Lazare-Auguste Maquaire was a student of and assistant to Charles-Marie Widor. This is his only published organ composition, a Symphonie for Organ written in the early 1900’s. Although obviously inspired by the symphonies of Widor, Maquaire’s single work is much more tightly constructed than Widor’s early works.
