Wagner Leitmotifs | 40 Curse : Tannhäuser @wagnerleitmotifs7654 | Uploaded July 2014 | Updated October 2024, 7 hours ago.
This leitmotif is first heard in act 3 scene 3.
This motif represents the terrible cloud under which Tannhäuser has returned from his pilgrimage to Rome, after the pontiff refused to pardon him, but cursed him to eternal damnation.
This combination of sustained buzzing brass and a swift rising chromatic figure was later appropriated by Wagner for the ring cycle to represent Alberich's hatred.
