Parsifal

Motif 37: Innocence


Soundbytes Innocence (Wolfgang Windgassen; ogg format)
Musical example: Motif 37 - Innocence

This derivative of the Faith motif is heard in the third act. It first appears at the end of Gurnemanz's explanation of Good Friday's magic, as Kundry raises her eyes to look at Parsifal; and again as he kisses her gently on the forehead.
