Storyline
Bandleader/singer/songwriter Ted Barry arrives in heaven. The receptionist tells him that before he can take his place in the Hall of Music, a committee must review his work and decide whether he is worthy of admittance. The committee comprises the following classical composers: Chairman Ludwig van Beethoven, Richard Wagner, Niccolò Paganini, Johannes Brahms, Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, Franz Liszt, Frédéric Chopin, Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov, Johann Strauß Sr., and Johann Strauß Jr. The chief criterion for admittance is that Barry's music must 'stand the test of time,' as their music has. They don't believe that the popular music of the day will meet this standard. Barry is given ten minutes to write a composition. Joy, an angel who is a big fan of his, helps him write a song ("Heavenly Music") in the popular style. Written by David Glagovsky <dglagovsky@prodigy.net>
