Tendresses Bacchiques
Following on from my facsimile of Ballard's Brunetes
I have now published a facsimile version of the Tendresses Bacchiques This is a volume of songs published in 1712 that
Ballard describes as being both "tendres et à boire" and which he considered as a supplement to the volumes of Brunetes and Parodies.
