La Dominicale or Société des dominicaux was an 18th-century goguette (singing society), founded in 1759 and active for many years.
It disappeared during the French Revolution after counting among its ranks Jean-Joseph Vadé (died 1757) and Claude Prosper Jolyot de Crébillon (died 1777).
Its longevity was not exceptional; other singing societies, such as the Joyeux in Belleville, Paris or the Lice chansonnière, for example, also existed for a long time.
Arthur Dinaux wrote:[1] Sophie Arnould, driven by curiosity, cute sin of women, wanted to know this committee of letters and arts and came one day the first, she mysteriously stood behind a screen, and when the last of the guests had arrived, she appeared and said with a laugh, "Gentlemen, don't refuse a colleague.
Finally, her acceptance speech was so spiritually turned that she was accepted as a member by acclamation.
