Joseph Haydn (31 March 1732 – 31 May 1809) was one of the great composers of the late 18th century.
Name that Symphony!
Though program notes often wax lyrical
On the symphony known as “The Miracle”
You can brush off the mention
Of Divine intervention,
If your standards are strictly empirical.

Johann Sebastian Bach (31 March [O. S. 21 March] 1685 – 28 July 1750) was a German composer and organist.
Perhaps?
Did Bach ever warn the church pastor
That the choir was facing disaster,
Since cantatas each week
In an unbroken streak
Was too much for the singers to master.
