In the late 1990s, a score was found in Germaine Tailleferre´s papers with the title page "Choral et Fugue pour orchestre d´harmonie" and a dedication "à L´Harmonie Municipale de Lyon". The pages which followed contained the score of "Choral" for organ with optional brass and "Fugue" for orchestra. When the late composer Desiré Dondeyne was consulted concerning this score, he confirmed that this work had been projected, but refused to say anything further on the subject. Research was undertaken to try to locate a scale in the municipal archives of the City of Lyons (as the Municipal Band no longer exists) but proved to be unsucessful. It is unclear whether or not Tailleferre intended to undertake this work herself or if she intended to entrust it (as she often did) to Dondeyne. In any case, it would appear that the concert band version for this work was probably never completed.

Paul Wehage, a longtime scholar of the works of Tailleferre, has undertaken the orchestration of this work The Fugue movement remains close to Tailleferre´s original version
for orchestra. The choral section is entirely rescored.
