List of organ composers

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The following is a list of organ composers. As well as citing the most regarded composers of music for the pipe organ, this list includes important anonymous and early music sources, as well as composers from under-researched regions and countries.

Eras of composition are roughly categorized as follows:

  • Medieval: before 1440
  • Renaissance: 1440–1600
  • Baroque: 1600–1750
  • Classical: 1750–1810
  • Romantic: 1810–1870
  • Late Romantic: 1870–1910
  • 20th Century: 1910–1990
  • Millennial: after 1990 (composers born after 1960)
This is a dynamic list and may never be able to satisfy particular standards for completeness. You can help by adding missing items with reliable sources.
