You have to write about your personal favorite - a person who writes music, a band that plays music, or a singer.

I wrote a paragraph about my favorite musical group.

At the present time, my favorite musical ensemble is a group in England that has been recreating ancient Greek music. An engraved stone at the Oracle of Delphi was found which had the notation for a Paeon, a hymn to Apollo, the *** of music, and his devoted acolytes, the nine muses. A scrap of papyrus with music for a chorus of Orestes by Euripides has been used. In antiquity, ensembles of singers and instrumentalists were scripted into a role, the "chorus", present in every Greek play. Fragments of instruments have been found in archaeological digs, but most of our knowledge about them came from illustrations on Greek vases. From these scant remains, modern equivalents of the instruments have been built. I adore the sounds of the aulos and kithara, which were particularly melancholy and sonorous, and well suited to accompany the great tragedies of Aeschylus, Sophocles and Euripides. In my city's art museum, there is a wonderful Roman mosaic from the first century, CE, that depicts the legendary musical contest between Marsyas, a satyr, and Apollo. Marsyas played the aulos to perfection, and challenged Apollo, who played the kithara. Of course Apollo was the victor since the muses were the judges. He was crowned by Nike and Marsyas was flayed alive for his hubris.
