André Campra (bapt. 4 December 1660 – 29 June 1744) was a French composer and conductor. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Knowing Ones Place

Campra was the leading French opera composer in the period between Jean-Baptiste Lully and Jean-Philippe Rameau. – adapted from Wikipedia

To Campra’s unfortunate dates;

With deplorable luck

His employment was stuck

In the gap between two of the greats.
