From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Louis Vierne (born Poitiers, France, 8 October 1870; died Paris, 2 June 1937) was a French organist and composer. Almost completely blind from birth, he wrote a lot of organ music, including six large works called symphonies, 24 Fantasy Pieces (which includes his famous Carillon de Westminster), and 24 Pieces In Free Style, some of which can be played on the harmonium as well as on the organ. He died while giving an organ recital at Notre Dame.
