He served as the organist at Saint-Sulpice in Paris for an incredible 64 years, where he played and composed for one of the most famous Cavaillé-Coll organs. His "Symphonie pour orgue No. 5" includes the famous Toccata, a dazzling and widely performed piece that remains a favorite at weddings and recitals.
