 ML> forces and many decibels. I mean, the Royal Fireworks

 NB> I think it was Royal Fireworks...

I thought so but was/am not sure. My father had a recording
of Beecham conducting both, and I read the liner notes about
55 years ago and not since.

 no ordnance involved with the Water
 NB> Music...  That just got played to death as they moved up and down the
 NB> Thames...  ;)

To the degree that one wanted to blow up the barge.

I think I enjoyed hearing it about once. Playing it ditto.

I can sort of imagine carob coated malt balls, but they
wouldn't fit with my way of eating such candies - sucking
the outside off and then letting the middles fall apart
in my mouth.
