Widor was a French organist, composer, and teacher. Widor is best remembered today for this famous "Toccata" from his Symphony for Organ No. 5, which is often played as a recessional at wedding ceremonies.

The greatest French organist of his day, Widor (1844-1937) composed 10 organ "symphonies"-actually solo compositions usually consisting of 6 or 7 short movements, that treat the organ as a kind of self-contained orchestra. Series I includes Symphonies Nos. 1-4, Op. 13 and Symphonie No. 5, Op. 42. Frequently performed today. Glossary of French terms.
