PRESENTATION OUTLINE
Oh Warfather on high,
I am calling you from the battlefield
And as I take my last breath
I call for the mightiest of miracles
For none but the brave, be he king or a slave
With a pounding heart in his chest
Will be worthy to rise and with the Valkyries fly
And ride to the ancient Valhalla
Oh Warfather on high
Listen to my prayer…
Ride of the Valkyries is a famous aria composed by Richard Wagner.
The characters who perform are the Valkyries, a group of females who choose who dies and who lives in a battle.
Their vocal ranges span from soprano, mezzo-soprano, and contralto.
Today, they used this music in a episode of The Simpsons.
