Brunetes, ou, Petits airs tendres, avec les doubles et la basse-continue

"Brunetes, ou, Petits airs tendres, avec les doubles et la basse-continue" is a collection of French songs from the early 18th century. Published in 1703, this volume, the first in a series, features "mÃalées de chansons a danser," indicating its use for both listening and dance. Authored by Christophe Ballard, a prominent figure in French music publishing, this work offers valuable insight into the popular musical tastes of the era. The songs, known as 'airs tendres', showcase the elegance and sentimentality characteristic of French baroque vocal music. This historical songbook provides a glimpse into the musical landscape of the French court and society during the reign of Louis XIV.
