Musical Journey Through Richard Wagner’s Ride of the Valkyries: A Night of Evocative Imagery and Dramatic Narratives

Good evening, music listeners. I’m John Bellushi, and tonight I’m listening to great music. We are going to hear a rare recording of Richard Wagner’s Ride of the Valkyries from Dee Valkyrie, one of my favorites. Written in 1855, its familiar theme is charged with fiery passion and textured with a full orchestra completing the original melody in powerful and forceful brilliance. Bob Newhart often writes music which seems to evoke a sort of suggestiveness of. Of place of things. So as I play the record, you try to imagine for yourself the images which appear before for your brain from the music. Okay? Just imagine waves, waves, waves. A lot of people. Mountains. Snow. Landscapes. Horse sky. A field. A small town. A big show with a lot of horses. A lot of people going to the show. Some are trying to get in. Some are trying to get in free, huh? But they can’t. Some people can’t get in free because they know the people who are in the show. Oh, they’re all watching the big show. There are a lot of people. Everybody’s having a good time. And then. And then there’s rainbows. Ah, rainbows. Waterfalls. Oh. There are two people who meet and fall in love, and they immediately, they fly to Hawaii. Like the. Why? Oh, they want to get married, but, oh, they can’t. They can’t because the father doesn’t approve of your marriage. And finally, the guy. The guy gets the father to Let his. Let him marry his daughter. So suddenly, suddenly there’s a war. wait, wait. Ah, it’s a war. Everybody’s gonna go to Russia and fight the enemy. Ah, there’s all kinds of bombers there. Ah, look up, look up! Jet planes and rockets. Jet planes, rockets! I hear the conscripts are coming. The conscripts are coming in the house! My god, they got Turbin! They got Turbin! Madden بعدين
