MUS 2273 Wagner’s Ring of the Nibelung
(3 hours) Block I
Der Ring des Nibelungen, (German: “The Ring of the Nibelung”) are four music dramas by German composer Richard Wagner: Das Rheingold (“The Rhine Gold”), Die Walküre (“The Valkyrie”), Siegfried, and Götterdämmerung (“The Twilight of the Gods”). Wagner had long been interested in Norse and German heroic poetry, including the medieval German epic Nibelungenlied (“Song of the Nibelung”), and used them to write his own libretti to set to music. In this class we will study Wagner’s Ring of the Nibelung, together with his literary sources.
