Show R&B has dramatic compositions (8)
I believe the answer is:
proverbs
'compositions' is the definition.

I can't explain the remainder of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for proverbs that I've seen before include "Adages, saws" , "Old Testament book ascribed to Solomon, or well-known sayings" , "More than one saw" , "Gnomes" , "Book of the Bible" .)
