Francesc d'Assís Rosselló Sintes
(Ciutadella, 20 December 1828 - Ciutadella, 27 August 1898)

Spanish violinist and composer. He received early lessons from Benet Andreu Pons (1803-1881) before founding a choral society and the orchestra of the Círculo Católico de Ciutadella, the first one in Menorca and the most prominent for a long time. From 1881 he worked as chapel master of the Cathedral of Ciutadella, in a post he held until 1889. This period was the most fruitful as a composer writing dozens of religious works, many of them spreaded beyond the Balearic Islands. In this sense, he was known as the master 'Roussó', for his extraordinary musical service in favor of the city. His last years he retired from music and worked in the Pere Cortés i Cia. Shoes Store managing the correspondence and accounting of the factory. As a composer, he was mainly known for his popular three-act "sarsuela" Foc i Fum (1885). It has an old fashioned charm far removed from Madrid's sainetes of the time; though thoroughly Donizettian in mode, it does employ a traditional Menorcan town band and rustic pipe and tabor music. #ClassicalMusic
