Written in 1723, Bach's Cantata 147 holds the familiar chorale setting of "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring" within its beautiful melodies.

Brahm's Alto Rhapsody was written as a wedding gift for Robert Schumann's daughter, but perhaps more as a solace for his unrequited love.

Oneof the mysteries of artistic creation is that a work of such innocence and optimism as Britton's Ceremony of Carols could result from a perilous 1942 crossing of the North Atlantic.

Prince Esterhazy commissioned Beethoven to compose a mass in honor of his wife's name day in 1807. Though not as well known as his Ninth Symphony, Beethoven's Mass in C has remained a favorite for its balance and beautiful melodies.
