An eventful voyage of discovery with countertenor John Holiday through almost 300 years of music history. It leads from Italian Baroque, to classical Vienna to Beethoven, who founded the genre of the romantic song. France is also touched - although Reynaldo Hahn originally came from Venezuela, but received his education in Paris from Jules Massenet. Continue to the USA, home of John Holiday. H. Leslie Adams has become known primarily as a composer of songs and vocal works. Hall Johnson had piano lessons as a child and later appeared as a professional violinist. He wrote numerous arrangements for the film and the stage. With "Porgy and Bess" Gershwin created his masterpiece, which is one of the most performed operas, especially in the USA.
