This Recording:
- • Wagner: Götterdämmerun...
Leitmotives from the Ring Cycle:
- • Wagner Leitmotives - 1... - Hudba
If only the entire Ring was available in this kind of format.
The Transformation leitmotiv is so haunting: it's just that piece of music that gets stuck in your mind and keeps you awake at night wondering where the heck you heard it before.😅😌
Well...of you listened to the whole Ring, you heard it sung by Sieglinde back in act 3 of Die Walkuere.
Me gusta más el motivo de Sigfrido
5:14 No words to describe the beauty here.
I remember when i was in high school, many days, i used to listen to this part until the end before taking the bus. I loved this part. "Redemption though love" leitmotiv !
When I first started to learn about the Ring leitmotivs, I remember what is called the Transformation leitmotiv was called Redemption Through Love...I like the idea of combining the idea between both names, the theme is first sung by Sieglinde in Act 3 of Die Walkurie when she first learns she will have a son and decides she wants to live and not die.
I believe Wagner himself called the motif "Brynnhilde's glorification".
@@jaakkokeskinen I was not aware of that, thank you

One of the most outstanding endings ever written in music. Thank you very much for this analysis video.
I didn’t know how it happend but I started to cry. It was so beautiful how he brought things together and went from strong melody’s to a beautiful light breathtaking one. Amazing
happens every time. this performance in particular.
Of course you did. Its overwhelming. Im crying thinking about YOU crying!
Fantastic video, please do more like this, there are so many Wagner lovers awaiting such things and so many wonderful scenes in the Ring to be explained.
Ever since I discovered the ring, long time ago, I was waiting for a video like this. Thank you so much!
My favourite moment in the Ring recorded by my favourite singer while being beautifully illustrated and explained... this is my new favourite video on CZcams thank you so much
this is freaking brilliant! So glad i found this- i can just play for my class! Thank you!
It's hard to express my gratitude for your work with words, but I'll try: thank you so much!!
Great visualization! Thanks a lot! The moment that the brass section plays the Valhalla-motif in a different measure than the rest of the orchestra, fantastic!
As a fan of Gotterdammerung and it's it's leitmotivs and not being Chinese: I've looked at five Chinese characters that denote "Twilight of the Gods" and the five that denote "Power of the Gods"; noticed the 1st three of each are identical and the last two aren't, meaning "Twilight" is a two character Chinese word. Below both is an oblique type version of Twilight of the Gods in Chinese as it denotes (inversion of) Twilight of the Gods. The two characters that denote power are also seen in oblique font in (aka Power of the Ring) along with "of the Ring". Wagner's Gotterdammerung is so powerful: it's teaching me Chinese!😆
Fun fact (and as an aside): In old German the word dammert is the verb twilight, and dammerung is the noun twilight. In English: there is only one version of the word twilight. In both languages it doesn't denote the difference between dawn and dusk, hence its magic in Gotterdammerung; in fact: all of Der Ring des Nibelungen.
Humanity’s greatest creation. Will anyone ever best Wagner?
think you could be right
Mozart preceded him in Le Nozze di Figaro.
@@alexandre1690This is way beyond Mozart’s operas.
@@Dylonely42 Don't get me wrong, this is one of my favorite moments in one of my favorite operas by one of my favorite composers. But Mozart, especially in Le Nozze do Figaro, was utterly sublime in a way I haven't heard in any other piece of music, ever. I would even say Der Ring is better than Don Giovanni and Die Zauberflüte, but not Figaro...
Maravilloso, magnífico, muy bien trabajo 😮😮😮😮😅
Such a fantastically interwoven web!
This is just amazing, great work. Sad that it doesn't have a lot more views
Thank you!
@@unt5784que bien trabajo hermosa, 🥰
Excellente réalisation , notamment concernant le génial emploi des " leitmotive" !!!! ( Pourquoi celui de "La rédemption par l'amour " est -il nommé "transformation " ??????!!!!!!!

非常好！！閣下讓那些說半天也看不懂总譜寫什麽的人知道怎樣讀了！！很好！！
I love you for doing this.
Super. This really opened up my understanding of leitmotif.
Great job. Thank you very much.
It's very fantastic and valuable job!
Thank you, such a great video help to understand alot 👍👍👍
Thank you so very much!
Thank you.
Such a great work, thanks ! I will give the link to my students, as we are currently exploring the Ring and the leitmotifs
Thank you!
Amazing!!!
Thank You!!!!
Únicamente queda llorar... maravilloso.
2:44 is clearly referencing "Oh hehrstes Wunder" from the Walküre, which I guess is not a distinct leitmotif, yet still one of the most powerful ones imho.
Yes, it is. Actually, this melody is used only in "Oh hehrstes Wunder" and at the end of The Ring, but musicologists still treat it as a leitmotif because it's so explicit and prophetic.
I was very familiar with the Immolation Scene before I saw the complete Die Walküre for the first time.
I still remember the utter shock I felt at "Oh hehrstes Wunder".
Wow.
Where did that come from?
Where did it go?
The translation is really top-tier. It manages to capture the archaic language that Wagner uses really well.
But you kind of missed the visualisation of the magic fire going on in the strings as the Valhal theme blasts. Kind of important considering that it is just in the process of burning to ashes.
thank you
Im showing this to my friends.
Is there anything left to be said after this delightful music?
Make more illustrations like this 😀
1:30 Ride of the Valkyries
Espectacular, eres muy hermosa
Genius
Really refreshed by this amazing piece and this wonderful visualization work. Let the war be burnt out and gone in the fire as is the crime of the ring. May the purification and peace be with Ukraine.
在知乎上琢磨中古音的时候看到你们设计的切韵拼音方案，油管上又推荐给我你的频道，发现竟然也是音乐人？😺
Eu conheço o motivo da transformação pelo nome de redenção pelo amor.
pretty sure this' Birgit Nilsson under Karl Böhm from the green hall in Bayreuth!
Solti and Vienna Phil.
Nilsson is at least as good in the Böhm version, which, as it was recorded live, meant she sounded that good at the end of the five hour opera. Remarkable powers.
Is there a book/resource you recommend with a catalog of these leitmotifs (in English)?

These two sites might help
Where have I heard that 5:37 to 5:44 before? Probably at the end of some old black and white romantic film as they ride off into the sunset! What is the leitmotif called?
It is the 'Transformation' motif, also called 'Redemption by Love' moif. Music of those old films was largely influenced by Wagnerism, so it is not suprising that they share similiar styles.
@@unt5784 Thank you
Not exactly answering your question, but to show the influence of Wagner on film, compare the Libestod from Tristan und Isolde to Bernard Herman’s “Scene d’Amour” from Vertigo
@@CapnKV That's ok, the more info. the better!
It’s used in West Side Story by Bernstein for “I have a love”
A lot going on there...
7:38
The whole of the Ring Cycle and its techniques, orchestration, leitmotifs, the lot have provided a colossal influence on the development and history of Western Classical Music and we have to appreciate it, even though its composer's ethical and political opinions have a lot to answer for. This is the dilemma of appreciating his music. Honestly, it does make me cry when I listen to it... not only because of the amazing music, but also because I have to question, "why did it have to be written by such a horrible man?"
And then I saw a New Heaven and a New Earth. For the Old Heaven and the Old Earth Passed away. And there was no longer a sea.
-Revelation 21:1
This music truly symbolizes the Second Coming of Jesus Christ and the Rapture.
This was Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s favorite opera scene. May her memory be a blessing.
Please do more of this
