that was a really sweet thing to do, and it was obvious that is made him really happy.The first song that was on his list of favorites was “Lacrymosa”, from “Requiem” by Wolfgang Amedeus Mozart (1756-1791), a Viennese Classical composer who was popular during the enlightenment of the late 18th century in Europe. Next was a piece entitled “The heavens are Telling” from ”The Creation”, by Franz Joseph Haydn (1732-1809), another popular Viennese Classical Composer. Third was “How Lovely is thy Dwelling Place” from “A German Requiem,” by Johannes Brahms (1833-1897). Brahms was a German Composer known during the Romantic Era for composing symphonies and sonatas modeled after Beethoven’s style. Next is “He, Watching Over Israel” from “Elijah” by Felix Mendelssohn, who was, like Johannes Brahms, another German composer from the Romantic Era. Fifth is “Worthy is the Lamb that was Slain” from “Messiah” by George Friderich Handel. He was a German Composer who produced and composed Italian Opera in London. This piece was from his most famous work, “Messiah.” The last piece to finish off the night was “Chorus of the Hebrew Slaves” from “Nabucco”, by Giuseppe Verdi, an Italian, who was famous for his Italian Operas, which are still widely produced today.I preferred the last half of the performance to the first. I liked it because the musical style of a few of the pieces seemed familiar to me. For example, “Worthy is the Lamb that was Slain” from “Messiah” reminded me of something that I played in band in Intermediate school. I didn’t even know I could remember that far back until I listened and it just popped into my head. We did play a few Pieces by Handel, so I very well could have recognized it.As a whole, I enjoyed the performance. In class, you said there...
