Marie
Gabriel-Marie (1852–1928) was a French composer and conductor who studied at the Conservatoire de Paris and held a prominent place in the Parisian musical world of the Belle Époque. His output was large and varied, running from orchestral sketches to salon pieces for almost every conceivable instrumental combination, but his name has become almost entirely synonymous with a single work: La Cinquantaine, an Air in the Old Style from 1887 that sounds so convincingly like a genuine French melody of an earlier age that it has been a fixture of recital and examination programmes ever since. He died unexpectedly in Puigcerdà in the Spanish Pyrenees, aged seventy-six.
