Lazare-Auguste Maquaire (25 October 1872 – 16 August 1906) was a French organist and composer. A student of Charles-Marie Widor, he is known for a few works for the organ, most notably his First Organ Symphony in E-flat major, Op.20, his only published work.[1]
Life
Maquaire was born in Lyon on 25 October 1872 to a family of embroiderers.[2]
At Paris Conservatory he studied under Charles-Marie Widor, and subsequently became his assistant at Saint-Sulpice. In 1905, he composed his most well-known work, Première Symphonie pour Orgue, Op. 20, better known as the First Organ Symphony in English. He dedicated the work to his teacher.[3]
His other works include the Fugue in G minor, composed in 1901, which was neither published nor given an Opus number. Its manuscript is currently stored at the Bibliothèque nationale.[4]
Shortly after writing his First Organ Symphony, Maquaire died in 1906.[5]
