Marketing CopyThe fourth and final opera of Richard Wagner's (1813-1883) DER RING DES NIBELUNGEN (THE RING OF THE NIBELUNG, or THE RING CYCLE for short), the three-act drama GÖTTERDÄMMERUNG (TWILIGHT OF THE GODS) premiered at the Bayreuth Festival on August 17th, 1876 with Hans Richter conducting the first performance of the entire cycle.

A solemn march (Trauermarsch), weaving the Siegfried motif into its strains, follows his funeral journey back to the Gibichung hall. The concert arrangement by Ludwig Stassny is here presented in this Kalmus edition. Instrumentation: 2 (2nd d.Picc).2.2.2: 4.2.3.1: Timp: Perc(3): Hp: Str (9.8.7.6.5 in set).
