Based upon delightful songs and singing games from Quebec. Score and five parts: oboe or clarinet, bassoon or 'cello or bass clarinet, piano or harpsichord.

Ten movements:
1. Trio: Scrambled eggs; Buy My Fresh Eggs / Omellete au lard; Cassons les ouefs. Vivace.
2. Oboe and bassoon: Monday, Washday / Lundi, jour de lavage. Giocoso.
3. Bassoon and keyboard: Renaud. Lamentoso e rubato.

The first printing of the recently-discovered "original" version of the music by the little known A.K.A. Bach that later became known as "The Clarinet Polka".
