Ricercare á 3 - after Richard Wagner's "Parsifal"

"Ricercare á 3" for a two-manual keyboard instrument;
freely modelled on the "Liebesmahl/Abendmahl"-motif & "Thoren"-motif from Richard Wagner's "Parsifal".
Wagner is, of course, most renown for creating new harmonic worlds based on increasing chromaticism, and as the inventor of the "Musikdrama", but it cannot be ignored that he also displays a highly layered polyphonic structure within his orchestral textures, especially in his later masterpieces.
Here is thus a little experiment, showcasing two of the main motifs from "Parsifal", but freed from their operatic context and set within a popular 16th century polyphonic form. Enjoy!
