Great Moments in Opera, Wagner's "Ride of the Valkyries"
Â
In Wagner's opera "The Valkyrie" (the second in "The Ring"), Wotan, the chief god of all, the first orders Brunhilde (the head of his Walkryies) to help Siegmund can emerge victorious from the Hunding battle and win the love of Sieglinde, who also happens to be his sister.
It is, however, after giving orders that Wotan is forced to retire when his wife, Fricka (goddess of marriage and conventionality) convinces him that he must defend Hunding's rights, who is the husband of Sieglinde and Siegmund no, that is simply trying to steal
the wife of another man.
Therefore, with great reluctance that Wotan Brünnhilde said he changed his mind and now wants to fight alongside Hunding so that you can win.
Â
Brunhilde that the soldier is obedient, reflecting demand for Wotan is less enthusiastic in helping Hunding, which seen as a bad man who had taken his wife Sieglinde by force. Brunhilde However, despite their reluctance to follow the orders of Wotan offers help Hunding Siegmund remains convinced to do the opposite of what has been loaded. This is precisely what is equally Brunhilde and Siegmund is about to emerge victories Wotan intervenes in favor of Hunding; kill Siegmund.
Â
Wotan is too aware that Brunhilde opposite of what he ordered. As you use the power that gave him not only against their will, but also. Brunhilde, immediately saw that he was caught in an act of insubordination, he fled, knowing that Wotan's wrath will soon be in it and is in desperate flight we hear "Ride of the Valkyries. "
Â
"Ride of the Valkyries" in fact, the party starts in three acts, as Wotan in all its fury prosecution once his beloved Brunnhilde and the music we can feel his anger and rage, both in ascent to heaven. One in a vain attempt to escape from almost any other to justify their legislation. The music is very heavy, using brass and percussion in a way that makes this piece both for its time was the heavy metal years 80. Final sample music, like a hurricane blowing through a city of mass destruction or an invading army that produces this irresistible force or the harmonies "Ride Of The Walkryies" dictate to those who felt his influence.
Â
Paseo De La Walkryies "has lyrics and still not have no relation to the actions taking place, as we understand Walkryies Brunhilde colleagues make merry and singing about how they should take a horse out of a male horse, because it shows that his desires go beyond being friendly. Wotan, Brunhilde naturally capture and severely punished for their actions, but not this part no longer a lasting impression not only in the history of opera, but the music as a whole. Paseo De La Walkryies "influenced not only by heavy metals, but also many contemporary composers of film music as John Williams and many others.
Â
For my part, I would say "Ride Of The Walkryies" is not only a great song despite its possibly played as it not only reflects the essence of Wagner, but who knows German opera. I would also add he is my friend, Maa, gorzata love for this piece, partly inspired me to write this article.
