As early as the 15th century, it was customary at the Burgundian court to play originally sung chansons on the recorder. With his collection "27 Chansons musicales à quatre parties", the music printer Pierre Attaingnant took up this tradition in 1533, in which he identified selected pieces as particularly suitable for "la fleuste a neuf trous", i.e. the recorder. In this program, the danced solo galliards - fiery leaping dances that can also be found in Attaingnant's prints - form a counterpoint to the vocal chansons.
