Woody Allen once said that Mozart's Symphony 41 proved the existence of God. Certainly, a symphony of such grandness and scale had, until the summer of 1788, never before been seen in the musical universe. Its implications for the direction of music in the future, and its influence on future composers is immeasurable. What makes Mozart's Jupiter symphony worthy to share the name of the most powerful god of the Roman world?
The answer to this question comes in the Molto Allegro, and more specifically in its coda, (8:09-8:36). In the coda, Mozart takes the five musical themes or melodies that had been developed throughout the final movement, and does something that no one has ever achieved to the extent that he did, not even the illustrious Beethoven.
What Mozart does is take these five themes and combines them to create a fugato in five-part counterpoint. That is, he takes the five melodies and simultaneously plays them in a variety of combinations and permutations. Imagine five separate melodies, all with their own notes, being played simultaneously, but each constantly changing. It's impossible for the human ear to focus on the enormous amount of notes that this simultaneous playing and constant changing entails. The effect is that the music seems to encompass an infinite amount of sound. With lesser two or three-part fugues, it is occasionally possible to sense everything that is going on. Once you get to four voices, it's nearly impossible to detect all of the nuances of the melodies. With five, well, only God could completely grasp its profundity.
This is Jeffrey Tate and the English Chamber Orchestra performing the Molto Allegro of Mozart's Symphony 41 in C Major.
A far greater introduction to this piece than I provide can be found at NPR's website, if you follow this link:

In the audio clip, you will get the chance to hear the five melodies that Mozart used in the coda individually.

Lyrics:
You never hear a weh the Jr. say
See many girls who look so fine
And still I'm searching even night and day
An can't find a gal who look so lovely
You never hear wey the muffin' say
Trod through the valley of the sweat and tears
And still he's searching even night and day
Can't find a gal who look so lovely
You set the standard for all prestige
You're beauty plentiful just like plenty sand on the beach
You should a keep in a showcase when guarded by police
Me tek ten thousand chariots just fi reach
Well, mi see she blush then she bawl good grief
Gwan Jr. Gong you is living masterpiece
Well, a so me know she weak under mi speech
Mi big up Ragamuffin cause me learn as you teach
A the muffin show I and I how fi dress so neat
The proper way to behave anytime parents a meet
The courteous smile the only way to greet
Bon jour madam would you please have a seat
A cool beverage or maybe something to eat
I said a lady like yourself should not be seen on the street
Good thing mi no diabetic cause the way you so sweet
Nuff tender touches to sweep the girl off she feet
She said my aspect of life is genuinely unique
She need a real Ragamuffin to compliment her physique
And sing
You never hear a weh the Jr. say
See many girls who look so fine
And still I'm searching even night and day
An can't find a gal who look so lovely
You never hear wey the muffin' say
Trod through the valley of the sweat and tears
And still he's searching even night and day
Can't find a gal who look so lovely
Woman I would like to let you know just how this man feel
And express myself so the secret reveal
Gal me love you like how Georgie love cornmeal
I would like the privilege for me and you just fi deal
Well, full dedication I'm taking for real
You and me was meant to be just like a pedal and wheel
You a the treasure everyman want to steal
Excellent qualities with cross over appeal
Take you on a trip through the West Indies
Or maybe me and you can spend some time overseas
Well, smile fi awhile then she bawl yes please
Gwan Jr. Gong go show your expertise
Well, right then and there mi observe wey mi need
She's sweet than the honey that we get from the bees
Right at my finger tips is to touch and to tease
Cause mi de in a di program from mi eye deh a mi knees
Ital stew under nuff gungu peas
She want a real Ragamuffin to hug
And to squeeze
You never hear a weh the Jr. say
See many girls who look so fine
And still I'm searching even night and day
An can't find a gal who look so lovely
You never hear wey the muffin' say
Trod through the valley of the sweat and tears
And still he's searching even night and day
Can't find a gal who look so lovely
You never hear a weh the Jr. say
See many girls who look so fine
And still I'm searching even night and day
An can't find a gal who look so lovely
You never hear wey the muffin' say
Trod through the valley of the sweat and tears
And still he's searching even night and day
Can't find a gal, watch dis
You set the standard for all prestige
You're beauty plentiful just like plenty sand on the beach
You should a keep in a showcase when guarded by police
Me tek ten thousand chariots just fi reach
Well, mi see she blush then she bawl good grief
Gwan Jr. Gong you is living masterpiece
Well, a so me know she weak under mi speech
Mi big up Ragamuffin cause me learn as you teach
A the muffin show I and I how fi dress so neat
