Prelude
What Light Shines Down There?
Wotan Made Holy Laws And Treaties
That Mighty Hall The Giants Have Raised
Now The Gods Will Seize The Spear
Dawn Music / To Deeds Of Glory
Ah, But To Prove You Love Me
Love, I Leave You Alone
So By Your Daring I Am Fired
O Heavenly Rulers!
Siegfried's Rhine Journey
Scene 1
Now Hear, Hagen
What Woman Should I Wed
At Neidhöle The Niblung Gold Was Guarded
You Mock Me, Cruel Hagen!
Merrily Seeking Adventure And Fame
Scene 2
Which Is Gibich's Son?
I Welcome You My Friend
That Treasure I Quite Forgot
Welcome, O Guest, To Gibich House!
With Your Brother I Promised To Serve
I Fear Not The Flames
Flourishing Life's Refreshing Blood
Now On Your Way!
I Sit Here And Wait [Hagen's Watch]
Scene 3
Sounds I Once Knew So Well
You've Come To Me
Fear And Dread I Read In Your Features!
Hear Me With Care
He Sits There, Speaks No Word
These Tales Of Evil Fancies
Upon Your Hand, The Ring
Go Home To The Sacred Clan Of The Gods!
Borne On The Wind
Brünnhilde! Your Husband Comes
The Night Draws On
Now Nothing Can Save Me
Scene 1
Prelude
Sleep You, Hagen, My Son?
The Might Of The Gods
That Ring Shall Be Hagen's
Scene 2
Hoiho! Hagen! Fast Asleep?
Yet My Siegfried Was With Brünnhild?
I Can See A Sail In The Distance
Scene 3
Hoiho! Hoihohoho! (Hagen Summons The Vassals)
Come To My Call, And Arm Yourselves
Glad Times Have Come
Scene 4
Welcome, Gunther!
I Greet You, Noble Friend
A Ring I Saw Upon Your Hand
Ha! Siegfried Stole It
Hear In Walhall, Mighty Immortals!
Would You Defile Your Fame So Lightly?
Shining Steel! Holiest Weapon!
Gunther, Look To Your Wife There
Scene 5
Dark, Unholy Powers
Have Trust In Me
Can No Weapon's Point Then Pierce Him?
Deceived Am I - And Deceiver!
He Betrayed You
Since This Blow Must Be Dealt Her
Prelude
Scene 1
Fair Sunlight, Shine On Us In Splendour
Fair Sunlight, Send To Us The Hero
A Goblin Led Me Astray
Siegfried, If We Find Your Bear
Why Should I Let Them Laugh And Jeer?
Siegfried! ... Evil Lies In That Ring
Siegfried! ... Give Heed To Our Words
Come, Sisters! Flee From This Madman!
Scene 2
Hoiho!
You Drove The Game Away From Us
Drink, Gunther, Drink
Mime Was A Hideous Dwarf
Now You Must Hear What Happened Next
Ring And Tarnhelm - Both I Had Found
In Grief I Watched The Branches Above
Brünnhilde! Holiest Bride!
Siegfried's Funeral March
Scene 3
Was That His Horn?
Ah, If Siegfried Were Back!
Cast Not The Blame On Me
Peace With Your Cries
Poor Creature, Peace!
Sturdy Branches, Building His Pyre (Brünnhilde's Immolation)
The Sun In Radiance Shines From His Eyes
O You, You Guardians
My Heritage I Claim From The Hero
Fly Home, You Ravens
Grane, My Horse!
Give Back The Ring!
