. The skies lit up over New York Harbor and the Statue of Liberty on July 4, 1986, with a dazzling fireworks display destined to surpass any others held in this country, or the world.The "Statue of Liberty Centennial Fireworks Spectacular" was an international display, with fireworks from many different countries including Japan, China, Germany, Italy, England, France, Spain, Canada, Australia, Taiwan and Brazil. Many were developed especially for this international program, never before seen anywhere in the world. Approximately 22,000 aerial fireworks were launched from over 30 barges and other vantage points, and an additional 18,000 "set pieces" - ground pictures, fountains, colorful low displays - were seen, stretching from the East River, around the tip of Manhattan, up into the Hudson River, and around the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island.
The production required an estimated 220 miles of wires, 777,000 pounds of mortar tubes (through which sky rockets and aerial bombs were launched) 30,000 pounds of insundry equipment and staff of at least 100 pyrotechnics on the sites to produce the displays. The men responsible for producing this colossal event are among the most famous in the fireworks industry: George Zambelli, president, Zambelli Internationale, Inc., Newcastle, Pennsylvania; Felix Grucci, Jr., president, Fireworks by Grucci, Inc., Bellport, New York; and Robert A. Souza, president of Pyro Spectaculars of Rialto (Los Angeles), California. Known as fierce competitors in the industry, they never before worked as a "triad", yet for this event worked closely for nearly a year, designing and planning the largest and most magnificent display in the world in honor of Independence Day and Miss Liberty's 100th anniversary.
Fireworks have been with Americans since the nation's very beginnings, and now more fireworks and ignited for the Fourth of July Than for any other national celebration in the world.
