Orchestral Musicians
Ride of the Valkyries by Richard Wagner
Ride of the Valkyries comes at the beginning of Act 2 of Die
Walküre, the second of the four operas that make up Der Ring
des Nibelungen or The Ring Cycle. The whole thing took 27
years to compose and takes over 15 hours to perform. If you
want to settle in and listen to the whole thing, make sure
you've got plenty of snacks and drinks!
