Alexandre Guilmant (12 March 1837 – 29 March 1911) was a French organist and composer. In 1871 he was appointed to play the organ regularly at la Trinité church in Paris, and held this organiste titulaire position for 30 years. In 1894 Guilmant founded the Schola Cantorum with Charles Bordes and Vincent d'Indy. He taught there up until his death. In addition, he taught at the Conservatoire de Paris where he succeeded Charles-Marie Widor as organ teacher in 1896. Guilmant was an accomplished and extremely prolific composer who devoted himself almost entirely to works for his own instrument, the organ.

Camille Saint-Saëns (9 October 1835 – 16 December 1921) was a French composer, organist, conductor and pianist of the Romantic era. A musical prodigy, he studied at the Paris Conservatoire and followed a conventional career as a church organist, then freelance pianist and composer. Saint-Saëns held only one teaching post at the École de Musique Classique et Religieuse in Paris; his students included Gabriel Fauré. His best-known works include concertante works for violin, cello and piano, the Danse macabre, the opera Samson and Delilah, the third ("Organ") symphony and The Carnival of the Animals.

Théodore Dubois (24 August 1837 – 11 June 1924) was a French Romantic composer, organist, and music teacher. After study at the Paris Conservatoire, Dubois won France's premier musical prize, the Prix de Rome in 1861. He became an organist and choirmaster at several well-known churches in Paris, and at the same time was a professor in the Conservatoire. In 1896 he succeeded Ambroise Thomas as the Conservatoire's director. As a composer, Dubois was seen as capable and tasteful, but not strikingly original or inspired. His books on music theory were influential, and remained in use for many years.
