Marc Marie Jean Baptiste Delmas. French Expressionist composer and writer.
Born: March 28, 1885 in Saint-Quentin, Aisne, France.

He studied at the Conservatoire de Paris with Xavier Leroux and Paul Vidal. He won the Prix Rossini in 1911 with Anne Marie, Second Grand Prix de Rome with his cantata Le et la Fée Poète and later the Prix Cressent and Prix Ambroise-Thomas. In 1914 Delmas and Marcel Dupré were tied for first prize on the first ballot of the Prix de Rome, and Camille Saint-Saëns was called in to break the tie. He voted for Dupré, and Delmas took second prize.
Delmas taught music in Paris, and was a biographer of noted musicians. He took part in the choral movement and participated in the Conseil Superieur de la Musique Populaire.
Delmas was a prolific composer, known primarily for his stage works, but he was also author of choral, solo and chamber music.
His music was used in the films;
1929 Saint Joan the Maid
1925 La princesse aux clowns
