Pierre Camonin

Pierre Camonin (25 February 1903 – 14 November 2003) was a French organist, composer and improviser.

Born in Bar-le-Duc, Camonin was a student of Marcel Ciampi for the piano at the conservatoire de Paris.

He studied pipe organ with Louis Vierne and Marcel Dupré.

He was a vicar-organist at Ligny-en-Barrois, then organist in charge of the great organs of the Verdun Cathedral (where he succeeded Ernest Grosjean) alongside the maître de chapelle, canon Ferdinand Tourte.

Several substitutes (Mr. Géhin, Vialette in the 1970s) generally provided the low masses.
