Jean-Philippe Rameau

Helping orphans the way you would do it

Jean-Philippe Rameau (September 25, 1683 - September 12, 1764) was one of the most important French composers of the Baroque era. He replaced Jean-Baptiste Lully as the dominant composer of French opera, and was attacked by those who preferred Lully's style.

He collaborated with Voltaire on a number of operas.
