Félix-Alexandre Guilmant. Born Boulogne-sur-Mer, France 12 March 1837.
Died Meudon, France 29 March 1911.
From the Opus 60 set of Christmas themed pieces. No 7 of Book One of Four Books.
It is listed as - Communion No.1. Noël écossais (F major)

Guilmant devoted himself almost entirely to works for his own instrument, the organ. His organ output includes: 'Pièces dans différents styles', published in 18 books; 'L'organiste pratique', published in 12 books; Eighteen 'Pièces Nouvelles'; and 'L'Organiste liturgique', published in 10 books.
Guilmant's Eight Sonatas were conceived with the Cavaillé-Coll organ of La Trinité in mind, and are therefore symphonic in style and form, taking their place alongside the symphonic organ works of César Franck and the Organ Symphonies of Charles-Marie Widor.
