What was the surname of the French composer of two musical works, both based on Greek mythology, i.e. the story of Pygmalion and the story of the lovers Daphnis and Chloe
Thanks Phoenix 32890 - I got to Ravel and Rameau too but am looking for one composer for both - not easy this one!
You are probably looking for Jean-Jacques Rousseau, French philosopher and writer but also composer.
He did write both Daphnis & Chloe and Pygmalion.
Thanks, Francis - very grateful.
Think I'm mising the point somewhere! I can't tie Rousseau in with musical works or as composer
Sorry - have looked at this further - Rousseau seems to fit the bill perfectly - sorry I doubted!!! Thanks everyone - very grateful
Just wondered Julia26 - who did you finally go with for this quizmail question?
Ignore that last Q.
i hadn't noticed there was a second page!!!!!
My friend and I do the quiz together but separately - if you see what I mean - passed on the info re Rousseau but it is her 'write-up' this time so she's gets the dubious honour of making the decision between Rousseau, Ravel or Rameau - probably all three are wrong, anyway!! That's how it goes!
Stumble It!
