A man who slept rough on the streets of Shepherds Bush, UK has been hailed as a genius after writing a symphony- without any musical training.
Stuart Sharp 67, a non-musician, who lost his son at birth was determined to create a symphony in his memory.
His dream led to divorce and he ended up homeless and broke on the streets on London.
But his persitence paid off and his 40 minute Angeli Symphony has now been recorded by the capitol's Philharmonia Orchestra.
Stuart said: "On the night of Ben's funeral I had a vision of soothing beautiful music. I could see the whole orchestra.
Philharmonia conductor Allan Wilson said: "It's quite astounding that a non-professional musician has come up with something of this quality. It's a work of genius."
