About This Song
About "Die Nacht, D 983c" by The King's Singers
Schubert's Die Nacht is a short, sharp shock of darkness. The King's Singers don't soften it. Their voices move like shadows across a wall—close, then gone. It's a miniature of unease, the calm of the choir belying the text's quiet terror. Night here is not peaceful; it's a held breath.
