Premise[]
Each week, four composers were invited to play, sing, and tell the stories of their works. Three of the subjects were unknown to the public, while the fourth was a professional. The stories were sometimes dramatized. Each guest was awarded $25, and the grand winners (as judged by the panel) had their songs published.
