This is one of the first published songs by Clément Janequin. It was published in 1529. “Au joli jeu du pousse” has a similar structure to “Il est bel et bon de Passereau.” Each verse is surrounded by a chorus of ten measures with plays on stresses and alliterations. The two verses are more are declamatory and written in bicinium. Be careful, the pronunciation is tricky. An article was published by the Association À Coeur Joie in Polyphonies, May 2008.
