This is music from some of the biggest battles of all. | 0:00:06 | 0:00:10 | |
METALLIC TINKLE | 0:00:14 | 0:00:15 | |
Battles like hope versus despair, good versus evil... | 0:00:17 | 0:00:21 | |
Life versus death. | 0:00:23 | 0:00:25 | |

And when Death's around, his cavalry are never far behind. | 0:00:33 | 0:00:37 | |
Norse legend tells of warrior women | 0:00:42 | 0:00:45 | |
who searched the battleground for heroic soldiers. | 0:00:45 | 0:00:47 | |
The souls they want, they take away to guard Valhalla, | 0:00:51 | 0:00:55 | |
home of the gods. | 0:00:55 | 0:00:57 | |
These are grim reapers on horseback. | 0:01:09 | 0:01:13 | |
They have a name... | 0:01:13 | 0:01:15 | |
..Valkyries! | 0:01:17 | 0:01:18 | |
This is the sound of the Valkyries, a musical stampede | 0:01:23 | 0:01:26 | |
full of flying, galloping rhythms and a run-for-your-life fanfare. | 0:01:26 | 0:01:31 | |
And the Valkyries' main theme, or leitmotif, is just one of the | 0:01:31 | 0:01:35 | |
ingredients in a musical blockbuster by German composer Richard Wagner. | 0:01:35 | 0:01:40 | |
For his story, Wagner raided all his favourite folklore | 0:01:41 | 0:01:45 | |
and assembled a cast of gods, goddesses, dwarfs... | 0:01:45 | 0:01:50 | |
and dragon-slayers. | 0:01:50 | 0:01:51 | |
All of them caught up in a battle to possess a ring, | 0:01:52 | 0:01:57 | |
a ring that has power over all of mankind. | 0:01:57 | 0:02:00 | |
I think it might be time to pass this on. | 0:02:08 | 0:02:11 | |
