Adding to the confusion about the term "classical" is the usage of
describing something as "a classic", meaning the thing has enduring and
widespread appeal (a "classic car," for example). Perhaps this is the root
of Dean's student's approach to the term. "The Wind Beneath My Wings"
doesn't exactly have "classic" quality to me, and certainly not in the
sense that the Malotte "Lord's Prayer" does, but perhaps to a 10-year-old....
