About This Song
About "Der Karneval der Tiere, R. 125: Erzählung Teil 11" by Barbara Schöneberger
In part eleven, the carnival's parade slows to a sly procession. Schöneberger narrates with a storyteller's gleam, her words floating over Saint-Saëns' delicate, slightly unsettling harmonies. It's a moment of poised calm that feels like the prelude to a prank.
