Émile Bouichère

Marc-Émile-Charles Bouichère (* 11. April 1861 in Djidjelli; † 4. September 1895 in Paris) war ein französischer Organist.

From 1877, Bouichère studied counterpoint and harmonica at Eugène Gigout, organ and improvisation with Clément Loret and composition with Gustave Lefèvre at the École Niedermeyer. He was the first organist in 1883 at the Saint-Nicolas church in Saint-Maur-des-Fosses. In 1885 he succeeded André Messager, the later director of the Paris Opera, as an organist at the Parisian church Sainte-Marie des Batignolles.

Afterwards, he became a conductor at the Église de la Sainte-Trinité. He gave music lessons and worked as a choral director with the principal organist Alexandre Guilmant and the organist of the Chororgel, Théodore Salomé. His successor was Dominique-Charles Planchet in 1895.

He also taught piano at the École Niedermeyer and the Collège de Joinville, singing at the École de chant, founded by his wife Émilie Ambre. He published two volumes of unpublished or little-known organ pieces (around 1890) and composed some church music works, including an offertory, the motet o sacrum and a cantata domino. On the occasion of the 100th birthday of the chemist Eugène Chevreul, his Marche triomphale was performed in Paris. The performance of his Cantata pour le 14e centenaire du baptême de la France took place in Reims in 1895. Standard data (person): VIAF: 34723672 | Wikipedia People Search
