During this event, different musical pieces were performed that delighted the attendees and showed the skill and passion of these young musicians. One of the pieces that was played was “Song of the Wind,” a popular German song that tells the story of a cunning thieving fox who is threatened by a hunter.
In the lyrics of this song, it is recounted that the fox has stolen a goose and that the hunter threatens to shoot him if he does not recover it. The fox, as clever as he is, tries to deceive the hunter by telling him that he has devoured it, but he is eventually discovered and must return the goose. The song ends with advice to the fox, suggesting that he should hunt for mice, that is, he should seek his food in nature.
It is interesting to note that this song is also popular in Japan, where it is known as “Kogitsune” and has a version with the same rhythm and melody. However, in the Japanese version, the fox is not a thief, but an adorable creature who adorns itself and gets pretty, and is described as unfortunate because it is threatened by the cold of winter. Additionally, the hunter, who in the German version is the one who threatens the fox, does not appear in the Japanese version.
“Song of the Wind” has been popular for decades and has been reinterpreted in different ways. For example, in 1936, the filmmaker Alfred Stöger made a short film with the same name as the song. Additionally, in 1997, Edith Walther published the German translation of Ann Granger’s book “A Season for Murder” under the title “Fuchs, du hast die Gans stolen”. And in 2008, the German deathcore band We Butter the Bread with Butter released their album “The Monster from the Closet,” in which they reinterpreted this song.
In summary, “Song of the Wind” is a song that has transcended cultures and borders, and continues to be appreciated for its catchy rhythm and entertaining story. The concerts of Málaga Violín Suzuki, Cordes Espai Educatiu de Alboraya, and Aula Suzuki de Buñol demonstrated the talent and passion of these young musicians, and they will surely continue to delight listeners with their music in the future.
