Wie in seiner Kammer-, Orchester- und Klaviermusik zeigt auch Francks Orgelmusik verschiedene deutsche Einflüsse in zwölf Kompositionen, die zwischen etwa 1859 und 1890 entstanden sind, gruppiert als Six Pièces (1862, veröffentlicht 1868), Trois Pièces (geschrieben für die Einweihung der Trocadéro-Orgel 1878) und Trois Chorals (vollendet 1890). Selbst eine zusammenfassende Analyse liefert Beweise für den Einfluss Bachs. Tatsächlich haben ab den 1860er Jahren, Boëlys Beispiel folgend, französische Komponisten wie Benoist, Chauvet, Niedermeyer und später Loiret ihre Schuld eingestanden. Obwohl Franck selbst die Fuge eher als Mittel zur Entfaltung sah, nie als Selbstzweck, dominiert die Fugentechnik viele Passagen im Prélude, Fugue et Variation, Pastorale, dem Epilog der Grande Pièce symphonique und später im zweiten Choral in F, einem Stück, das ebenfalls auf Bachs Behandlung der Passacaglia hinweist.
Der Einfluss von Beethoven ist viel offensichtlicher. Dies lässt sich an dem ständig angewandten Variationssystem ablesen, insbesondere im ersten Choral in E, an der Geschicklichkeit der Durchführung im Allegro non troppo e maestoso des Grande Pièce symphonique und sogar an der Themenreprise desselben Werkes, was auf eine Verschuldung gegenüber der Neunten Symphonie schließen lässt. Der Einfluss von Zeitgenossen wie Liszt und Wagner ist eher in der chromatischen Schreibweise, der Ausnutzung der thematischen Zellen und der thematischen Entwicklung durch sukzessive Modifikationen zu hören. Die Pastorale ist mehr lateinisch als germanisch, während die drei Choräle lutherische Strenge vermeiden. Im martialischen Ton und stattlichen Pomp des Finales, im Glanz des Grande Pièce symphonique und in der Struktur des Pièce héroique selbst hören wir jedoch deutlich den triumphalen Stil, der der französischen Orgelschule lieb und teuer war. Im Gegensatz zu deutschen Orgelkomponisten, die dazu neigen, die Registrierungsmöglichkeiten dem Spieler zu überlassen, gibt Franck sehr genau die von ihm gewünschten Klangfarben an und zeigt sich dabei so besorgt über die Klangqualität der Orgel, wie ein Orchestrator über die von einem Orchester geforderten Klangqualitäten besorgt wäre.
Like his chamber, orchestral and piano music, Franck's organ music shows various German influences in twelve compositions written between about 1859 and 1890, grouped as Six Pièces (1862, published 1868), Trois Pièces (written for the inauguration of the Trocadéro organ in 1878) and Trois Chorals (completed in 1890). Even a summary analysis yields evidence of Bach's influence. Indeed, from the 1860s, following Boëly's lead, French composers such as Benoist, Chauvet, Niedermeyer and later Loiret, admitted their debt. Though Franck himself saw fugue more as a means of development, never an end in itself, fugal technique dominates many passages in the Prélude, fugue et variation, Pastorale, the epilogue of the Grande Pièce symphonique and later in the second Choral in F, a piece also suggesting Bach's treatment of the passacaglia.
The influence of Beethoven is much more obvious. This can be traced through the system of variation constantly applied, particularly in the first Choral in E, in the skill of the development in the Allegro non troppo e maestoso of the Grande Pièce symphonique and even in the same work's recapitulation of themes, suggesting a debt to the Ninth Symphony. The influence of contemporaries such as Liszt and Wagner is heard more in chromatic writing, the exploitation of thematic cells and thematic development by means of successive modifications. The Pastorale is more Latin than Germanic, while the three chorales avoid Lutheran severity. In the martial tone and stately pomp of the Final, however, in the glory of the Grande Pièce symphonique and in the very structure of the Pièce héroique we clearly hear the triumphant style dear to the French organ school. Unlike German organ composers, who tend to leave registration options to the player, Franck gives very meticulous details of the timbres he wants, showing himself as concerned about the quality of sound produced by the organ as an orchestrator would be about the sonorities required from an orchestra.
