Biography
Auguste Chapuis (French pronunciation: [oɡyst ʃapɥi]; 25 April 1858 – 6 December 1933) was a 19th/20th century French composer, organist, and professor. He
was a student with César Franck. The rue Auguste-Chapuis in the 20th arrondissement of Paris was named after him when he died in 1933.
He was awarded the Prix Rossini in 1886 for Les Jardins d'Armide on a libretto by the playwright Émile Moreau.
In 1894, he succeeded Adolphe Danhauser as head of the municipal orphéon of Paris.
Two scores were dedicated to him, one by Jacques Charlot, Chanson (1910), for piano, and the other one by Samuel Rousseau, 12 Pièces for organ.
