Normandy-born André Caplet (1878-1925) saw his life cut short by pleurisy, perhaps exacerbated by being gassed during World War One. He worked with Ravel and Debussy, the latter of whom entrusted him with the completion and initial conducting of Le Martyre de Saint Sebastien. Caplet produced a number of quality works, perhaps his finest being the triptych Le Mystère de Jésus.
