Joseph Pierre Alexis Contant (12 November 1858 – 28 November 1918) was a Canadian composer, organist, pianist, and music educator.[1] Trained as a pianist, he became one of the first Canadians to compose large-scale choral and orchestral works, in spite of the difficulty of finding suitable teachers of musical composition.[2][3] His younger years were spent mostly in teaching,[4] family, and work as a church organist, and many of his compositions were written later in life.
