August 8 - Cécile Chaminade (The Musical Birthday Series)

Cécile Chaminade (8 August 1857 – 13 April 1944) was a highly admired French composer of salon music. At one time, pieces such as "Scarf Dance" were widely anthologized and found in innumerable piano benches.

The works of Cecile Chaminade

Were loved both at home and abroad;

That fame came despite 

An oeuvre so slight

Is a thing most exceedingly odd.
