Bruennhilde: (#77/#34 >> :) Grane, my horse, take this my greeting (:#77/#34).
(She has leapt towards it. Taking it, she quickly removes its bridle and leans towards it, confidingly.)
Bruennhilde: (#77:; #101 accompaniment(?) [didn’t Dunning mean #100’s accompaniment?]) Do you know, my friend, (#77:) where I’m taking you now (:#77)? [[ #178: ]] = #93:) Lit by the fire (#92; #178? = #93) your lord lies there, (#92) (#92:) Siegfried, my blessed hero (:#92). (#77) (#78:) You whinny with joy to follow your friend (:#78)? (#78?) (#35:) Does the laughing fire (#78) lure you to him? – (#178 = #93:; #5?:) Feel how the flames burn in my breast, [[ #178:]] = #93:) effulgent fires seize hold of my heart: to clasp him to me while held in my arms and in mightiest love to be wedded to him (:#178 = #93; :#5?)! (#178? = #93; #78/#92:) Heiayoho! Grane (:#78/#92)! (#92) [[ #178: ]] = #93) Greet your master (:#178 = #93)! (#92?) Siegfried! Siegfried! See! (She has leapt on to the horse and raises it to jump.) (#92c or 71 vari “Hero” or #57 vari voc?: [i.e., #92’s terminating cadential figure as heard in the funeral procession. It was first heard in V.3.1 twice, once after #92ab was introduced just after Bruennhilde told Sieglinde that Sieglinde was sheltering in her womb the world’s noblest hero, as Bruennhilde handed the two pieces of Siegmund’s sword Nothung to Sieglinde (and immediately after #92a was repeated), and the second time as Bruennhilde told Sieglinde that he who will wield the newly forged sword will be named by Bruennhilde Siegfried?]; #134 vari (?): [This music, which in any case can hardly be heard distinctly in the orchestral mix, seems not to be #134 per se but some music associated with it as a tail or end frag when Wotan sang “Waking, your all-wise child will do the deed that redeems the world”? This needs to be vetted in the score!!!]) In bliss your wife bids you welcome (:#92c or #71 vari “Hero” or #57 vari voc?; :#134 vari)! (With a single bound she urges the horse into the blazing fire. #78; #77)
Brandishing her torch, and accompanied by the motif representing her father Wotan’s authority, #21, the Spear Motif, Bruennhilde has ordered Wotan’s ravens to fly home and whisper to their lord what they heard here on the Rhine, i.e., Bruennhilde’s judgment of Wotan’s guilt. Wotan’s guilt lay in Wotan’s exploitation of Siegfried’s innocence to involve him in Wotan’s crime of self-deception. Bruennhilde’s final judgment includes her intent to restore the Ring - which Siegfried released in death - to the Rhinedaughters, as Wotan had wished. She then calls upon Wotan’s ravens to tell Loge, still burning around Bruennhilde’s mountain peak, to haste to Valhalla, since
