Just what I was thinking... a renaissance piece called Boars Head. The story
behind it is that a man was walking to church one Christmas morning and was
attacked by a wild boar, he killed it by shoving his hymnal down the boars
throat and took it to eat as part of the Christmas feast. Gross huh?
I played it a few years back as part of a Christmas concert by my Early
music consort.
Also... interesting information... There is a village about 10 miles from me
called Boars Head. I wonder sometimes when driving through if that's where
the story originates.
