The Nibelungenlied

The initial purpose of Nibelungenlied's article is to include the influence of most myths on art. For the first time in a while I have noticed that it is very dangerous to approach the length of the book in order to cover such a vast area. Then I decided to limit the theme to the myths and the impact that it has on music, especially classical music. Again, this is a huge field that limits short research papers. After careful consideration, I decided to focus on the music of Richard Wagner (1813 - 1883), mainly on his "Der Ring des Nibelungen" or Nibelung ring.

Nibelungenlied is a medieval German epic written in middle and high German in the early 13 th century. That author is unknown. This poem mixes the myths of Scandinavia and Germany, including the early history of the Kingdom of Burgundy. There are several versions of the same story, the details are shadows but the final result is the same. Wagner used most of the major works of Nibelungenlied (Nibelung's song) and Vollsunga Saga (Sols of Volsungs).

Beyond political boundaries, people over generations often share epics. Examples of such epic include Germanic Nibelungen, Ilyads of the Ancient Greeks and Hellenistic society, Syrupady column of Tamils, Ramayana and Mahabharata of Hindus, Gilgamesh of Summer civilization, and fertile people included. New Moon, Arabian Night (Arab Night), Mande's Sundera Epic

The secular literature of this age did not occur as much as religious literature. The earliest stories are based on oral traditions: Y Goddoddin and Preiddeu Annwfn in the UK, and Beowulf and Nibelungenlied in German. They include myths or events of a certain sixth century, but the surviving manuscripts can be traced back from C Beowulf to the last half of the 13th century to Y Goddoddin, from early 14th century to Preiddu Annwfn. Nibelungenll was born in 1000, and the 13th century. Manufacturers and performers are elite experts attached to bards (British / Welsh) and scops (Germans), royal or aristocratic courts to admit legendary heroes

Many sentences remained in the MHG era. It is worth noting that there are many impressive secular works such as Siegfried (around the 13th century BC), Hartmann von Aue's writings, epic depicting the dragon slayer named Nibelungenlied in this repertoire. King Arthur's poem Iwein (Iwein). C.1203), there are some lyrics like Parzival and Tristan and a courtly-like romantic story. (Also worth noting is Sachsenspiegel, the first law written in moderately low German (about 1220)). The abundance of literature in the MHG era, especially secularity, shows the beginning of German standardized writing and the individual's desire to understand poets and writers in super linguistic terms.
