- Saint-Saëns, (Charles) Camille
(9 October 1835, Paris – 16 December 1921, Algiers)
While known mostly for secular concert repertory, Saint-Saëns was a superb organist and held positions at various Paris churches from 1853–1876 and from 1861– 1865 taught at the École Niedermeyer, founded to improve music in French churches. He contributed 13 publications of organ music, two masses, three oratorios in the Handelian tradition (Oratorio de {}Noël, 1858; Le Déluge ("The Flood"), 1875; The Promised Land, 1913), two dozen motets, another 10 small works for chorus, and one sacred opera, Samson et Dalila (1877), which remains in the repertory.
