Wagner Leitmotifs | 34 Atonement : Tannhäuser @wagnerleitmotifs7654 | Uploaded July 2014 | Updated October 2024, 10 hours ago.
This leitmotif is first heard in act 2 scene 4.
This motif is sung as that which Tannhäuser needs to do to atone for his sins is recited. As with much of Tannhäuser, this takes on the air of a hymn, especially in these sections where Wagner has many characters singing at once, in unison or harmony. They are telling Tannhäuser that he must go on a pilgrimage to the city of grace and mercy (Rome).
