: In the early 1600s the Picardie third was used to raisze the minor third to a mjor third at the end of a piece. Does anyone knows the meaning of the word Picardie in this context ? Many thanks, jpl

In Europe it is known as the tierce de picardie. This is an area of Northern France but no-one knows the connection. Rousseau was the first to use the term much later than much of the music which employs this device.
