What wonderful music, sort of reminds me of Mozart and Handel blended, who is it? Possibly a rococo era composer ... J.C. Bach??? Put us out of our misery please!!

Sorry Rolf, I don't know what it is. It sounds very regal, I like it.

I would interested to know what it is too.

I'm thinking it sounds like Rameau ...

[methodistgirl]

I'm guessing either Bach or Mozart.

I had a friend in another chat forum whos chat name was Y.I. Otter. Took me a while to figure it was a reference to the three stoogers. (why I ought to)
