Edouard Batiste

Edouard Batiste made his name as a teacher of solfège at the Paris Conservatory, and as such he must have taught Jules Grison as well.
He wrote a Petit solfège harmonique, as well as an instruction method for solfège for the conservatory.

He held the position of organiste titulaire at the Paris Eglise Saint-Eustache for more than twenty years and as such he was involved with the première of Berlioz' Te Deum.

His organ works became particularly popular in Britain. Like most nineteenth-century French church music, these works breathe the atmosphere of the theatrical opera style.
