about

Norwegian artist Susanna, the woman behind Susanna and the Magical Orchestra and a creator of bold, original and enrapturing music since 2004, is releasing a new EP, “The Harmony of Evening”, from her collaboration with The Norwegian Radio Orchestra. The EP is a follow-up to her highly acclaimed album called “Baudelaire & Orchestra’’ from 2023.

lyrics

Now comes the time when trembling on its stem
Each flower diffuses fragrance like a censer;
Perfumes and sounds swirl in the evening air;
Slow melancholy waltz and dizzy languor.

Each flower diffuses fragrance like a censer;
The violin trembles like a grieving heart,
Slow melancholy waltz and dizzy languor!
The sky is spread like an altar of repose.

The violin trembles like a grieving heart,
A tender heart that hates the vast dark void!
The sky is spread like an altar of repose;
The sun is drowned in its own thickening blood.

A tender heart that hates the vast dark void
Gathers each gleaming vestige of the past;
The sun is drowned in its own thickening blood....
Your memory shines in me like a monstrance.
