It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

RE: Bach Mass in B minor

Hmmm. Mozart is, after Bach, the least repetitive composer ever. And the B minor Mass is anything but light! It's one of the grandest works ever penned. No, make that *the* grandest.

I don't now how much you've listened to the earlier music, but it has a more complex syntax than anything on your list, except, in his more inspired moments, Wagner. As such, it requires more effort on the part of the listener -- in the form of lots of listening -- to have an effect. But the effect is commensurately more profound, and well worth it.

"If only I could impress Mozart's inimitable works on the soul of every friend of music, and the souls of high personages in particular, as deeply, with the same musical understanding and with the same deep feeling, as I understand and feel them, the nations would vie with each other to possess such a jewel." - Haydn
