            No composers I'm aware of offhand but I do share a birthday with the lyricist of Dichterliebe.

              I see I have quite a few composers on my b.day, including Domenico Maria Ferrabosco .. In fact I think I may well have been him in a previous life.

                    Haydn and JS Bach today.

                    Here's part of one that FJ wrote for somebody else's special day.

                        Well I never! I'd overlooked their common birthday; what a serendipitous date for Music

                        Herb Alpert and Clemens Krauss, too, plus a handful of composers I'd not heard of - and Andrew Marvell (of whom I have!)

                        Famous birthdays for the 31st of March. See which celebrities, historical figures, scientists and criminals were born on March 31.

                          And your third sprog, if your original post is to be believed.
                          Many happy returns to him or her!

                          The link in that post gives the old style birthday for JSB, by the way!

                              But at least I have a link with Beau Brummell

                                Me too (though I haven't looked at old style date), but I like to dine out on the fact that I am, by two hours, a Georgian, being born at 10pm on 5 February 1952!
                                The king snuffed it when news of my birth reached Sandringham.
