Next, we sing a piece called 'Masterpiece'
by the english composer Paul Drayton.
As the title suggests,
'Masterpiece' is a modest title for a piece with modest pretensions.
It aims to illustrate the entire history
of the last four hundred years of western classical music
in about nine minutes.
Many and varied are the composers mentioned,
so if your favourite doesn't appear
tough!
