André Mocquereau

André Mocquereau (6 June 1849 – 18 January 1930) was a French monk at Solesmes Abbey, Gregorian musicologist, who had a great influence on the restoration of Gregorian chant thanks to his musical ability.

His scientific studies resulted in the use of the édition néo-médicéenne [fr] being ended at the Vatican in 1901.
