Giselle Galos
C. Galos was a mysterious 19th century (presumably Italian) musician and composer[1] whose name is associated with two big hits of salon music, 'Le chant du Berger' (Nocturne Op. 17) and 'Le Lac de Come' (Nocturne Op. 24). Both pieces are in the form of easy nocturnes.[2]
Galos' pieces are composed of stock salon clichés and appear in collections of famous piano pieces[2].
It is not known whether Galos was male or female. There is disagreement over what the composer's first name was, with suggestions from Celestino to Charles. He or she is often referred to by C. Galos.
