PARsIFAL.
The Coming Damrosch Lectures.
Parsifal was the last work of the great
dead master, Wagner. The key note Of
this opera is the blood of God! Mystic
| symbol of divine life 'tfor the blood is the
life thereof" Wine is the ready symbol
cal vehicle-the material link between tn.
divine and the human life. The passionate
desire to approach and mingle with diety
is the one mystic bond common to all re
ligions in all lands. To the Christian it il
summed up in the Lords Supper"
In the legends of Parsifal and Lohen
grin the knightly and religious element
are welded together. We need approach
Parsifal with no deep knowledge of th
various Sagas made use of by Wagner i,
his drama.
Joseph of Arimathea received in crys
tai cup the blood of Christ as it fiowet
from the spear wound made by the Roman
soldier. The cup and the spear were com
mitted to Titurel, who became hol,
knight and head of sacred brother
hood Of knights. They dwelt il
the Vizigoth mountains of south
L OAA 0Pd1u3 WuoIo dIuluSt lIupOu6CTd
BILE forests rose the legendary palac
of Montsalvat. Here they guarded the sa
cred relics, issuing forth at times iron
their palatial fortress, like Lohengrin, t.
fight for innocence and right, and Away
returning to renew their youth an,
strength by the celestial contemplation O
Sangrail (real or royal blood) and by coca
sional participation in the holy feast
Titurel grew extremely aged, but it wa
not allowed that he could die in the pres
ence of tho Sangrail He rested in an opel
tomb beneath the altar of the Grail, an,
whenever the cup was uncovered his voic
might be heard joining in the celebration
Meanwhile his son, Amfortis, reigned il
his stead.
Montsalvat, with its pure, contemplativ
but active brotherhood and it's mystic cup
thus stands out as the poetic symbol of al
| that is highest and best in medieval Chris
tianity. The note of the wicked worlt
breaks in upon our vision as the seen
changes from the Halls of Montsalvat t.
Kingsor's palace. Klingsor is wicke,
knight, who enters into a compact witt
the powers of evil to wage war against tn
holy knights with a view of corruptin,
himself R RSe ns%ase ~aoh
power is believed to excel. The tragica
turning point of the Parsifal is the Am
| FORTS, the son Of Titurel, the official guar
dian Of the Grail, in making war upon tn
wicked knight took with him the sacret
spear and lost it to Klingsor. How al
this comes about will be told in the cours
of lectures to be given by Mr.. Waite
Damrosch in February, for which the sub
scription list is n ow open at Steinert's.
