His era's enthusiasm for the oratorio genre also inspired Antonín Dvořák, who significantly advanced the national tone poem in this genre. The plot of The Ghost Bride is taken from a popular ballad by the Czech poet Karel Jaromír Erben: A pious girl longs to be reunited with her lover, who was lost in the war. Having fallen in battle, the latter seeks her out as an undead bridegroom and attempts to lead the bride to eternal damnation. Seemingly on her way to him, she is gradually forced to discard all signs of her faith. But in the end, her faith prevails and saves her from the realm of the dead.
