DUBOIS, FRANCOIS CLEMENT THEODORE (1837 ) , French musical composer, was born at Rosney (Marne) on the 24th of August 1837. He studied at the Conservatoire under Ambroise
Thomas
 , and won the Grand Prix de Rome in 1861 with his cantata Atala. After the customary sojourn in Rome,
Dubois
  returned to Paris and devoted himself to teaching. He was appointed " maitre de Chapelle " at the
church
  of Ste Clotilde, where Cesar
Franck
  was organist, in 1863, and remained at this post for five years, during which time he composed a quantity of sacred music, notably Les Sept Paroles du Christ (1867), a
work
  which has become well known in France. In 1868 he became " maitre de Chapelle " at the
church
  of the
Madeleine, and nine years later succeeded Camille Saint-Satins there as organist. He became professor of harmony at the Conservatoire in 1871, and was appointed professor of composition in succession to Leo
Delibes
  in 1891. At the death of Ambroise
Thomas
  in 1896 he became director of the Conservatoire.
Dubois
  is an extremely prolific composer and has written in a variety of forms. His sacred works include four masses, a requiem, Les Sept Paroles du Christ, a large number of motets and pieces for organ.

His orchestral works include two concert overtures, the overture to Frithioff (188o), several suites,
Marche
  heroique de Jeanne d'Arc (1888), &c. He is also the author of Le Paradis perdu, an oratorio which gained for him the prize offered by the city of Paris in 1878; L'Enlevement de Proserpine (1879), a scene lyrique; Delivrance (1887), a cantata; Hylas (189o), a scene lyrique for
