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), 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.
