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.

Léon Boëllmann (25 September 1862 – 11 October 1897) was a French composer. During the sixteen years of his professional life, Boëllmann composed about 160 pieces in all genres. His best-known composition is Suite gothique (1895), now a staple of the organ repertoire, especially its concluding Toccata with a dramatic minor theme and a rhythmic emphasis that made it popular even in Boëllmann's day. Boëllmann also wrote motets and art songs, works for piano, a symphony, works for cello, orchestra and organ as well as a cello sonata (dedicated to Jules Delsart), and other chamber works.

François-Joseph Fétis (25 March 1784 – 26 March 1871) was a Belgian musicologist, critic, teacher and composer. He was trained as a musician by his father, and completed his studies at the Paris Conservatory. He became a professor at the Conservatory, and from 1833, director of the Royal Conservatory of Brussels. Fétis produced a large quantity of original compositions, from the opera and the oratorio to the simple chanson. More important perhaps than his compositions are his writings on music, which are partly historical and partly theoretical. His historical works, despite many inaccuracies, remain of great value for historians.
