Question

Haydn's extensive use of timpani in the finale of a piece in this genre lends it the nickname "Pauken" ("POW-ken"), although he titled it "in tempore belli" ("in tem-POH-ray BEH-lee"). For 10 points each:
[10m] In the Classical period, what genre split into a shorter "brevis" form and a longer "solemnis" form that was famously used by Beethoven?
ANSWER: mass [or missa or messe; accept missa solemnis or missa brevis; accept Paukenmesse or Missa in tempore belli]
[10h] Another German composer wrote his first missa solemnis at the same time as this opera, so they share many melodies. This early Romantic opera's third act features the "Huntsmen's Chorus."
ANSWER: Der Freischütz ("dare FRY-shoots") [or The Free-Shooter] (by Carl Maria von Weber)
[10e] This composer wrote an ironically-titled Petite messe solennelle ("puh-TEET MESS soh-luh-NEL") over thirty years after composing his last opera, William Tell.
ANSWER: Gioachino Rossini [or Gioachino Antonio Rossini]
