Ein Hennlein Weiss - (A Small White Hen)

Italian court musician and composer Antonio Scandello (1517-1580) rose to the position of Kapellmeister in Dresden, making him one of the most important musicians in Germany at the time. This spirited Renaissance-era choral work, translating to "a small, white hen", includes humorous references to a chicken laying an egg, complete with a modest narrative and poultry vocalizations!
