Giovanni Battista Bononcini (18 July 1670 – 9 July 1747) was an Italian composer, cellist, singer, and teacher.
Morality Tale
Bononcini died on 9 July 1747 in Vienna, impoverished and largely forgotten. -- Wikipedia
Bononcini lived too long,
Out-living the demand
For his Baroque-ish sort of song
In short, his life had spanned
Too many years, too many changes
In fickle public trends.
How cruel it is when fate arranges
That this is how life ends.
