Mariales is a set of 5 easy pieces, each one built on a gregorian theme. Incantation, Pastorale, Antienne, Hymne and Danse paraphrase respectively the following chants: Mater admirabilis, Regina cœli, Salve Regina, Virgo Dei genitrix and Ave maris stella. The general piano dynamic accompanies the serne character of the suite.
