Gustavo Emilio Campa (8 September 1863 in Mexico City – 29 October 1934) was a Mexican composer.[1] He studied piano with Felipe Larios and Julio Ituarte, and composition with Melisio Morales at the Conservatorio Nacional in Mexico City.[2] Campa went against Morales' well known passion for Italian style of composition and lead a group of rebellious students which embraced the French style.[3]
In 1900 he was appointed professor of Composition and History of Music at the institution, a position he will hold until his retirement in 1925. In 1907, upon the death of Ricardo Castro,[4] Campa became the director of the Conservatorio.[5]
