Besides Britten, what other musicians have been born on St Cecilia's day? Also, what musicians have been born on 14 July, the day of Francis Solano, known as the Saint of the Violin because he used music as part of his apostolate to the Indians?

Not too many on 14 July.

Only came up with Gerald Finzi and Woodie Guthrie (I suppose he composed his own music .... sometimes?)

Cheers,

Rick

July 14 isn't just the birthdate of some composers. As many oldtimers here know it's virtually a sacred day because of another birth.

Nice coincidence. I only hope the year is different. Nobody never told me I had a twin

At least, if not Dittersdorf, we share a day.
