Robert F. Smith Posted October 3, 2018 Posted October 3, 2018 The Medieval German song reminds me of the time when the Norse gods were finally abandoned, their glory and final end celebrated in Wagner's Ring of the Nibelungs. Following the vengeance of Brunhilde (Kristanna Loken pictured below), we have the funeral march for her true love Siegfried, in which she kills herself on his funeral pyre: Then comes the true Twilight of the Norse Gods (Götterdämmerung/Ragnarök), as only Wagner could do it: 3
