Plural of canzonet; multiple short, light songs or canzonets.
The English plural of canzonet, formed by adding -s to the diminutive Italian form that already ended in -et.
English speakers in the 1500s-1700s collected canzonets the way we collect pop songs today—they were genuinely popular entertainment, and many Renaissance songbooks are basically canzonet compilations.
