fpHE Pilgrim's Chant, approaching and with-L drawing, the wild Dance of the Maidens of the Venus Mount, Knight Tannhäuser's Love Invocation, the Rising of Venus, the Love Song agnin, the Wild Revets of the Court of Venus the Pilgrim's Chant once more-these make up the famous and popular Overture to Tannhäuser.
Thus is pictured the eternal strife between the carnal and the spiritual.
