Jean-Louis Petit wrote many songs ordered by music teachers, graduates and hosts. They are often written for one or two voices with instrumental accompaniment. Several accompaniments are possible: a lone piano, a large orchestra and several sizes of chamber orchestras.
The poems were selected by children. They also chose on what topic the collection would be about. Songs can be accompanied on the harp, on the piano or on the electronic keyboard.
