  Music and Fashion

  (2) Showtime

  The idea that music might be art is pretty recent. Composers have always needed to earn money and if you weren't employed by the Church or in some royal household, you had to market yourself. Handel's operas were 18th century London's equivalent of Cats and Phantom of the Opera. But how did Handel become a Great Classical Composer? The status of music alters when it moves from being popular to 'worthwhile'. Andrew Ford asks how this affects the way we listen (ABC)
