Etymology
Caplet is a French family name that here names the composer André Caplet, who is known for music for choir and orchestra. A helpful way to remember it is to think of cap ('small hat') or a cappella ('without instruments') and imagine a conductor with a little hat leading singers, which links the name to his music.
