Immortality through Art - Music

Music is a form of art that uses sound elements- pitch, rhythm, and dynamics- and silence to express feelings, thoughts, and ideas. It has been considered a powerful universal language by many in that it appeals to human emotions which are universal.
Most of us have listened to Bach’s "Toccata And Fugue In D Minor" composed in 1707, Handel’s "Water Music" composed in 1717, Vivaldi’s "Four Seasons" composed in 1723, Mozart’s “Eine Kleine Nachtmusik” composed in 1787, Boccherini’s "Minuet" composed in 1771 or Beethoven’s "Symphony No. 5" composed in 1808. They sound as new and refreshing as they did the day they were played the first time, don’t they?

I hope you will agree with me, after listening to the following "older" compositions, that though less known to most of the public they are as beautiful.

“O Maria Virgine” composed by Anonymous in the 12^thcentury and interpreted by the vocal ensemble In Mulieribus - http://www.earlymusic.org/audio/o-maria-virgine

"N'aray je jamais mieulx que j'ay", a splendid Rondeau (a secular piece of music) for three voices composed in the second half of the 15^th century by English composer of the early Renaissance, Robert Morton- http://www.earlymusic.org/audio/play/1615.

Each of these masterpieces are as young and fresh as centuries ago. They didn't "age" did they? They are immortal.
