About Gérard Calvi

Gérard Calvi (born Grégoire Krettly; 26 July 1922 – 20 February 2015) was a French composer known for his work in film and theatre. Calvi showed an interest in music from an early age. His first known composition was for the French production "The Patron" in 1949. He went on to compose music for a number of French films, including "Gangster Boss". He also contributed to the stage show "La Plume de Ma Tante", which received a nomination for Best Musical at the 13th Tony Awards. He composed the scores for three animated films based on the Asterix comic series: "Asterix the Gaul", "Asterix and Cleopatra", and "The Twelve Tasks of Asterix". He also created the original Asterix theme for the first film, although it was not used in later entries, including "The Twelve Tasks of Asterix" released in 1976. Calvi's final composition was for the animated feature film "The Crab Revolution" in 2004. He passed away in 2015 at the age of 92.
