October 9 - Camille Saint-Saëns (The Musical Birthday Series)

Camille Saint-Saëns (9 October 1835 – 16 December 1921) was a prominent French composer, pianist, conductor, and organist.

Passing Strange

Saint-Sa­­ëns looked disturbed and asked, “Why

Has the musical world passed me by?

Mon Dieu! I hear plenty

In this year 1920,

That makes and old man want to cry.”
