Reference: From Walt Disney's "Song of the South." The song and movie which were a part of my childhood always bring back pleasant memories. One of my daughters claimed a song for herself and I claimed this song for my own. Whenever I am feeling low, I gladden with a refrain from this song.

William Tell Overture, by Gioacchino Rossini

Reference: Rossini occupied an unrivalled position in the Italian musical world of his time, winning considerable success relatively early in his career. The son of a horn-player and a mother who made a career for herself in opera, as a boy he had direct experience of operatic performance, both in the orchestra pit and on stage. His operas from his first relative success in 1810 until 1823 were first performed in Italy. There followed a period of success in Paris, leading to his final opera, Guillaume Tell, staged in Paris in 1829. The revolution of 1830 prevented the fulfillment of French royal commissions for the theatre, but in his later life he continued to enjoy considerable esteem, both in Paris, where he spent much of his last years, and in his native Italy. There he spent the years from 1837 until 1855, before returning finally to France, where he died in 1868.

Prelude and Fugue, by J. S. Bach

Reference: The term fuga was used from the late Middle Ages to the early Baroque for strict imitation or canon. Bach did not exhaust his command of fugal technique. His suites, concertos and cantatas frequently combine fugue and ritornello form, and he introduced the combination of the subject and a number of counter-subjects in various vertical permutations. In the Art of Fugue he explored the potentialities of a single main theme in a cycle of 14 fugues, including pairs of invertible or mirror fugues, a species unique to this work. Handel's oratorio fugues, by contrast, aim at broader, more dramatic effects and tend to become homophonic at climaxes, as do his instrumental fugues.
