Paul Marie Théodore Vincent d'Indy (27 March 1851 - 2 December 1931) was a French composer and teacher. Inspired by his own studies with Franck and dissatisfied with the standard of teaching at the Conservatoire de Paris, d'Indy, together with Charles Bordes and Alexandre Guilmant, founded the Schola Cantorum de Paris in 1894. D'Indy taught there and later at the Paris Conservatoire until his death.

Vincent d’Indy is one of those composers that many have heard of and yet likely cannot recall the title of a major work. This is not to suggest that his compositions are in any way substandard as compared with more lauded contemporary countrymen such as Gabriel Fauré, Claude Debussy and Maurice Ravel. It is by dint of fate that d’Indy seemed to have receded into the shadow of their success.
D’Indy was particularly interested in ancient sacred music, particularly that of Palestrina. This interest led to his founding of the Cantorum Sanctum in Paris in 1896, which promoted the traditions of Palestrina’s compositional style and supported a course of study that included intensive investigation of its application. In addition, d’Indy employed folk songs in his orchestral works and felt, as so many of the time did, the influence of Wagner.
