La grotta di Trofonio (Trofonio's Cave) is an opera, described as an opera comica, in two acts (five scenes) composed by Antonio Salieri to an Italian libretto by Giovanni Battista Casti.
The work was first performed in Vienna at the Burgtheater on 12 October 1785. The similarity of the story of the opera may have influenced Lorenzo da Ponte when he wrote the libretto of Mozart's Così fan tutte.

Sidney Bailin studied piano and composition at Juilliard. Otto Luening taught him how to trust his ear. Bailin says "... whenever I would ask him how I can know if what I wrote was right, he wouldn’t say anything but would just point to his ear."
Becoming more and more fascinated with mathematics, Bailin moved to Columbia University to pursue a double major in Music and Mathematics, then took graduate degrees in maths from Oxford. But unlike many composers who have flirted with mathematics, Bailin insists on the primacy of emotion and intuition.
An experimental method demonstrated in this release is the insertion of screws between the strings of a piano. The resulting sounds are reminiscent of Indonesian gamelan music. They are the "wedges" (hence the title of that work) that pierce the ordinary notes.
Jazz has always influenced Bailin's composing. The imitative counterpoint of improvisational jazz shows up in Reeds by the Shore as multiple sax-like voices reinforcing, celebrating, and contradicting each other.

Franz Joseph Haydn (31 March 1732 – 31 May 1809) was an Austrian composer of the Classical period. He was instrumental in the development of chamber music such as the piano trio. His contributions to musical form have earned him the epithets "Father of the Symphony" and "Father of the String Quartet".
Haydn spent much of his career as a court musician for the wealthy Esterházy family at their remote estate. Until the later part of his life, this isolated him from other composers and trends in music so that he was, as he put it, "forced to become original". Yet his music circulated widely, and for much of his career, he was the most celebrated composer in Europe.
He was a friend and mentor of Mozart, a tutor of Beethoven, and the older brother of composer Michael Haydn.

Maria di Rohan is a melodramma tragico, or tragic opera, in three acts by Gaetano Donizetti. The Italian libretto was written by Salvadore Cammarano, after Lockroy and Edmond Badon's Un duel sous le cardinal de Richelieu, which had played in Paris in 1832. The story is based on events of the life of Marie de Rohan.

Messiah, HWV 56, is an English-language oratorio composed in 1741 by George Frideric Handel, with a scriptural text compiled by Charles Jennens from the King James Bible, and from the Coverdale Psalter, the version of the Psalms included with the Book of Common Prayer. It was first performed in Dublin on 13 April 1742 and received its London premiere nearly a year later. After an initially modest public reception, the oratorio gained in popularity, eventually becoming one of the best-known and most frequently performed choral works in Western music.
