With all this talk of modern music and how we should call this or that piece of pap - sorry pop - music classic, I implore you to listen to an English 20th Century composer's short work, - just a section of film music actually, and tell me that we are getting more successful in producing modern composers in any genre since the glory days of the naturally great music a few generations ago.

This is music even without knowing the story behinbd it that is full of energy, joy, sadness, and calm - which speak from the heart to the heart - even soul to soul.

And even then this cannot possibly yet be called a classic!

any of the five principal races for three-year-old horses in Britain, namely the One Thousand Guineas, Two Thousand Guineas, Derby, Oaks, and Saint Leger
Now they really are classics.
