Born in Settimo Vittone in Piedmont and trained in Milan, Turin and Rome, Pietro Yon was assistant organist at St Peter’s in Rome before emigrating in 1907 to the United States, where he became a citizen in 1921. Organist of St Francis Xavier in New York and then, from 1926 until his death, of St Patrick’s Cathedral, he was also a sought-after teacher; his Christmas piece "Gesù Bambino" and his Humoresque "L’organo primitivo" remain his most played works.
