This sheet music is a collection of five choirs intended to be performed by three equal children voices accompanied on the piano. It is based on texts by Anne Germain, Bernard Lesbats and Maurice Bourdet. It is based on melodies by Claude Germain.
Claude Germain and Anne Germain worked together so many times that their names are difficult to see separately. Their songs are famous, sung and republished. They can more be said as being songs created together than a composition based on their poems. Claude Germain learned how to play the piano and harmony at Ecole Normale of Music in Paris with Jean and Noël Gallons. He was part of the vocal jazz band Les Double Six and Swingle Singers. He received two Grammy Awards in the United States. He and his wife accompanied many artists. He composed and arranged many movie musics and conducted the corresponding orchestras.
