Phillip Sear plays a nocturne (alternative title 'l'Esprit de Nil') by the Argentinian composer Guillaume Vargas (1878-1924). ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I can find little about the Argentinian composer Guillaume Vargas (1878-1924) except that he was born in Buenos Aires, and emigrated to the USA in 1903, where he settled with his wife Emma in Alameda, and was buried in Oakland. I think the Egyptian-ness of this piece is pretty mild - there is more of Chopin about it than Tutankhamen - but it is an attractive, calming nocturne nevertheless!
