Well, the "s" entry can only be
Camille Saint-Saens (1835-1921) My first listeneing encounter with Saint-Saens was his Sym #3, for organ and orchestra (The Organ Symphony) with Berj Zamkochian, organist and I forget which orchestra. Then I was then hooked on organ/orchestra compositions for life.
Charles Tournemire, author of L'orgue mystique, an incredible cycle of organ pieces which cover the whole Catholic liturgical year.Born in Bretagne, France. Indeed, he is the only composer I know who composed orchestral symphonies in preparation for his composition of organ music.
Chrétien (or Christian) Urhan (1790-1845), believed to have introduced the young Liszt to the organ (and in particular to Bach's organ works).
(The next two should be easy for organ afficionados.)

Thanks. I'll take
Louis Victor Jules Vierne (1870-1937).
Charles-Marie Jean Albert Widor (1844-1937), organist and composer of ten organ symphonies.
(Yes, he's born in 1844, and not 1845 as one still sees all too frequently.)
I have a "Z" but no "X" or "Y". Xénakis was born in Romania and Ysaye in Belgium...
Well, we could do with hip-hop composer X-cell, but that would be drastically off topic!
For Y, operetta composer Maurice Yvain may be a bit more acceptable.
Very contemporary Pascal Zavaro

Somebody else should take the lead with the letter "G"
What's the next country?
Well gee ON, the honours are yours, but if you insist, my suggestion is Germany. What do others think?
Well done everyone, btw.
''Music, I feel, should be emotional first and intellectual second.'' - Maurice Ravel
''The greatest education in the world is watching the masters at work.'' - Michael Jackson
Germany
Well gee ON, the honours are yours, but if you insist, my suggestion is Germany. What do others think?
