-->''"The organ played a mysterious prelude, quite unlike any I had heard at Lille; I was bowled over and became almost ecstatic. ... I could not hold back my tears. I knew nothing; I understood nothing; but my instinct was violently shaken by this expressive music echoing through every pore."''
-->-- '''Louis Vierne''', Journal entry on listening to César Franck playing the organ

Louis Victor Jules Vierne (8 October 1870 – 2 June 1937) was a French composer and the organist of Notre-Dame de Paris from 1900 until his death.
