Annette Schenk Thoma (January 23, 1886 – November 26, 1974)[1] was a German author,[2] composer,[3] and folklorist who is best remembered for her composition Deutsche Bauernmesse (German Farmer's Fair), a collection of alpine folk tunes.[4]

Thoma was born in Neu-Ulm. Her father was Lieutenant (later Major General) Albert Schenk.[5] Thoma studied English and French abroad, then married the painter Emil Thoma and moved to Riedering. There she met and worked with the Bavarian folk musician Paul Kiem in 1930 to record local folk music.[6] She wrote a book and many articles about folk music. Thoma composed the Deutsche Bauernmesse in 1933, and wrote the lyrics for the first Salzburg Advent Singing in 1946.[7]
