Orchestral Symbolism In Wagner's "Das Rheingold" uncovers a new
layer of meaning concealed in the orchestration of Wagner's Ring.
While leitmotives have helped stage directors, conductors, and
audiences appreciate the work on a deeper level, they are no longer
the final word. Richter presents considerable evidence that Wagner
used orchestral scorings to represent another symbolic subtext, one
that has been hidden for over a century. First published in 1980,
Martin S. Richter's newly-revised edition includes evidence from
prominent leitmotives, analyses of instrumental and vocal sections,
symbolic references, and discusses the implications of orchestral
symbolism to craft a more sensitive and nuanced production of Das
Rheingold.
