In another work, the villain entertains a group of villagers with Le veau d'or est toujours debout. One character in that work sings the "Jewel Song" and the (*) "Spinning Wheel Song." This composer used a Bach prelude as the base for an Ave Maria and wrote the Funeral March for a Marionette. Like Berlioz, he wrote an opera that ends with the death of Marguerite and is loosely based on Goethe. Another of his works includes an aria about Queen Mab sung by Mercutio. For 10 points, name this French composer of the operas Roméo et Juliette and Faust.
