Led Zeppelin - Babe Im Gonna Leave You

Grinding dissonances of “fanfare of horror” (as Richard Wagner called it) destroys the illusory utopia and opens the last act of this symphonic drama.

The cello and double basses quietly sing the "theme of joy." Violas timidly join her and play the bassoon, then violins, then all the winds ... The joy has already come, but she still has no verbal expression, and despite the power of the orchestra, she is fragile and vulnerable: again, a terrifying dissonant fanfare sounds - and then, finally, a human voice is heard.
