| | Richard Wagner - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Wagner's musical style is often considered the epitome of classical music's Romantic period, due to its unprecedented exploration of emotional expression. | | | The premiere of the new Tannhäuser in 1861 was an utter fiasco, due to disturbances caused by aristocrats from the Jockey Club. | | | Wagner's chromatic musical language prefigured later developments in European classical music, including extreme chromaticism and atonality. |

| | Tubas |
| | Tubas are more numerous in bands than in orchestras; you may want to search for music for brass band, military band, marching band, or even wind ensembles. | | | The function of the tuba most of the time is to play bass lines in full-orchestra or full-brass sections of the music, so it can be difficult to distinguish the tuba as a separate instrument, and orchestral music before the late 1800's does not have tubas at all. | | | The tuba is the largest, lowest-sounding instrument in the brass section of the Western orchestra. |

| | BBC - h2g2 - Richard Wagner - Composer |
| | Wagner wouldn't allow any of this; he considered the music to be sacred and the opera house a temple of music. | | | Wagner had an enormous influence on all music. | | | Richard Wagner was a musician who wrote music which is better than it sounds. |

| | Deutsches Museum - Music |
| | Tubas are used in symphony orchestras and brass bands. | | | Of course, there have been attempts to drop the slide and incorporate several valves into the trombone similarly to trumpets, but these valved trombones are only used for military music and occasionally in orchestras playing opera music, by Verdi, for example. | | | The sound of the lurs, always blown in pairs, is extraordinarily rich, register and tone corresponding somewhat to a valveless French horn of the very best quality. |

| | Star Wars and Wagner's Ring |
| | Wagner was not the originator of the idea and use of leitmotifs, but he was the composer who perfected the compositional technique of making the leitmotifs the basis of a large, musical structure. | | | In Wagner, the easily recognizable musical leitmotif is not only a structural building block, it is equally important as a musical symbol for something non-musical. | | | Not so in Wagner, where the orchestra has no secondary role, but partakes in the musical totality, even the dramatic totality as complete equal to what is seen and heard from the stage. |

| | Wagner’s music captured Germany’s imagination in the 19th century, much as Britten’s would England’s in the 20th. | | | In this “Immolation Scene,” we hear a compendium of motifs from throughout the cycle, as the drama culminates in the return of the ring to the Rhine Maidens, which breaks the curse. | | | From the darkest depths of the river, Wagner takes the listener to just below the surface, where the Rhine Maidens circle the gleaming, enchanted gold. |

| | Romantic Music - Part Three |
| | Wagner was seeking to resolve one of the basic problems of all Romantic composers andendash; to find a large-scale musical structure to replace the forms of the Classical era. | | | He was noteworthy as well in that he was known as a conductor of music of other composers, specifically the music of Beethoven. | | | Wagner was, indeed, the most idealistic and most pretentious composer of all time. |

| | A First-Timer's Guide to Wagner's Ring |
| | Passages from Wagner are still excerpted and turned into concert pieces, but it's harder; unless the passage comes at the very end of an act, it is often necessary to alter the ending so as to provide a proper cadence. | | | Since the Rhinegold is the ultimate source of the whole story, Wagner uses a "fundamental" motive--a simple major chord played as a melody. | | | When you listen to Wagner, don't make the mistake of paying attention only to the singing. |
