Bergerette

A bergerette, or shepherdess' air, is a form of early rustic French song.

The bergerette, developed by Burgundian composers, is a virelai with only one stanza.

[1][2][3] It is one of the "fixed forms" of early French song and related to the rondeau.

[4] Examples include Josquin's Bergerette savoyene included in Petrucci's Odhecaton (1501).
