Let's make this birthday one to remember.

90 years old (Born on July 18, 1934)

Happy Birthday, Roger! Another year composing masterpieces inspired by Borges' labyrinths and Euripides' dramas—clearly your secret to eternal youth is deciphering mythological riddles. Your Pulitzer Prize-winning notes continue to echo through concert halls, baffling critics and delighting audiences alike.

May this birthday be as timeless as your compositions—and far less complicated than an Aeschylus tragedy. Here's hoping the coming year brings you even more poetic inspiration (and fewer existential crises). Keep orchestrating brilliance; after all, age is just another stanza in life's epic poem—and you're conducting it beautifully!
