The Recueils d’airs sérieux et à boire de différents autheurs (“RASB”) 1695-1715
Elizabeth Dobbin
The Recueils d’airs sérieux et à boire de différents autheurs (“RASB”) published by Christophe Ballard represent the major source in which airs sérieux are preserved.

The enduring commercial success of the RASB indicates that Ballard’s editorial choices were reflective of the tastes of the avid and elite music-public, and successful predictors of the next day’s fashion.
