Let's make this birthday one to remember.

91 years old (Born on January 16, 1934)

Happy Birthday, Richard Wernick! Your compositions have always struck the perfect chord—sometimes terrifying us with "Visions of Terror," other times filling our hearts with wonder. Who knew chamber music could be such an emotional rollercoaster? You've certainly kept audiences on their toes since your Pulitzer Prize-winning masterpiece in 1977.

Here's to another year filled with harmonious adventures and vocal triumphs. May your birthday celebration hit all the right notes—and may you continue composing timeless pieces that leave listeners both amazed and slightly terrified (in a good way). Cheers to you, maestro; keep orchestrating brilliance one measure at a time!
