an emphasis on elegance and balance.
short well-balanced melodies and clear-cut question and answer phrases.
mainly simple diatonic harmony.
mainly homophonic textures (melody plus accompaniment) but with some use of counterpoint (where two or more melodic lines are combined)
use of contrasting moods.

And if there is any sort of hypnotic rhythm or groove that is purely by accident. Fun when it happens though.

I love discovering a piece of music I'm not familiar with. The Andante is simply lovely and starts at about 12:10.

J.S. Bach - Christmas Oratorio BWV 248 I "Jauchzet, frohlocket" The best baritone ever, at 19:00. My wife said it's too bad he didn't know the words, had to look down and sing downwards sometimes. I didn't know she was so unforgiving.
