10 Georges Bizet October 25, 1838 June 3, 1875 Georges Bizet was born in Paris to a musical family: his father was an amateur singer and composer and his mother was a pianist. Bizet himself was a musical prodigy; he entered the Paris Conservatory at the age of nine. There he studied theory, composition, piano and organ. It is said that Bizet could have chosen to become a concert pianist. He was named one of the three greatest pianists in the world by Franz Liszt. Bizet s first symphony, the Symphony in C, was written when he was just seventeen. He soon turned his attention to works for the stage: Paris at this time was the center of the opera universe. Bizet had some success with works such as Le Docteur Miracle and La jolie fille de Perth. However, his greatest success came with the opera Carmen, which premiered in Paris in Initially it was not well received by the public, although many composers including Debussy, Tchaikovsky, and Brahms praised it enthusiastically. Bizet was bitterly disappointed by Carmen s reception and retired from the world to his country house. He died just three months after its premiere and so never experienced its later success. Today Carmen is still one of the most popular opera s ever written.

11 Manuel Penella July 31, 1880 January 24, 1939 Manuel Penella was born in Valencia, Spain. His father, Manual Penella Raga, was the director of the Valencia Conservatory. The young Penella studied violin and composition. He was a very talented violinist and could have become a concert performer; an injury to his left hand made him give up this aspect of a musical career. After graduation Penella found work as a church organist, but his great love was theater. He produced more than 80 stage works during his lifetime, including revistas, zarzuelas, operettas and operas. His most famous work is El Gato Montes (The Wildcat), which was written in The Pasodoble from El Gato Montes is performed regularly in Spanish bullfighting rings. Penella loved to travel and spent much time working abroad. He toured Latin America, Mexico, Cuba and the United States. It was in Mexico on one of these tours that Penella died suddenly, at the age of 59.

12 John Phillip Sousa November 6, 1854 March 6, 1932 John Phillip Sousa was born Washington, D.C. His father, a trombonist in the U.S. Marine band, enrolled Sousa in music lessons at the age of six. He studied music theory and violin. At the age of thirteen, Sousa enlisted in the Marine Band. He served there for seven years before being discharged at age 20. He spent the next several years as a violinist and conductor in many theater orchestras in Philadelphia and Washington. By 1880 Sousa s ability as a conductor was well known. He was appointed the leader of the U.S. Marine Band and turned it into the finest military band in the world. In 1892 Sousa resigned from the Marines to form his own civilian (non-military) band. It became one of the finest musical organizations in the country, equal to many of the best symphony orchestras. The band toured America many times, as well as Canada, Europe and Cuba. Sousa led the band until the year before his death. Sousa will always be known as The March King. He wrote 136 marches during his career. However, he was also very interested in musical theater and composed 15 operettas. One, El Capitan, was the first musical by an American composer to have a successful run on Broadway. Sousa composed music until the end of his life. He died shortly after a rehearsal of Stars and Stripes Forever in Reading, Pennsylvania. He is buried at Congressional Cemetary in Washington D.C.
