About This Song
About "Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg, WWV 96, Act II, Scene 6: "Jerum! Jerum!"" by Benno Kusche
Benno Kusche's Beckmesser stumbles through a moonlit alley, his serenade curdling into a comic nightmare. Wagner's orchestration flickers between mock-romance and menace, each 'Jerum!' a splintered howl. The tension is pure farce edged with cruelty—a night watchman's world tilting into chaos.
