Richard Wagner- Ride of the Valkyries by Nicholas Dixon (Music & Audio) in Classical
"Ride of the Valkyries" (German: Walkürenritt) is probably the best known piece by Richard Wagner after the Bridal Chorus.
It stands out in part because of its references in popular culture, where it is used to represent stereotypical Grand Opera; as well as being the only ensemble piece in the first three operas of Wagner's Ring cycle.

The helicopters come into view from the dawning sea; millions of sprinkle reflect from the water, we hear the helicopter's engines roar from the horizon and soon enough we are stuck in a messy attack.
Throughout the sequence we hear Wagner's 'Ride Of The Valkyries'.
The starting sequence is as fascinating as the rest of the movie; a beautiful scene of palm trees blowing in the ragged wind and seconds away from being inflamed with a carpet bombing.

  Ride of the Valkyries Summary
"The Ride of the Valkyries" (German: Walkürenritt) is the popular term for the beginning of Act III of Die Walküre by Richard Wagner.
In the opera-house, the Ride begins in the prelude to the Act, building up successive layers of accompaniment until the curtain rises to reveal a mountain peak where four of the eight Valkyrie sisters of Brünnhilde have gathered in preparation for the transportation of fallen heroes to Valhalla.
The music is an iconic opera stereotype: the principal Valkyrie Brünnhilde (who, actually, does not figure in the Ride) in breastplate and horned helmet, clutching a spear and shield, and crying out "HO JO TO HO!".

 The Valkyrie - Mythical Creature, Valkyries Mythology, Norse Myth - valkrie valkry
Valkyries were originally sinister spirits of slaughter, dark angels of death who soared over the battlefields like birds of pray, meting out fate in the name of Odin.
In later Norse myth, the Valkyries were romanticized as Odin's Shield-Maidens, virgins with golden hair and snowy arms who served the chosen heroes everlasting mead and meat in the great hall of Valhalla.
Idealized Valkyries were definitely more vulnerable than their more fierce predecessors, and often fell in love with mortal heroes.

Valkyries, who fly through the air transporting fallen warriors?), but the music humanizes it.
Leitmotifs are basically theme songs, associated with various characters, things, or themes, and serve, in this case, to make the Cycle a coherent whole.
(“Ride of the Valkyries” is probably the most famous; Elmer Fudd sings “Kill the wabbit” to its tune.) Even Valhalla has a leitmotif, which Seattlest was able to pick out (making us feel our BA in music is coming to some good).

 Ride Of The Valkyries Sheet Music
According to Germanic legend the “Valkyries” are female warriors who in Wotan´s name escort fallen heroes to “Walhall” in order to defend the fortress-castle should Alberich regain the “Ring” and start an attack with the Nibelungs.
At the beginning of the above mentioned third act the audience, that has just returned from a break, is overwhelmed by the music and the vision of the belligerent “Valkyries” and their chosen heroes riding across the heavens mounted on their steeds and then gathering on the Valkyrie rock.
The music to “Ride of the Valkyries” has been used to great effect in a variety of films, ranging from the helicopter scene in “Apocalypse Now”; to “What´s opera, Doc?”, where it is lampooned and “Repo Man”, where Duke and his gang hum the tune, presumably to increase their self-confidence before committing a robbery.

He told us how he had been doing this ride every year for a long time, that he was headed for a sort of rally, a gathering really, which was not generally known to the public.
The name Valkyrie means "choosers of slain warriors" in the old Norse language, and their role is to patrol the battlefield and select the bravest of the brave.
The ride became increasingly more arid as we continued east, gained altitude and entered the high desert on the eastern side of the Cascade Range.

 Valkyries
This belief made it very important for the Norseman not to "die in bed" as this meant his spirit would  dwell in the shadowy realm of Hel.  Only death in battle could gain him entry into Valhalla.
The Valkyries also act as messengers for Odin, their symbol is the raven.
while we tend to think of Valkyries as "Warrior Maidens" and Brunhilde, the Valkyrie in "The Song of the Nibelungen" does swing a mean sword, the Valkyries of the Eddas  never actually use (or even carry) weapons.

The race flyer started with the line "The Ride of the Valkyries promises to be the highlight of the Northern Colorado calendar with one of the toughest and most enjoyable courses on the circuit." That was a pretty strong statement, but it proved to be correct, for the most part.
The "beautiful 12 mile climb" from 6700 ft tot he summit of Buffalo Pass in the thin air of 10,450 ft (3750 ft of vertical) was so head spinning that I had very little time to check out the views.
I had a bit of a cold, so it made it even tougher – still, I rank it as one of the hardest races I’ve ever done.
