Dietrich Buxtehude?

buxtehude

I’ve been on watch for Agincourt’s very own Dietrich Buxtehude — largely because I enjoy saying his name. Who do you suppose this young man is and what is he preparing for the Sunday service.

POSTSCRIPT (2016.11.12): On second thought (I have a lot of those) this fellow looks a great deal more like Francis Poulenc, of whom I have not thought in some time. Tell me if you agree:

And while I’m about it, the search for photos of Poulenc also led me to Pere Lachaise Cemetery, where Francis awaits the final trump. I’d expected a resting place more saucy:

Too bad Dietrich was too young to have known Francis.
