Léonce de Saint-Martin
Born: 31st October 1886, Albi, France
Died: 10th June 1954, Paris, France
Nationality: French
Léonce Marie-Joseph de Saint-Martin-de-Paylha, born on 31 October 1886 in Albi (Tarn) and died on 10 June 1954 in Paris (Ile-de-France), was a French organist and composer.
As the successor of Louis Vierne in 1937, he was organist at Notre-Dame de Paris until his death in 1954.
Saint-Martin was heavily attacked for his appointment to Notre Dame by the Cathedral chapter, since it was done without competition. Saint-Martin was also mainly self-taught, and did not enter the conservatory, and thus was deemed to be an amateur organist. These accusations were easily seen to be false by eye-witnesses, such as Pierre Cochereau, who took Saint-Martin's place as titular organist after the latter's death.
