FÉLlX ALEXANDRE GUILMANT (1837-1911), one of the most celebrated French organists of the nineteenth century, wrote a great deal of music for the organ of the highest distinction, much of which remains permanently in the modern organist's repertory. He helped, with Charles Borde and Vincent d'Indy, to found the famous Schola Cantorum, and held a professorship there, as he did later also at the Paris Conservatoire. Among his many famous pupils are numbered Dupré and Bonnet. He toured extensively, not only in France, but in Europe, England and America.
