Ride of the Valkyries
The "Ride of the Valkyries" () is the popular term for the beginning of act 3 of ''Die Walküre'', the second of the four operas by Richard Wagner that constitute ''Der Ring des Nibelungen''.
As a separate piece, the "Ride" is often heard in a purely instrumental version, which may be as short as three minutes. Together with the "Bridal Chorus" from ''Lohengrin'', the ''Ride of the Valkyries'' is one of Wagner's best-known pieces.
== Context ==
In the ''Walküre'' opera, the "Ride", which takes around eight minutes, begins in the prelude to the third 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. As they are joined by the other four, the familiar tune is carried by the orchestra, while, above it, the Valkyries greet each other and sing their battle-cry. Apart from the song of the Rhinemaidens in ''Das Rheingold'', it is the only ensemble piece in the first three operas of Wagner's ''Ring'' cycle.
