"When earth's last picture is painted, and the tubes are twisted and dried, When the oldest colors have faded, and youngest critic has died, We shall rest, and, faith, we shall need it --lie down for an aeon or two. Till the Master of All Good Workmen shall set us to work anew..." ~Rudyard Kipling~
What do the following four musical pieces have in common?
1. "String Quartet in C major ("Emperor"), No. 3, 2nd Movement", and
2. the pre-WWI Austrian National Anthem, and
3. the Christian hymns such as,"Word of God, Across the Sea" or
4. "Glorious Things of Thee Are Spoken"
Numbers 2, 3, and 4 are based the first piece. It, in turn, was written by Franz Josef Haydn.
Today, 31 March, is Haydn's 273rd birthday.
