December 17 - Domenico Cimarosa (The Musical Birthday Series, 2nd Annual cycle)

Domenico Cimarosa (17 December 1749 – 11 January 1801) was an Italian composer, best known for comic operas.

Life’s Work Lite


Writing music wasn't a hassle

For Cimarosa, sprightly and facile.

Few composers could compose a

Work as fast as Cimarosa.

His operas are light, not weighty,

But he wrote at such a rate he

Ended up with more than eighty.
