Quam gallina

Jacob Handl (1550-1591)

Original Text

English Translation

 

Quam gallina suum parit ovum
gloccinat ante
et positum post
grave rursus onus.

How does the hen lay her egg? —
she clucks before
and again after
laying the heavy burden.


This piece was performed by the SFBC in Jacob Handl: Opus Musicum III on May 14, 2005.
