January 29 - Daniel François Esprit Auber (The Musical Birthday Series)

Daniel François Esprit Auber (29 January 1782 – 12/13 May 1871) was an enormously successful French opera composer.























Shhhhh

When Daniel François Esprit Auber
Decided to hire a new au pair,
He knew she’d be his sort if she
Had just arrived from Portici.
He specified the new recruit
Should do her duties as a mute.
When she was hired, in good time,
She raised his kids in pantomime.

And now, no doubt, you’re glad that I’m
Finished with this silly rhyme.
