hunting songs
Tunes for stalking
Hunting songs are musical compositions associated with the chase, traditionally sung or played during fox hunts and similar pursuits.
They often feature horn calls and rousing melodies suited to outdoor performance on horseback.
The genre extends to folk songs celebrating hunting culture and, in some traditions, to call-and-response work songs used to coordinate hunting parties: The men sang old hunting songs as they rode out at dawn.
