THE war-maidens, the Valkyries, arc riding through the air, and carrying with them the bodies of heroes slain in battle, whom they arc bearing to Valhalla, the abode of the Gods. Wagner himself prepared the concert arrangement (now scored for Military Band) of this wonderful piece of sound-painting, which opens the Third Act of his Music Drama, The Valkyries.
