Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Wagner's Der Ring Des Nibelungen It was in the eventful year 1848 that Wagner finished the instrumentation of Lohengrin, The political troubles between Germany and Saxony were affecting things in general; and Wagner, it will be remembered, was drawn into the vortex. But to his active mind, such things were mere side issues; and he was searching for a new subject on which to work out his scheme for the Lyric Drama. That something vast in idea and scope was alone likely to be chosen, appears from the themes which he took up, examined and discarded.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wagner's Der Ring des Nibelungen is one of the most influential theatrical works ever written. It is a powerful music-drama on a grand scale, a full appreciation of which depends on an understanding of exactly what is being sung. Wagner's German was deliberately archaic and romantic; until recently, there has been no singing translation which transmits with genuine feeling the complex and literate text, matching the stress and inflection in the score. This translation, commissioned by the English National Opera Company for their highly successful production of The Ring in English, is the work of Andrew Porter, music critic of The New Yorker. The edition includes a German text and Mr. Porter has provided an essay dealing with the problems of translating the work. Book jacket.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A superb new translation of one of the greatest nineteenth century poems: the libretto to Wagner's Ring cycle The scale and grandeur of Wagner's The Ring of the Nibelung has no precedent and no successor. It preoccupied Wagner for much of his adult life and revolutionized the nature of opera, the orchestra, the demands on singers and on the audience itself. The four operas-The Rhinegold, The Valkyrie, Siegfried and Twilight of the Gods - are complete worlds, conjuring up extraordinary mythological landscapes through sound as much as staging. Wagner wrote the entire libretto before embarking on the music. Discarding the grand choruses and bravura duets central to most operas, he used the largest musical forces in the context often of only a handful of singers on stage. The words were essential: he was telling a story and making an argument in a way that required absolute attention to what was said. The libretto for The Ring lies at the heart of nineteenth century culture. It is in itself a work of power and grandeur and it had an incalculable effect on European and specifically German culture. John Deathridge's superb new translation, with notes and a fascinating introduction, is essential for anyone who wishes to get to grips with one of the great musical experiences.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Nibelung's Ring: English Words to Richard Wagner's Ring Des Nibelungen, in the Alliterative Verse of the Original ("Die Liebe lockte den Lenz.") Winter has waned upon his stormy wing - the woods are wild with flowers - before my eyes Spring on the world lies like a lover lies - the birds have bursts of song for everything - it seems as if the ceaseless blossoming, the splendour and the spell can never tire - for if night comes the moon is like a fire - and yet my sadness will not let me sing. Mine is the single sorrow - how shall I bring to my heart the heart I long to bring? - My heart so bleeds at my own bitter cry I taste its blood - as Siegfried, for the ring, did Fafner's, and a bird, as it goes by, laughs "Love's enough - 'twas Love that lured the Spring!"

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Wagner's Ring of the Nibelung, and the Conditions of Ideal Manhood Agner's Ring of the Nz'belung has not yet got beyond the bounds of ignorant, irrelevant criticism. Even from some of the undoubted adherents to the Wagner cause, a sop is thrown to the watchdog of conventional morality when defending the Ring from critics with nothing to lose, no cause to uphold, no genius round whom to gather. It is useless to discuss seriously the import of Wagner's drama with these critics. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Guide to the Ring of the Nibelung: The Trilogy of Richard Wagner Its Origin, Story, and Music To endeavor to say much that is new or original about "The Ring of the Nibelung" would be a rash undertaking at this day. This little book is not such an undertaking. Its presentation of the origin, source, and musical structure of Wagner's great trilogy is founded largely upon the labors of others. The author acknowledges a deep indebtedness to Hans von Wolzogen's thematic analysis, to Mr. Henderson's and Mr. Finck's biographies of the master, to Miss Weston's discussion of the legends, to Mr. Krehbiel's "Studies," and to other works in less degree.

This book was released on 2018-02-02 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Language of Richard Wagner's Ring Des Nibelungen Several years before his demise came the noted reform by Gluck. There is no evidence that Gluck wrote a single German Opera, but this was chiefly the fault of existing conditions. What could a man of his stamp do with such libretti as those that have just been referred to? He held the stringent views upon the relation of text and music which the Florentine Camar ata had promulgated before him, hence it was natural that he should look about for the very best texts. Of these he found none worthy of consideration at the beginning of his career, and in later life, in a foreign country and engaged with foreign pro ductions, he felt the impossibility of writing a German opera. Though be seriously thought of putting Klopstock's Hermans schlacht to music, he was never fortunate enough to have a close acquaintance with the great literary men Of his time and country, though these were in sympathy with his reform. Wie land1 writes: At last we have lived to see the time when the mighty genius of Gluck has undertaken the great task of musical reform. The success of his 'orpheus' would justify the greatest hopes were there no insurmountable difficulties to defeat his best intentions even in those European cities where the fine arts own the foremost temples. It is a great and courageous undertaking to elevate these arts to their original dignity and honor, which the rabble is wont to look upon as a means for sensuality, and to establish nature upon that throne which for so long a time has been usurped by the capricious power of custom, luxury and wanton sensuality.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Guide to the Music of Richard Wagner's Tetralogy: The Ring of the Nibelung; A Thematic Key Most significant in relation to this whole is the very first scene in The Rhine-gold, which takes place in the pure primordial element, water, whence, according to the mythical representation, all existence must arise, and which consequently precedes all differentiation, all individual dispersal of the unified primitive existence according to the law of phenomena, as well as all rivalry between individuals and all guilt. Before any kind of distinctly individual form appears before our eyes, be fore the spiritual utterance of a single human word has as yet been heard, by means of the instrumental intro duction, the absolute art of music gives to this merely elementary Being, this sacredly serene and innocent state of Nature, wherein as yet all desire is latent, a pre-eminently adequate expression.

This book was released on 2017-12-03 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Richard Wagner's Poem the Ring of the Nibelung Before entering upon the study of Wagner's poem, it is necessary to give some attention to those versions of the Nibelung story which form the source of the poet's inspiration. In this connection the author is obliged to refer to one of his former works, entitled The Great Epics of Mediaeval Germany, in which the object was to present an historical and critical account of those poems, and an essay on Wagner's drama was then foreign to the purpose. Yet as the Nibelungen Lied, the greatest of medieval German poems, was one of the important works considered in that volume, special attention was bestowed on the elucidation of the whole Nibelung story. From the nature of the subject, it will be impossible to avoid here a repetition of a few statements made in the Great Epics, particularly as to the early N ibelung traditions, since they throw light on Wagner's great drama. On the other hand, some of the ancient sagas which have no immediate bearing on the Nibelungen Lied, and were therefore omitted in the Great Epics, will be here given because they play a prominent part in Wagner's treatment of the subject.

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.
