’s Classical Hits In a concert featuring classical hits, Mozart, Bach, and Beethoven—the Big Three of classical music—are essential. According to an old saying, Bach is the ultimate for the mind, Beethoven for the heart, and Mozart for the soul. Together with other “evergreens,” including Smetana’sThe Moldauand Rachmaninoff’sVocalise, the music of Bach, Beethoven, and Mozart forms the core of this concert. A special highlight of the program is Fauré’sRequiem, sung by the National Women’s Youth Choir. The heavenly, comforting music consistently ranks high on classical charts.
