"Music for the Donkey in the Office of the Feast of Fools" is a print of sheet music created by French archaeologist and art historian Aubin-Louis Millin in 1807-1808. The artwork is a print of musical notation with titles of the songs written in French. The piece contains six songs, including "Air de la Parade," "Air du Roy," and "Danse de l'Étoile." The print is a testament to Millin's interest in medieval and Renaissance music and culture. The work offers a glimpse into the musical traditions of the "Feast of Fools", a medieval festival often associated with irreverent and comedic performances.
