Signed autograph musical manuscript, Prayer of the "Thirteen Men in the Mine" [K 53], 1931; 3 pages in-fol. Melody for voice (baritone or mezzo) and piano on a text by Pierre Hubermont (1903-1989), taken from his novel Treize Hommes dans la mine (1930): " Vous, tous les saints et toutes les saintes qui patronnez les puits et les chantiers "... Marked Lent, bar at 3, it is 26 bars long. It has been crossed out by Jolivet from the catalogue of works. Posthumous edition by Billaudot in 1999. The manuscript, signed at the end of the initials and dated "Paris. 15 mars 31 ", is carefully neatly neatened in black ink on 16-line paper; it was then abundantly corrected in pencil. At the head, Jolivet inscribed the dedication to Paul Régley. Discography: René Perler, Filippo Farinelli (Brilliant Classics, 2011).
