Told a story to music (4)

I believe the answer is:

lied

This clue is a double definition.

'told a story' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'music' is the second definition.
(lied is a kind of music)

'to' is the link.

(Other definitions for lied that I've seen before include "Song in Berlin" , "Produced pork pie" , "Told fibs - German song" , "piece of music" , "Was economical with the truth" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
