Lohengrin presently proceeds to disclose his secret in that wondrous "In fernem Land" surely the most superb thing of its sort ever written. The vocal part is as I have already pointed out, this is often the case in Wagner something between pure song and recitative; and here it is of a quality he himself rarely matched not even in Tristan.
It is less a theme capable of purely musical development to form pattern after pattern of entrancing beauty, like the Grail or Montsalvat theme, than the equivalent in music of tender colour. It never sings out from the orchestra without carrying the imagination for a moment from the scene before one's eyes to the fernem Land.
As Senta's ballad is the germ of the Dutchman, so is Lohengrin's narrative, "In fernem Land," the germ of this more beautiful opera. It plays a more important part in Lohengrin than does the ballad in the Dutchman.
