Charles Gounod (17 June 1818 – 17 October or 18 October 1893) was a French composer. He attended the Paris Conservatoire, where he studied under Fromental Halévy and Pierre Zimmerman. Gounod is best known for his Ave Maria, based on a work by Bach, as well as his opera Faust; another opera by Gounod still performed is Roméo et Juliette. Though his reputation began to fade even before he died, he is still generally regarded as a major figure in nineteenth century French music. Stylistically, he was a conservative whose influence nevertheless extended to Bizet, Saint-Saëns, and Massenet.
