Musicology:

The Fox
Year: 1930
Genre: Solo Song / Lied / Chanson
Pr. Instruments: Voice & Piano

This song for tenor and piano accompaniment has words by Bruce Blunt for its text. The odd, eerie mood of this slowly unwinding piece is set by peculiarly voiced minor chords with added chromatics. The singer observes the mounted head of a fox at "The Fox Inn" - "High on the wall Above the cask Laughs at you all The fox's mask. The horn is still The huntsmen gone; After the kill the fox lives on ... His eyes outstare The dead of old ... You will not call, I shall not stir When the fangs fall From that brown fur."
