 Bernard Gagnepain gathered polyphonic songs intended to be sung in unison. “Quinze vaudevilles ou rondes de table” was published by Christophe Ballard between 1700 and 1702. Those Bacchic parodies are written in a bawdy way which was popular in the 18th century. Musical style melodies are one aspect of the three-voiced chorus, and melodies of carols are the other aspect. Enjoy!
