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.
