André-Joseph Exaudet

Within a year of its publication Vadé had added a text and incorporated it into his opera Le Suffisant.

On 1 October 1763 the Mercure de France announced an orchestral arrangement by Berton and a year later another appeared by L'Abbé le fils.

Its popularity was kept alive with a variety of texts; it even became the tune for a revolutionary song, Arbre heureux.

It appeared in innumerable collections of airs and instrumental method books, often with variations.
