Does anyone know why Desportes' first symphony is called Saint Gingolph ? Wiki and other sources spell Saint Gindolph, but that name does not exist afaik. apparently the name is very often misspelled... The percussion concertos may be available at the INA. inatheque.ina.fr/docListe/TV-RADIO/

Possibly Desportes was on vacation in that lovely region and was inspired by the surroundings, the nature? To my surprise many people write Saint Gindolph... but that name does not exist, I think.
