Template:Short description Pierre Lantier (30 April 1910 – 4 April 1998) was a French composer and pianist, and the husband of fellow composer Paule Maurice.

Born in Marseille, Lantier was affiliated with the Conservatoire de Paris.[1] In 1937, he won the prestigious Prix de Rome composition scholarship (a prize he shared with Victor Serventi).[2][3]

One of Lantier's most widely known works is a Sicilienne for alto saxophone and piano.[4] His many other chamber-music pieces include Andante et Scherzetto, for saxophone quartet; an Introduction, Romance, et Allegro, for bass trombone and piano; a sonata for trumpet and piano; and Euskaldunak, a sonata for alto saxophone and piano.

His larger-scale compositions include a Requiem (premiered in 1981), as well as three works for piano and orchestra.[5] His music continues to be championed by present-day conductor Patrick Botti.[6]

Pierre Lantier died on 4 April 1998 in Ollioules in southeastern France.[7]
