Biography
Gabriel-Marie was born in Paris, France on 8 January 1852. He studied at the
Conservatoire de Paris and held a prominent position in the local musical world.[1] He died unexpectedly on 29 August 1928 in
Puigcerdà,
Girona, Spain.
Gabriel-Marie's works include La Cinquantaine ("
The Golden Wedding", 1887) for cello and piano, for octet, and in various other arrangements. He also composed many dance pieces, notably the waltz Sous les firnes ("Under the Ash Trees", 1884) and the highly original polka Frais minois ("Fresh Face").
