All I remember is that it was a complaint/lament by a person of lowly status having been harrassed by the local Lord's ('seigneur') dogs ('chiens') and beaten by clubs ('batons') when coming across a aristocratic hunting party. The version I heard was played on harps & recorder/pipes with a very strong vocal lead, instrumental break in the middle, and was from an old manuscript. Not much to go on, I know, but can someone get me started? |
