April 19 - Germaine Tailleferre (The Musical Birthday Series)

Germaine Tailleferre (19 April 1892 – 7 November 1983)  was a composer of charm and grace whose music is occasionally revived, especially on concerts devoted to women composers.

Gilt by Association?

We’ve heard of Germaine Tailleferre,

But to hear a performance is rare.

By a lucky caprice

She joined in Les Six,

Which at least keeps her name in the air.
