One cannot become a person on one‘s own in other words, and although it sometimes seems like a lonely process, one cannot write a dissertation by oneself either. There are so many people who made so many things possible for me to whom I wish to express my gratitude, and since I‘m not planning on writing another dissertation in the near future, I‘m going to do so now. I want to thank all my professors in Dublin, Honolulu, and Austin. When I was an undergraduate in Ireland, it was a passing remark by William Lyons that first got me interested in Nietzsche. During my time in Hawaii, Arindam Chakrabarti, Graham Parkes, and Roger Ames were particularly helpful.

  • What Price Love.Pdf
    Ring 2018 articles V2.qxp_RING 2018 5/19/18 4:20 PM Page 1 B Y P E T E R B A S S E T T WHAT ichard Wagner’s Der Ring des Nibelungen is rarely described as an extended love story, but that is what it is. The changing relationships throughout the four oRperas tend to obscure this central idea but, when you think about PRICE it, love is the thread that binds the whole story together—not love confined to a single pair of individuals but love as the alternative to hatred and revenge, power and property, greed and envy. The story begins with love’s renunciation and ends with its triumph as LOVE? the one irreplaceable, transforming ingredient in a new world order. That surely is the significance of the soaring orchestral melody that concludes Götterdämmerung. It is difficult to separate the allegory of the Ring from events in A century before post-Napoleonic europe when rival forces were attempting, on the one hand, to restore reactionary systems of government (think George Orwell’s 1984, of them as the gods) and, on the other hand, to establish new sys- tems of capital ushered in by the Industrial Revolution (think of alberich and his ilk). The result was a chain of political uprisings the Ring warned of throughout europe in the 1830s and ’40s—and incredible intellec- tual and creative ferment. Goethe and Beethoven were alive when the rise of totalitarianism Wagner was a teenager, Charles Darwin was four years his senior, and Karl Marx was five years his junior.

The question, however, remains as to what extent this report- ed scepticism truly reflects people’s opinions and feelings about Europe. We all consider it normal to cross borders within Europe, often while using the same money, as well as to take part in exchange programmes, invest in enterprises across Europe and appeal to European institutions if national regulations, for example, do not meet our expectations.

Often depicted in history books as the age of the Lied, the early nineteenth century was also the age of the Chorgesang, creating a demand for music for social gatherings. Amateur choruses and partsinging reached their peak of popularity in nineteenth-century Germany.

  • Richard Wagner's Prose Sketches for Jesus of Nazareth
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Repository@Nottingham 1 Richard Wagner’s Prose Sketches for Jesus of Nazareth: Historical and Theological Reflections on an Uncompleted Opera Richard H. Bell Department of Theology and Religious Studies, University of Nottingham, Nottingham, UK [email protected] Abstract In May 1849 Wagner fled Dresden after the failure of the uprising of which he was a leader. His last creative work in Dresden was prose sketches for an opera Jesus of Nazareth, the result of his study of the Graeco-Roman world and the New Testament together with some knowledge of biblical criticism. Although he portrays Jesus as a social revolutionary in that he attacks the Pharisees, oppression and injustice, he is by no means a political messiah; indeed Wagner emphases his sacrificial death which results in the giving of the Holy Spirit. Key theological themes of the work which I explore include Jesus’ messiahship, law and freedom, and the significance of his death. Keywords christology; freedom; law; redemption; Richard Wagner; sacrifice. Introduction Richard Wagner was one of the leaders of the May 1849 uprising in Dresden, the capital city of Saxony. When the troops were sent in to quash the revolt, Wagner fled the city on the night of 9/10 May 1849 and by a very fortunate series of events evaded arrest and what could have been a very long imprisonment or even execution.1 He fled to Switzerland where he was, for the most part, to spend his years of exile.

    Synopsis Act I Near the sanctuary of the Holy Grail, the old knight Gurnemanz and two sentries wake and perform their morning prayers, while other knights prepare a bath for their ailing ruler Amfortas, who suffers from an incurable wound. Suddenly, Kundry—a mysterious, ageless woman who serves as the Grail’s messenger— appears. She has brought medicine for Amfortas. The knights carry in the king. He reflect on a prophecy that speaks of his salvation by a “pure fool, enlightened by compassion,” then is borne off. When the sentries ask about Klingsor, a sorcerer who is trying to destroy the knights of the Grail, Gurnemanz tells the story of Amfortas’s wound: The Holy Grail—the cup from which Christ drank at the Last Supper—and the Spear that pierced his body on the cross were given into the care of Titurel, Amfortas’s father, who assembled a company of knights to guard the relics. Klingsor, wishing to join the brotherhood, tried to overcome his sinful thoughts by castrating himself, but the brotherhood rejected him. Seeking vengeance, he built a castle across the mountains with a magic garden full of alluring maidens to entrap the knights. Amfortas set out to defeat Klingsor, but a terribly beautiful woman seduced him. Klingsor stole the Holy Spear from Amfortas and used it to stab him. The wound can only be healed by the innocent youth of which the prophecy has spoken. Suddenly, a swan plunges to the ground, struck dead by an arrow. The knights drag in a young man, who boasts of his archery skills.
