IV. Livre de chansons du sieur de Chancy, maistre de la musique de la chambre du Roy.
A 1651 Paris songbook, the fourth book of chansons by François de Chancy, music master to the King's chamber, printed by Robert Ballard for courtly singers and amateur musicians. Its pages pair staff notation with French verse under ornate historiated initial letters, and a designer could take the decorative capitals with their figures and foliage, plus the dense, tidy rhythm of printed music.
