Gérard Calvi (born Grégoire Krettly; 26 July 1922 – 20 February 2015) was a French composer.

Interested in music from an early age, Calvi's first composing work was for the French production ''The Patron'' in 1949. From here he provided music for various French films, most notably ''Gangster Boss'', as well as the show ''La Plume de Ma Tante'', which was nominated for Best Musical at the 13th Tony Awards.

He composed music for three Asterix films: ''Asterix the Gaul'', ''Asterix and Cleopatra'' and ''The Twelve Tasks of Asterix''.

He also composed the memorable Asterix theme for the first film, which was dispensed with by the time the music for ''The Twelve Tasks of Asterix'' was composed in 1976.

His last work was for the feature film ''The Crab Revolution'' in 2004. He died in 2015, aged 92. Provided by Wikipedia
