Wagner Leitmotifs | 33 Erda : Der Ring Des Nibelungen @wagnerleitmotifs7654 | Uploaded August 2013 | Updated October 2024, 13 hours ago.
This leitmotif is first heard in the forth scene of Das Rheingold.
This motif is a minor version of that first Nature motif heard at the beginning of the cycle. It represents Erda (German for Earth), a primordial immortal (similar to Gaia the Titan from Greek mythology). Erda appears to the gods as a strange apparition with the ability to fortell the future as she is the wisest of all beings.
