Charles Koechlin (27 November 1867 – 31 December 1950) was a French composer, teacher and musicologist.

He was highly eclectic in inspiration (nature, the mysterious orient, French folksong, Bachian chorale, Hellenistic culture, astronomy, Hollywood movies, etc.) and musical technique. – Wikipedia
Charles Koechlin's catalogue of works
Is full of eccentricity and quirks.
When listening to music so eclectic,
A critic might approach it as a skeptic.
But though he never mined a single quarry,
Inspired by this and that to make a score, he
Found a niche within the repertóry.
And that, my friends, concludes this entry's story.
