Delibes
L�o
Delibes (1836-1891) was a French ballet music composer. His music is tuneful, and
his orchestration is interesting and harmonious. This brought him great success
in his day, and his pleasant and romantic works are still enormously popular
today.
He was decorated by France
with the Chevalier de la Legion d'Honneur in 1876. His most famous work is his ballet
Copp�lia, closely
followed by another ballet, Sylvia, and an opera Lakm�.
