| Louis Lefebre Wely took his father's place as organist of the Church of Saint Roch, Paris, at the age of 8. He was organist at the Madelaine Church from 1847 until 1858, when he moved to Saint Sulpice. He was a fashionable organist, famous for his improvisations, and was often invited to give innaugural concerts. As a composer, while form was not a principle concern, his compositions serve as a notable landmark in the evolution of 19th century organ music. |

| The German composer Sigfrid Karg-Elert composed in a brilliant and virtuoso style. His organ music reveals much ingenuity, originality in registration, and some striking effects, well exemplified in Pax Vobiscum. His chorale treatments represent the best of his genius as they are marked with inventiveness, brilliance, and fluid technique. |

| The American composer GEORGE B. NEVIN held organist positions throughout Pennsylvania, his birth state. He spent much of his life touring, presenting organ recitals in churches and concert halls. His few compositions are certainly more suited to the latter: In Will O' The Wisp you will hear the flutes of the organ, along with the chimes. |
