Charles Camilleri (7 September 1931 – 3 January 2009) was a Maltese composer, long acknowledged as Malta's national composer. Camilleri was born in Ħamrun and, as a teenager, had already composed a number of works based on folk music and legends of his native Malta. He moved from his early influences by Maltese folk music to a musical form "in which nothing is fixed and his compositions evolve from themselves with a sense of fluency and inevitability". <a href="https://www.last.fm/music/Charles
