Joseph Guy Ropartz (June 15, 1864 – November 22, 1955) was a French composer and conductor. His compositions included five symphonies, three violin sonatas, cello sonatas, six string quartets, a piano trio and string trio (both in A minor), stage works, a number of choral works and other music including a Prélude, Marine et Chansons for flute, harp and string trio, often alluding to his Breton heritage (he self-identified as a Celtic Breton). Ropartz's musical style was influenced by Claude Debussy and César Franck, whom he studied organ with. He was also a writer of literary works, notably poetry.
