Haydn's Harmoniemesse sounds classical. There are dynamic contrasts, but nothing that is so drastic it screams "too much!" Instead of memorizing specific melodic lines, harmonic progressions, or clever musical technics, I just need to know this sounds classical. And it's in Latin. And follows a traditional mass setting. I love the Agnus Dei, as it's the same as Haydn's theme in "Be Gracious" from the Seasons.
There are so many pieces of music. I'm trying to hold onto the main themes of them, but it's a lot. At any rate, there are only a few I have difficulty really having any clue about. Now I just need to make sure I have all the information needed. There is a lot of information floating in my head.
Up for sound review: Beethoven Missa Solemnis, Vaughan Williams Sea Symphony, Mendelssohn Elijah. Up for fact review: Everything. But at least I know a little bit about all the pieces. Some more than others.
The last few nights of sleep have not been good for me. I have tossed and turned a lot. I hope tonight is better. I think it will be.
