Théodore Salomé
Théodore Salomé (1834-1896) was a French organist and composer. He was born in Paris, France, and studied music at the Paris Conservatoire, with Bazin for harmony and accompaniment, and Benoist for organ.
He served as organist and choirmaster at the Église de la Sainte-Trinité in Paris, where Alexandre Guilmant was organiste titulaire. Guilmant and Salomé became great friends, dedicating several compositions to each other.
Salomé’s compositions were largely religious in nature and included hymn tunes, anthems, and organ voluntaries. Some of his most well-known compositions include among others canons, offertoires and sorties.
