Varney, Louis
Composer Information
Louis Varney (30 May 1844, New Orleans, Louisiana – 20 August 1908, Cauterets, France) was a French composer. Varney went on writing some forty operettas, all of them noted for their musical elegance and good taste, sometimes closer in style to opéra-comique, amongst the most notable are; Fanfan la tulipe (1882), Babolin (1884), Les petits mousquetaires (1885), L'âge d'or (1905), all very popular in their time, some were even presented abroad, but nowadays all but forgotten. Les mousquetaires au couvent is the only one to have survived total oblivion, and is still occasionally presented in France. [source from Wikipedia]
