The pieces chosen for “Messin’ with the Classix” have been updated and rearranged into a flowing meditative style that can best be described as *New Age Classical.* Unlike much of New Age music, which can often be repetitive and bland, these arrangements contain the beautiful lyrical melodies and rich harmonies of the original pieces. The harmonic structure and rhythm of the original works have been manipulated in a way that will lead the listener to an engaging, relaxing and fulfilling experience. "Messin* with the Classix" contains music from Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Chopin, Handel, Schubert and more.
