symphoniette

English: symphoniette

From symphonie + -ette (diminutive suffix).

Très-recherché et même précieux dans la demi-teinte, Félicien David s’élève aux effets de grandeur par la carrure et la simplicité. On pourrait citer dans les parties précédentes de l’ode-symphonie l’adorable petite chanson du mousse, le chœur des sirènes, peut-être aussi la symphoniette du départ, dont les fanfares et les détonations ne manquent pas de grandeur; mais les airs et les duo pseudo-dramatiques sont trop faibles, et nous ne les mentionnons que parce qu’on y surprend les premières velléités de F. David vers la musique de théâtre.

1872, Jean Édouard Gustave Bertrand, Les Nationalités Musicales Étudiées dans le Drame Lyrique, page 299:

ranz des vaches

ranz des vaches m (plural ranz des vaches)

From Swiss variant of rang des vaches (literally “rank of the cows”), calque of dialectal German Kuhreihen, with the second element Reihen (“dance”) misinterpreted at Reihe (“row”).

Pourtant, ironiquement, jamais ce mot de « nostalgie » ne prend forme avant que, en 1678, un médecin suisse, Jean-Jacques Harder, ne l’invente pour que les gardes suisses, ceux du pape comme ceux du roi, qui désertent quand ils entendent le ranz des vaches, ce chant des alpages, soient, non pas fusillés comme les déserteurs qu’ils sont, mais réintégrés et soignés comme des malades à chouchouter.
