What'll help:
Try to get a copy of the score for one of Wagner's pieces. Then copy it down on your own paper, note for note, marking for marking. What you're doing is breaking down the composition, and you can see what Wagner did to make each sound.
Perhaps I could suggest John Williams? They use the same style, if I'm not mistaken. (John Williams wrote the theme for the Harry Potter flims, Dante's Peak, and many other movies you've probably seen)
