---
German organist and composer mainly active in Paris. Almost nothing is
known about his life. He probably settled in Paris around 1702. There he
received music lessons from Louis Marchand to whom later Guilain
dedicated his most important music collection; "Pièces d'orgue pour le
Magnificat sur les huit tons différents de l'église" (1706). Almost
nothing more is known about him and he probably died after 1739, the
year when he published a collection of 26 harpsichord pieces entitled
"Pieces de Clavecin / D'un Gour Noveau / Par Mr. Guilain". He also
published a "Messe in te cantatio semper" (Paris, 1707), but it is
currenty lost. His music style was purely on French tradition and his
organ music ranks among the best that could have been conceived in
France during the ancien régime.
