Tannhauser and Elizabeth/Judgment with border
|
|
The legend of Tannhauser, the famed German minnesinger or troubadour, has roots in thirteenth-century history. Several of his song lyrics survive to this day, including a song of repentance entitled Buszlied. Contemporary stories of Tannhauser’s travels, which may have included a stint in the Crusades, took on a life of their own. In time, they inspired a sixteenth-century ballad, which in turn served as basis for Tannhauser, Richard Wagner’s romantic nineteenth-century opera.
