Forest Murmurs (Siegfried)...Wagner

'Forest Murmurs' is heard in the second act of Siegfried. Siegfried lies musing under a tree in the dense forest. He is lost in contemplation, while around him the trees mysteriously and gently rustle. A bird's song suddenly claims his attention. He listens and tries to imitate its tune, first on a reed and then on his own horn. The bird then tells him about the Ring in the possession of Fafner which will give him command of the world. The bird warns him of Mime's plot against his life and describes a fire-girt rock where the sleeping Brunnhilde awaits him.
