Gabriel Marie was born in Paris on 8 January 1852. He was the father of the composer Jean Gabriel-Marie.
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").
