Jacques-Henry Rys

Jacques-Henry Rys (1909–1960) was a 20th-century French composer and conductor.

In the late 1940s and during the 1950s, Jacques-Henry Rys was a renowned conductor of light music, who led many recordings for major pop stars of the era, including Luis Mariano, Andrex, Yvette Giraud, Georges Guétary. He also assumed control of many variety shows on the radio.

Jacques-Henry Rys became known by the quality of the orchestrations of the first operetta by Francis Lopez, which contributed to its success: La Belle de Cadix (1945) of which he conducted the first performances at the Casino Montparnasse, Andalousie (1947), Quatre jours à Paris (1948), Monsieur Bourgogne (1949), La Route fleurie (1952), Tête de Linotte (in collaboration with Paul Bonneau, 1957).

At the request of Germaine Roger, director of the Théâtre de la Gaîté-Lyrique, Jacques-Henry Rys wrote the musical score for two successful operettas: Colorado in 1950, and Pampanilla in 1954. He also collaborated with Henri Bourtayre on the composition of the operetta Les Chevaliers du ciel (1955).

Jacques-Henri Rys died prematurely in 1960, aged 51.

gollark: I am saying that gods are also complicated so this doesn't answer anything.
gollark: For purposes only, you understand.
gollark: There are lots of *imaginable* and *claimed* gods, so I'm saying "gods".
gollark: So basically, the "god must exist because the universe is complex" thing ignores the fact that it... isn't really... and that gods would be pretty complex too, and does not answer any questions usefully because it just pushes off the question of why things exist to why *god* exists.
gollark: To randomly interject very late, I don't agree with your reasoning here. As far as physicists can tell, while pretty complex and hard for humans to understand, relative to some other things the universe runs on simple rules - you can probably describe the way it works in maybe a book's worth of material assuming quite a lot of mathematical background. Which is less than you might need for, say, a particularly complex modern computer system. You know what else is quite complex? Gods. They are generally portrayed as acting fairly similarly to humans (humans like modelling other things as basically-humans and writing human-centric stories), and even apart from that are clearly meant to be intelligent agents of some kind. Both of those are complicated - the human genome is something like 6GB, a good deal of which probably codes for brain things. As for other intelligent things, despite having tons of data once trained, modern machine learning things are admittedly not very complex to *describe*, but nobody knows what an architecture for general intelligence would look like.
