Stanisław Moniuszko (5 May 1819 – 4 June 1872) was a Polish composer, conductor, organist, and pedagogue.
Staying at Home
He is generally referred to as "the father of Polish national opera." – Wikipedia
Moniusko was a loyal Pole
Who had the lofty loyal goal
Of filling an artistic hole and
Bring the operatic art to Poland.
He had success, he had his career,
But time has made it pretty clear
That he will never catch the ear
Outside his native Polish sphere.
