French composers
Jeune France (Young France)
Organists

Composers that were born in France, or gained the French nationality.

French group of composers reacting against Les Six, who they thought made too lighthearted music. Their goal was to restore the deeper spiritual and human values in French music. Yves Baudrier initiated the group. The group members eventually went their own directions in music.

Composers who also play the organ and as such performed their own or other composer's compositions.
