Biography

Born in Paris, Georges Paul made his first musical studies at the École Niedermeyer de Paris. After he joined the Conservatoire de Paris in 1896, he won a First prize in organ in 1900, in Alexandre Guilmant's class. From 1892 to 1912, G. Jacob gave organ recitals, which were very well attended at the Schola Cantorum de Paris. His aim was to bring out the best of both ancient and modern works of organ literature.

As a composer, he has already written and published many works. In addition, he began publishing, with an explanatory commentary, the great works for organ of J.-S. Bach.

From 1902 to 1914, he was a piano teacher at the Schola Cantorum. Organist and Kapellmeister of Église Notre-Dame-de-la-Gare de Paris from 1897 to 1903, organist of the great organ of the Шаблон:Ill from 1903 to 1906, he then held the position of organist and Kapellmeister of the Шаблон:Ill, from 1907 to his death in 1950.

In 1922, he succeeded Joseph Bonnet as organist of the Orchestre de la Société des Concerts du Conservatoire.

Georges Jacob died in Paris on 28 December 1950 and was buried in the Père Lachaise Cemetery (2nd division).
