Hmmm, the idea of Stravinsky being a "US Composer" is a little odd, too.  It doesn't get better for being mentioned several times ;)

It's a nice thought but I rather doubt it; however, your mention of its possibility does at least offer me the opportunity to mention that a musicologist friend and colleague of mine calls that person Philippe de Vitry...
