About the work
In the 17th century, people in the Netherlands liked to sing in their own language. To this end, countless collections of songs and loose-leafed texts were published for nearly every occasion: for a wedding or in a domestic setting, with musical accompaniment but also single-part sing-alongs for the market and pub. The subjects were varied, and usually sung along to an existing tune. Which one it should be was written at the top of the lyrics.
