About This Song
About "Der Karneval der Tiere, R. 125: Erzählung Teil 13" by Barbara Schöneberger
Part thirteen closes the carnival narration with a flourish of theatrical charm. Schöneberger's voice dances over Saint-Saëns' playful counterpoint, each phrase a tiny curtain call. The emotional register is buoyant yet edged with the bittersweet knowledge that the parade is ending.
