∙ 13y ago... is a wonderful, wonderful piece of music composed in 1946 by British composer Benjamin Britten for a BBC education programme. In it, the instruments of the modern orchestra are introduced first by families (Introduction), then one by one (variations), and in the end enter a big and exciting orchestral fuge one after another. As a theme, Britten chose a Rondeau from Henry Purcell's incidental music for the play "Abdelazar" by Aphra Behn.
First of all, however, the piece is great, great fun to listen to. I never stopped loving it. The end just gives you goosepumps all over.
