Here comes a list of many musicians who were born on this date. I doubt that there's anything in the "music of the spheres" to make this date special -- but it's fun to imagine how it would sound to hear all these voices and instruments in one concert. My jazz trombones tie is very suitable.
Musicians: Hans Buchner (1483), Domenico Scarlatti (1685), Johan Helmich Roman (1694), Joaquin de Oxinaga (1719), Ernest Louis Muller (1740), Louis Charles-Joseph Rey (1758), Joseph Mayseder (1789), Nicolaos Mantzaros (1795), Henry Thomas Smart (1813), Stefano Golinelli (1818), Polibo Fumagalli (1830), Hendrick Waelput (1845), Arthur Friedheim (1859), Joseph Moorat (1864), Hermann Lohr (1871), Gustav Hermann Unger (1886), Beryl Rubinstein (1898), Giovanni Salviucci (1907), Mahalia Jackson (1911), Hans Peter Haller (1929), Hans-Joachim Rödelius (1934), Dietmar Polaczek (1942), and Keith Hopwood (1946). Yesterday -- Johann Strauss II (1825) and Georges Bizet (1838).
Three others born on 26 October but not known for music are Felix the Cat (1917), Pat Sajak (1946) and Hillary Rodham Clinton (1947).
