Lullaby for a dead baby?
on: October 29, 2009, 12:56:32 AM
Well, for all you lovers of the macabre in the Halloween season, I present what I consider the most disturbing of music in the "lullaby, cradle song, berceuse, etc" vein - songs/music played for the very young. Of what do I refer?

Samuel Feinberg's Berceuse, Op.19a (of course). If anyone thinks they know of a stranger example of such a work, please, oh please do tell!

I'm attaching the score, with an excerpt of a recording of it. May all your dreams be stranger than mine...if you dare tread the darkest recesses of your id! :-X :-[ :'( :o ;D
