Jean-Pierre Rampal (7 January 1922 – 20 May 2000) was an extremely important and popular French flutist.
Heroic Ode to Rampal
Sing, O Muse! Exalt the flutist!
Jean-Pierre, the absolutist!
Sing, O Sing of how much more he
Opened up the repertory,
Introducing fluting folk
To wonders of the High Baroque!
Sing of Classics and Romantics,
Europeans, Transatlantics!
Sing of works of all descriptions,
Sing commissions and transcriptions!
Sing how, since his sales were brisk,
He put the whole shebang on disc!
Sing of Jean-Pierre Rampal,
The greatest flutist of them all!
