The "Hallelujah Chorus" from the oratorio "Messiah" (1742) by George Friderich(sic) Handel(1685-1759). Upon first hearing the work, the King of England, so emotionally stirred by what he was hearing,spontaneously stood from his seat, thereby establishing the tradition audiences the world over continue upon hearing the magnificent "Chorus."
The PBS Masterpiece Theatre theme, "Fanfare- Rondeau" by French composer Jean-Joseph Mouret(1682-1738).
"Happy Birthday," perhaps the most sung song in the English language, dates back melodically to 1893. Two sisters, Mildred Hill and Patty Smith Hill, included a classroom greeting "Good Morning To All" in a published book called "Song Stories for the Kindergarten." The lyrics now sung worldwide evolved over the next 40 years from the Hill sisters' original words to what everyone now knows as "Happy Birthday To You."
