Download or read book An Introduction to Richard Wagner s Der Ring Des Nibelungen written by William O. Cord and published by . This book was released on 1995 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today, more than a century after its first performance, Richard Wagner's The Ring of Nibelung endures as one of the most significant artistic creations in the history of opera. This monumental work not only altered previously accepted concepts of music and drama but also inspired creative and intellectual efforts far beyond the field of opera. Previous studies of the Ring have appealed only to those already acquainted in some way with the Wagnerian art. For the uninitiated, Wagner and his landmark creation have seemed forbidding, and those eager to learn about the masterpiece have faced a vast and frequently esoteric body of commentary. Professor Cord addresses the interests of the non-specialist by taking the reader first into Wagner's unique intent, and then through the complete history of the Ring. Cord, who has attended forty performances of the Ring, considers the conception of the poem, its development into a music-drama exemplifying Wagnerian thought, its introduction to the world, and the reactions and interpretation it elicits.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: English National Opera Guides are ideal companions to the opera. They provide stimulating introductory articles together with the complete text of each opera in English and the original. The opening evening of Wagner's four-part cycle, "The Ring of Nibelung," stands apart as more naive and picturesque than the others. But it immediately establishes the huge scale of the overall work, and the extraordinary musical language that will be displayed throughout. It is a miracle of musical history that Wagner's 1850 conception could be brought to completion, in an organic whole, some 25 years later. Stewart Spencer discusses the way in which Wagner fuses genuine mythology with his own invention and John Deathridge places The Rhinegold in the context of The Ring and its century.

Download or read book Wagner s the Ring of the Nibelung written by J. Cuthbert Hadden and published by Blurb. This book was released on 2019-01-09 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A concise and easily-readable summary of the plot of the epic four-cycle Richard Wagner Opera, collectively known as the Ring of the Nibelung. Designed to make the plots of the four "cycles" (or dramatic operas) as easy to follow as possible, the author deals with each opera in its chronological order: The Rhine Gold, The Valkyrie, Siegfried and The Twilight of the Gods. These four operas are based on stories in the Nibelungenlied, an epic poem in Middle High German drawn from ancient Germanic heroic motifs. The Nibelung of the title is the dwarf Alberich, and the ring in question is the one he forged from the Rhine Gold, a hoard held in trust by the Rhine Maidens. The storyline is centred on the fate that the ring-which possesses magical powers-has over its owners' destinies. The ring is stolen from Alberich by the chief of the gods, Wotan, with the assistance of the god Loge, but Wotan is in turn forced to hand it over to the giants Fafner and Fasolt as payment for the building of Valhalla. It is Wotan's scheming and efforts to regain the ring which make up much of the rest of the storyline. His grandson, the mortal Siegfried, eventually takes the ring after killing Fafner (who first killed Fasolt for possession of the ring), but the hero Siegfried is himself killed as a result of treachery by Alberich's son Hagen. In the dramatic final opera, the Valkyrie Brünnhilde, who is also Siegfried's lover and Wotan's daughter, returns the ring to the Rhine maidens as she commits suicide on Siegfried's funeral pyre-and Hagen is drowned in an attempt to recover the ring. At the same time, the gods and Valhalla are destroyed in a mighty final scene, the Götterdämmerung. Highly recommended for anyone wishing to gain a primary understanding of the storyline and meaning of the various operas of the Ring, and perfect as an introduction to the Wagnerian culture. About the author: J. Cuthbert Hadden (1861-1914) was a Scottish author, journalist, biographer and musician of note.
