Forgot to mention last night that this piece has a title; it's called Die Königswalküre ("The King's Valkyrie").

The Königswalküren were an 18th-century order of cavalry witches who were part of the court of Friedrich I, King in Prussia (1657-1713), the first Hohenzollern to style himself a king. Augusta Kramer, Hannelore's ancestor and a descendant of Heinrikke Kramer (author of Der Hexenhammer, the 15th-century German manual of spellcraft), was one of the original members. She was created the first Baroness von Hammer in 1705.
