Wikipedia, October 22, 2020 (Louis Varney; Louis Varney (30 May 1844, New Orleans, Louisiana--20 August 1908, Cauterets, France) was a French composer; Varney wrote 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)
