Wagner Leitmotifs | 90 Bequest : Der Ring Des Nibelungen @wagnerleitmotifs7654 | Uploaded September 2013 | Updated October 2024, 10 hours ago.
This leitmotif is first heard in act 3 scene 1 of Siegfried.
It is first heard as Wotan tells Erda that he is finally resigned to relinquish the power of the gods and pass the world to the Walsungs. Whenever it is heard later it is associated with Siegfried and Brunnhilde, for they have inherited the world, and it becomes something of a symbol of their unity and love.
It is an inversion of the Spear motif as it represents the giving-up of the god's power.
