To mark the occasion, the band teamed up with the village's mixed choir to put on a major musical: \u2018Monsieur Bigoudis\u2019. I had the honour of composing the opening piece for this project, which was a great success !<\/p>\n                    <p>The show was also the last major project of G\u00e9rard Descloux, a musician with L'Alp\u00e9e and a legendary figure in the region's musical world. A few months later, he sadly succumbed to illness, leaving behind a band for which he had worked so hard.<\/p>\n                    <p>G\u00e9rard had particularly appreciated my work : he congratulated me on many occasions, which touched me enormously.
