| Ponce, Manuel Maria (1882-1948) Born in Fresnillo, Mexico, Ponce renowned as the composer of the song, Estrellita, grew to maturity during the Porfirian epoch. His early compositions were as unlike his later ones as Stravinsky's L'Oiseau de Feu is unlike Orpheus. Ponce's growth was perhaps a more organic growth than others of his generation. Since his death in 1948, the Mexican public has increasingly taken Ponce to heart, and at present his `little star' has grown into a great one. |
