	Sigurd - LoveToKnow 1911
		SIGURD (S'igurar) or Siegfried (M. Sifrit), the hero of the Nibelungenlied, and of a number of Scandinavian poems included in the older Edda, as well as of the prose V iilsunga Saga, which is based upon the latter.
		Sigurd acquired great fame and riches by slaying the dragon Fafnir, but the chief interest of the story centres round his connexion with the court of the Burgundian king Gunnar (Gunther).
		Sigurd himself is not mentioned by any contemporary writer; but, apart from the dragon incident, there is nothing in the story which affords sufficient justification for regarding his personality as mythical.

	§5. "Sigurd the Volsung". V. The Rossettis, William Morris, Swinburne, and Others. Vol. 13. The Victorian Age, ...
		Morris, however, so managed the transition from the overture to the actual drama that the interest is not suspended or noticeably broken, and, before our concentration upon the fate of Sigmund is wholly diverted, we are carried away upon the tide of Sigurd’s heroic youth.
		The episodes follow one another with unfailing vigour and freshness, and, in the climax of the story, the slaying of the Niblung kings, the slayers of Sigurd, in the hall of Atli, the death-song of Gunnar among the serpents and the vengeance and death of Gudrun, Morris pursued his theme triumphantly to the end.
		If the chosen form of Sigurd the Volsung did not wholly fulfil its promise when it came to cope with the Homeric hexameter, it was at least thoroughly adequate to an occasion when Morris was free to deal with his story untrammelled by the exigencies of translation.

		SIGURD M. February 25th 2001 saw the end of an historical epoch in saxophone history, with the death of Sigurd Manfred Rascher at age 94.
		Sigurd M. Rascher was a "classical saxophonist" who refused to accept anything less than excellence in his playing, and teaching.
		For me Sigurd Raschèr was the finest example of an 'encourager.' As years passed with opportunities to benefit from his mind and spirit, I was able to play with much more energy, musical balance, and care, inspired by his mere presence in the room.
