Gabriel Marie Grovlez (4 April 1879, Lille, France – 20 October 1944, Paris, France) was an eminent French composer and conductor.
He studied with Gabriel Fauré at the Conservatoire de Paris, and taught at the Schola Cantorum.[1] His main work was with the Societé National de l'Opéra, and his compositions were mainly for voice. Much of his work shows strong neo-classical influences.
