Admirers of classical music put the great composers up on a pedestal, and rightly so. Their music has stood the test of time and is seen as some of the most magnificent music ever written. But even the great composers started out writing music in their youth. Handel wrote his first choral work, "Dixit Dominus," when he was 21 years old. Mozart wrote his first Mass for choir, orchestra, and soloists at the age of 12! Having performed both the Mozart Requiem and Handel's Messiah in previous seasons, we thought it would be really interesting to perform works written much earlier in the composers' lives. Spoiler Alert: the pieces may have been composed early on, but they are already fantastic!
