Roméo Clément [Roméo] Larivière (21/11/1880 - 05/03/1939), a Canadian composer, Gregorianist, born in Montréal. He joined the Clercs de Saint-Viateur as a teaching brother while very young and was attached mainly to St-Joseph College in Berthierville and the Bourget College in Rigaud, Que. Except for a few piano lessons in Montreal from Jean-Baptiste Denys, he was largely self-taught as a musician. Nevertheless, he became a teacher of liturgical song and a respected composer.
