Lorenzo Masini da Firenze (d. 1383, Italy)
3-voice caccia or canon
From live program "Diana's Hunt: Songs of the Bestiary"

lyrics

A poste messe veltri e gran mastini,
“Te, te, Villan, te, te, Baril,”
chiamando, “Ciof, ciof qui, qui ciof.”
Bracchi e segugi per bosch’aizando
“Eccola eccola!”
“Guarda, guarda qua!”
“Lassa, lassa, lassa!”
“O tu, o tu, o tu !”
“Passa, passa, passa!”
La cervia uscì al grido ed a l’abaio,
bianca, lattata col celiar di vaio.
A ricolta, bu, bu, bu, bu, sanca corno,
ta tin ta tin ta tin tin to tin to tin to
sonava per ischorno no no no no.

In their places, greyhounds and great mastiffs:
Calling, “You, you, Vilan! You, you, Baril!”
“Woof, woof, here, here, woof!”
Beagles and hounds heading through the woods.
“There she is! There she is!”
“Look, look here!”
“Let go, let go, let go!”
“O you, o you, o you!”
“There she goes, there she goes, there she goes!”
The doe emerged to the shouting and barking,
Milky white with a grey neck.
To rally, we sounded “bu bu bu,”
“Tatin titon” mockingly, without a horn.

Translation by Jamie Reuland
