Sound symbolism in Divara - Wasser und Blut is expressed in colour and in symbolic quotations from existing music. Fate, fatality and prophecy of the mysterious are represented by original and inverted intervals, which can be transposed Cursing is represented by F sharp as a melodic centre or pedal-­note, also used to prefigure tragedy or an apocalyptic event. Emptiness is symbolized by harmony based on D, G sharp and A in any structure but without transposition. The progress of the Anabaptists is represented by the rhythm of an approaching march. Christ is the tonic D, the Devil the triton of this, G sharp, Death is the dominant A, notes that constitute the idea of emptiness. The Anabaptists are symbolized by the theme of a chorale from Meyerbeer's opera La prophète, a theme used by Franz Liszt in 1850 for his monumental organ work Fantasia and Fugue on Ad nos, ad salutarem undam.
