Antoine Busnoys - In hydraulis

In hydraulis quondam Pythagora
Admirante melos, phthongitates
Malleorum, percussa aequora
Per ponderum inaequilitates
Adinvenit musae quidditates.
Epitritum ac emioliam,
Epogdoi duplam nam perducunt
Nam tessaron pente convenientiam
Nec non phthongum et pason adducunt,
Monocordi dum genus conducunt.
Hec Ockeghem cunctis qui precinis
Galliarum in Regis latria
Practiculum tue propaginis
Arma cernens quondam per atria
Burgundie ducis in patria.
Per me Busnois illustris comitis
De Chaurolais indignum musicum
Saluteris tuis pro meritis
Tamquam summum Cephas tropidicum
Vale versum instar Orpheicum.

-----------------------

Once, as Pythagoras marvelled at
The melodies of water organs and the tonalities
Of hammers, having contemplated the surfaces
According to their unequal weights,
He discovered the inherent properties of music.

These produce epitrite and hemiola,
Epogdous and duple, for they lead
To the harmony of the fourth and fifth,
And also to the tone and the octave,
While bringing together the species of the monochord.

You, Ockeghem, who sing before all
In the service of the King of the French,
Strengthen the practice of your posterity
By examining their implements on occasion in the halls
Of the Duke of Burgundy, in your fatherland.

By me, Busnoys, unworthy musician
Of the illustrious Count of Charolais,
May you be greeted for your merits,
As the supreme master of melody.
Farewell, true image of Orpheus!
