Édouard Batiste (28 March 1820 – 9 November 1876) was a French composer and organist.
Career
Batiste was born in Paris and studied at the Conservatory as a teenager, winning prizes in solfège, harmony and accompaniment, counterpoint and fugue, and organ. In 1840, he won the Prix de Rome together with François Bazin.[1]
In 1842, he became the organist at the church of Saint-Nicolas-des-Champs in Paris, where he remained for twelve years, before becoming organist at Saint-Eustache Church. While at Saint-Eustache, he performed the organ in the premiere of Hector Berlioz's Te Deum in April 1855, conducted by the composer.[1]
He died in Paris aged 56.
His students included Edward Morris Bowman,[2] composer Léo Delibes, who was also his nephew, and Joseph Lennon.
