Any one here read Der Freischutz? Or rather seen it being performed as it is an opera?
Just bought Hellsing Ultimate volume IV today, and the character Rip Van Winkle sings Das Wild in Fluren und Triften which is from Der Freischutz, which roughly translates to The Free Shooter or The Marksman.
It was the opening portion of the song that was used in the anime, but it just sounded so beautiful. Propbably because it was a chick singing in the anime as opposed to a man in the opera. But I have heard a male singing it and it still sounds good.
I must see this opera sometime, or at the least read it. Marksmen making deals with Zamiel (The Devil) fails to hold up his end then getting his soul dragged down to hell and his body thrown in a ravine and devoured by wolves. And no fat chicks.
But that being said Walkurenritt has a fat chick in it and I love that opera too. Die Walkure (The call of the Valkries( is a brillant song.
Opening lyrics to Das Wild in Fluren und Triften
Mein Sohn, nur Mut!
Wer Gott vertraut, baut gut!
etzt auf! In Bergen und Kluften (the u in Kluften is actually the U with the dots above it. Site doesnt like that symbol)
Tobt morgen der freudige Krieg!
Das Wild in Fluren und Triften,
Der Aar in Wolken und Luften (the u in Luften is actually the U with the dots above it. Site doesnt like that symbol)
Ist unser, und unser der Sieg!
der Sieg! der Sieg! der Sieg!
My son, have courage!
Who trusts God, builds good
Let's go! In Mountains and abyss
Tomorrow rages the joyful war!
The game in fields and valleys
The eagle in clouds and air
Is our, and our is the victory!
the victory! the victory! the victory!

-Humankind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return. To obtain, something of equal value must be lost. That is alchemy's First Law of Equivalent Exchange. In those days, we really believed that to be the world's one, and only, truth.
