Can someone recommend a good website where I can read up on what I'm seeing? I know each horn signal probably conveys information to the riders, but it sounds like somebody went into the woods to play a Mozart Horn concerto.
What you see is probably a 'Schleppjagd' on the feast of St Hubertus, the patron saint of hunting. Instead of real fox hunting, a scented dummy is dragged to create a scent and the dogs and huntsmen follow the trail. The music here provided is the French ton de venerie, written for and played on the French trompe de chasse or trompe d'Orleans. The tunes played here are not completely played in the traditional setting for trompe de chasse, which I find to be a beautiful interpretation. The tunes I recognise are the 'Saint Hubert', 'Les Honneurs' and the 'Marche de Venerie' among others. Traditionally the horns were used to communicate between hunters and members of the hunting party and they were (and are) often played by mounted and unmounted players (sonneurs).

Thank you. I looked up Hubertus von Lüttich and found the article in English.
That's an interesting holiday.
