Felicien David

Félicien-César David (13 April 1810 – 29 August 1876) was a French composer.

Félicien David was born in Cadenet (Vaucluse), France, and began to study music at five under his father, whose death however, when the boy was six, left him an impoverished orphan. His good voice enabled him to study as a choirboy at the Church of Saint-Sauveur in Aix-en-Provence, which he left at the age of 15 with a sound knowledge of music, and a scholarship which enabled him to study literature at a Jesuit college. <a href="https://www.last.fm/music/F%C3%A9licien+David">Read more on Last.fm</a>
