The musical leitmotif, having reached a point of particular
forcefulness in the music of Richard Wagner, has remained a popular
compositional device up to the present day. In this book, Matthew
Bribitzer-Stull explores the background and development of the
leitmotif, from Wagner to the Hollywood adaptations of The Lord of
The Rings and the Harry Potter series. Analyzing both concert music
and film music, Bribitzer-Stull explains what the leitmotif is and
establishes it as the union of two aspects: the thematic and the
associative. He goes on to show that Wagner's Ring cycle provides a
leitmotivic paradigm, a model from which we can learn to better
understand the leitmotif across style periods. Arguing for a
renewed interest in the artistic merit of the leitmotif,
Bribitzer-Stull reveals how uniting meaning, memory, and emotion in
music can lead to a richer listening experience and a better
understanding of dramatic music's enduring appeal.
