Composer Information

Louis Ganne (born Buxières-les-Mines (Allier), 5 April 1862 – died Paris, 13–14 July 1923) was a conductor and composer of French operas, operettas, ballets, and marches. Ganne is most recognized today for his popular patriotic marches, Le père la victoire and La marche Lorraine. He also composed for the ballet, including the 1902 ballet "In Japan".[1] He is less well-known outside his native France, and his many operettas are now rarely performed. His most successful light opera is the circus musical Les saltimbanques (The Acrobats), from 1899. [source from Wikipedia]
