Birthdays of composers.

[Beef Oven]

I found no-one on the link provided by teamsaint, but looking at my birthday here I found Ruggles, Mimaroglu, and another dozen I've never heard of.

Ruggles? That's cool

[Petrushka]

The Times always used to give Igor Stravinsky's birth date as June 5, the same as my own, but that is the date according to the old Russian calendar. The date more usually given now is June 17 and the Times now follows this convention. Mind, Weber died on June 5.

Gemini seems to be a particularly rich star sign for composers with Wagner, Elgar, Richard Strauss and Stravinsky making their debut at this time.

Happy Birthday for tomorrow, Cloughie.

[Petrushka]

There seem to be an awful lot of MBoarders with their birthdays in June!

Happy Birthday for tomorrow, Cloughie.

Cheers ts.

Oh dear!
My date isn't even on the OP's linked list. After further investigation Ferdinand Franzl (1767) and Sverre Jordan (1972) is all I could find. Who were they?

Better half and I are both June. Mine is the 27th and the weather is normally good and any celebrations can take place in the garden. However, this year we have acquired Wimbledon tickets on that day (Court One - no roof) so it is likely to rain.

Further to #5 I'm happy now. Thanks to Mangerton's new link I can add Frederick Arthur Gore Ouseley!

I am mildly chuffed genuinely to learn that I was born on exactly the same day as Pat Metheny: a kind of personal Electric Counterpoint, from my point of view if not his

[EdgeleyRob]

Mine is shared with Carl Nielsen and Cole Porter.

Best wishes for tomorrow cloughie!

[ferneyhoughgeliebte]

For commercial cases I tend to use Sue, Grabbitt and Runn.

Better than Dewey, Cheetham and Howe.


Yrjo KILPINEN? Did Bbm have a hand in typing this list? I think, with no offense to Mr/Ms Kilpinen, I'll stick with Erich Leinsdorf and Rosa Parkes!

Mine (December 10th) is shared with Cesar Franck, Olivier Messiaen and Morton Gould. Programming my birthday concert might be interesting. We could intersperse the music with poems by Emily Dickinson (read by Kenneth Branagh and Harry Fowler in tandem).
