Rock and roll is a style of popular music that originated from the U.S in the mid-1950s, and by mid-1960s it had developed to an international style known as rock music, though the latter continued to be, rock and roll or rock 'n' roll or rock & roll. The music is associated with performers like Little Richard, Chuck Berry, Buddy Holly and the early Beatles. Instrumentation and arrangements are simple: three or four instruments, and, mostly the same number of cords while horns and strings and back up singers can be added.
Although no instrumental parts are preserved in the notation, a number of instruments are mentioned in the play: Robin plays a silver flageolet, Huars a musette, Boudon and Gautier the tambourin and the comamuse au grand bourdon, and two other have horns.
