Question
A motive representing these animals, which consists of a repeated change between C-sharp minor and E-major chords, is used in Parsifal to signal its death. One movement depicting this animal opens with a high bassoon solo on the notes [read slowly] D, C-sharp, B-sharp, E-sharp, F-sharp. One of these animals appears onstage shortly after a character reveals his identity in the passage “In fernem Land”. In an opera by Richard Wagner, (*) Lohengrin travels in a boat pulled by one of these animals. A 6/4 cello and piano piece in G major represents this animal in Camille Saint-Saens’ Carnival of the Animals. A madrigal by Orlando Gibbons describes a “silver” one of these animals “who living had no note”, in a reference to the musical trope that these animals sing before dying. For 10 points, a ballet by Tchaikovsky is titled for what animal’s “Lake”? ■END■
