Firmin Bernicat
Claude Firmin Bernicat (13 January 1842 – 5 March 1883) was a 19th-century French operetta composer. Biography Bernicat was born in Lyon. He moved to Paris in the mid-1860s and studied music with Jules Duprato, probably at the Conservatoire de Paris. He began his career in Parisian café-concerts. Early in his career, he composed some short operas for the Paris theatre L'Eldorado. He also made his living as a music arranger and orchestrator for composers including Robert Planquette and wrote songs for the stars of the era: ''Le Chemin des noisettes'' or ''La Pigeonne''. He wrote about thirty works, most one-act operettas and humorous or sentimental skits, for example ''Ali Pot-d’rhum'' (1869), ''Les Cadets de Gascogne'', ''Le Cornette'' or ''Une aventure de la Clairon''. He eventually attracted the attention of the Director of the Fantaisies-Parisiennes in Brussels, who produced his first work in three acts, ''Les Beignets du Roi'' (1882), with a libretto by Albert Carré ...

Data
In the pursuit of knowledge, data (; ) is a collection of discrete values that convey information, describing quantity, quality, fact, statistics, other basic units of meaning, or simply sequences of symbols that may be further interpreted. A datum is an individual value in a collection of data. Data is usually organized into structures such as tables that provide additional context and meaning, and which may themselves be used as data in larger structures. Data may be used as variables in a computational process. Data may represent abstract ideas or concrete measurements. Data is commonly used in scientific research, economics, and in virtually every other form of human organizational activity. Examples of data sets include price indices (such as consumer price index), unemployment rates, literacy rates, and census data. In this context, data represents the raw facts and figures which can be used in such a manner in order to capture the useful information out of i ...

Operetta
Operetta is a form of theatre and a genre of light opera. It includes spoken dialogue, songs, and dances. It is lighter than opera in terms of its music, orchestral size, length of the work, and at face value, subject matter. Apart from its shorter length, the operetta is usually of a light and amusing character. It sometimes also includes satirical commentaries. "Operetta" is the Italian diminutive of "opera" and was used originally to describe a shorter, perhaps less ambitious work than an opera. Operetta provides an alternative to operatic performances in an accessible form targeting a different audience. Operetta became a recognizable form in the mid-19th century in France, and its popularity led to the development of many national styles of operetta. Distinctive styles emerged across countries including Austria-Hungary, Germany, England, Spain, the Philippines, Mexico, Cuba, and the United States. Through the transfer of operetta among different countries, cultural cosm ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Bartlet and Richard Langham Smith"Opéra comique" '' Grove Music Online''. Oxford Music Online. 19 November 2009 which combined existing popular tunes with spoken sections.
