Parsifal

Motif 18: Desire for Redemption


Musical example: Motif 18a - Desire for Redemption  

This motif is a distant relative of the theme of Redemption (#1A) and that of the Holy Grail (#2). It first appears accompanying Kundry's Gelobter Held! and continues through the section beginning Grausamer!, where Kundry begs to be the object of Parsifal's compassion.

Musical example: Motif 18b - Desire for Redemption
