Joseph Pierre Alexis Contant (12 November 1858 – 28 November 1918) was a Canadian composer, organist, pianist, and music educator. Trained as a pianist, he became one of the first Canadians to compose large-scale choral and orchestral works, in spite of the difficulty of finding suitable teachers of musical composition. His younger years were spent mostly in teaching, family, and work as a church organist, and many of his compositions were written later in life.

  • Joseph Pierre Alexis Contant (* 12. November 1858 in Montreal; † 28. November 1918 ebenda) war ein kanadischer Komponist, Pianist, Organist und Musikpädagoge. Contant hatte ersten Klavierunterricht bei seiner Mutter, einer Schülerin von Emma Albani, war dann Schüler des Organisten und Pianisten und ab 1875 von Calixa Lavallée. 1883 studierte er in Boston Harmonielehre, Kontrapunkt und Komposition. Wegen seines unkontrollierbaren Lampenfiebers bei öffentlichen Auftritten verzichtete er auf eine Karriere als Konzertpianist und war von 1885 bis zu seinem Tode Organist an der St-Jean-Baptiste Church in Montreal.
