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 position for 30 years. As a virtuoso organist, Guilmant gave concerts in the US and Canada, as well as in Europe, making especially frequent visits to England. In 1894 he founded the Schola Cantorum de Paris with Charles Bordes and Vincent d'Indy, and taught there up until his death. Guilmant was an accomplished and extremely prolific composer, devoted himself almost entirely to works for his own instrument, the organ.

Ben van Oosten (born 1955 in The Hague, Netherlands) is an organist, professor and author. Van Oosten studied at the Sweelinck Conservatory in Amsterdam with Albert de Klerk (organ) and Berthe Davelaar (piano). He completed advanced studies in Paris, France, with André Isoir and Daniel Roth. Van Oosten is considered one of the greatest practitioners and interpreters of the French 19th century's Romantic Organ school. Besides maintaining a heavy recital schedule and an active private teaching practice, he serves as organist for the Grote Kerk (The Hague) and is a professor of music at the Rotterdam Conservatory.
