Nicolas Séjan

Nicolas Séjan (17 March 1745 – 16 March 1819) was a French composer and organist, from a family allied to the Forqueray.

Born in Paris, Séjan was one of the best organists of his time. He was co-titular of the organ of Notre-Dame de Paris and many other Parisian churches. He was appointed to the Chapelle Royale in 1789. He lost his charges during the French Revolution, but later recovered some of them.

He left a few works for the harpsichord and the pianoforte as well as the organ.

Nicolas Séjan was Louis-Nicolas Séjan's father, his successor at the church of Saint-Sulpice.

He died in Paris on 16 March 1819 and was buried at Montmartre Cemetery.
