Jean-Joseph Vadé

Jean-Joseph Vadé (born January 17, 1719 in Ham (Somme) , † July 5, 1757 in Paris ) was a French writer and composer.

As an author of poems and comic operas, Vadé is considered to be the creator of the genre poissard . In the 1750s, more than 20 comic operas were written which, in addition to vaudeville melodies, contained Vadés' own songs. He wrote the libretto for Egidio Romualdo Duni's La Veuv indécise and Antoine Dauvergne's Buffooper Les Troqueurs . His poem La pipe cassée became famous with the title "poème épi-tragi-poissardi-héroïcomique".
