In March 1709, in Albi Cathedral, Gilles, a choirboy, loses his voice just before his solo.

Published on 5 October 1999, it belongs to the «Musiques de tous les temps» collection from Gallimard Jeunesse; the paperback edition has 33 pages.
For children and young people interested in music and history, and to bring the baroque and the court of Louis XIV closer through an illustrated story.
