...Alexandre Guilmant (1837-1911), a student of Lemmens, is possibly the most important classicist in the area of French organ music. Guilmant was like many of his contemporaries a versatile musician, who maintained close ties with other composers of his generation. In 1871 Guilmant became organist at the church of St Triniti in Paris, and in 1894 he founded the Schola Cantorum together with Vincent d’Indy. Joseph Bonnet and Marcel Dupre were among his students...
...In 1871 Leon Boellmann entered the Paris Ecole de musique classique et religieuse, the so-called Ecole Niedermeyer. Favourably supported by Gustave Lefиvre, the director of the school, and Eugиne Gigout, his future adoptive father, Boлllmann finished his studies with numerous first prizes. In 1881 he received a post as organist at the church of St Vincent de Paul in Paris...
...Francois Fetis (1784-1871) studied at the Paris Conservatoire, acted as organist and music teacher at the collegiate church St Pierre in Donai from 1813 to 1818 and was appointed director at the Brussels Conservatoire in 1833. Fйtis owes his fame mainly to his educational efforts, which culminated in a set of music textbooks. Among his numerous publications are the Biographies Universelles des Musiciens, which tell us about the influential musicians of his time, and the Science de l’Organiste, a historical anthology of the organ music from the 16th to the 19th century... Read more
