François (or Francis) Thomé (1850 - 1909), was a
French pianist and composer. He studied at the Paris
Conservatoire with Jules Laurent Duprato and Ambroise
Thomas. After leaving the Conservatoire he became well
known as a composer of salon pieces and was in demand
as a pianist and teacher. His music was particularly
successful in the French provinces, and two of his
operas were first performed outside Paris. He became
popular towards the end of the 19th Century as a
composer of accompanied poems, but is also known for
his stage works which encompassed various genres,
including ballet, pantomime, incidental music (for a
wide range of plays), bleuettes, and operettas, such as
Baron Fric (1886).
"Sous la Feuillée" (Opus 9) was a transcription for
Concert (Pedal) Harp of the 1887 Piano work by Francis
Thomé.
