1899-1963. 20th-century French composer, mainly self-taught, a member of "Les Six". He was, perhaps, the most Satie-esque of the posse, eschewing the dissonance of Milhaud and the Teutonic rigor of Honegger for works that were light-hearted but not Lite. He became heavily Catholic (but still openly gay) in middle age, and wrote many liturgical works; his Stabat mater was, along with Krzysztof Penderecki's, a great modern contribution to the form.
