Henri-Pierre Sauguet-Poupard (18 May 1901 – 22 June 1989) was a French composer.Born in Bordeaux, he adopted his mother's maiden name as part of his professional pseudonym.
His output includes operas, ballets, four symphonies (1945, 1949, 1955, 1971), concertos, chamber and choral music and numerous songs, as well as film music.
Although he experimented with musique concrète and expanded tonality, he remained opposed to particular systems and his music evolved little: he developed tonal or modal ideas in smooth curves, producing an art of clarity, simplicity and restraint.
