Podcasts about Johann Sebastian Bach

fWotD Episode 3101: Gott der Herr ist Sonn und Schild, BWV 79 Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.The featured article for Friday, 31 October 2025, is Gott der Herr ist Sonn und Schild, BWV 79.Gott der Herr ist Sonn und Schild ('God the Lord is sun and shield'), BWV 79, is a church cantata for Reformation Day by Johann Sebastian Bach. He composed it in 1725, his third year in the position of Thomaskantor in Leipzig, and led the first performance on 31 October that year. It is possibly his first cantata for the occasion. He used most of the music for two of his four short masses in the 1730s.The text was written by an unknown poet, who did not refer to the prescribed readings for the day. He began the libretto for the feast with a quotation from Psalm 84 and included two hymn stanzas, the first from Martin Rinckart's "Nun danket alle Gott", associated with Reformation Day in Leipzig, as the third movement, and as the last movement the final stanza of Ludwig Helmbold's "Nun laßt uns Gott dem Herren". Bach composed a work of "festive magnificence", structured in six movements, with an aria following the opening chorus, and a recitative and duet following the first chorale. He scored the work for three vocal soloists, a four-part choir, and a Baroque instrumental ensemble of two horns, timpani, two transverse flutes (added for a later performance), two oboes, strings and continuo. He achieved a unity within the structure by using the horns not only in the opening but also as obbligato instruments in the two chorales, the first time even playing the same motifs.Bach performed the cantata again, probably in 1730. He later reworked the music of the opening chorus and a duet again for his Missa in G major, BWV 236, and the music of an alto aria for his Missa in A major, BWV 234.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 01:19 UTC on Friday, 31 October 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Gott der Herr ist Sonn und Schild, BWV 79 on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Jasmine.

Today we will talk a lot about Matthias Corvinus, the legendary renaissance king of Hungary whose library outshone that of the Medici in Florence and whose standing army was one of the greatest – and most expensive - military forces in 15th century Europe. Why are we talking about a Hungarian ruler in a series about the Habsburgs? Trust me, there is a good reason beyond it being a fascinating life story.The music for the show is Flute Sonata in E-flat major, H.545 by Carl Phillip Emmanuel Bach (or some claim it as BWV 1031 Johann Sebastian Bach) performed and arranged by Michel Rondeau under Common Creative Licence 3.0.As always:Homepage with maps, photos, transcripts and blog: www.historyofthegermans.comIf you wish to support the show go to: Support • History of the Germans PodcastFacebook: @HOTGPod Threads: @history_of_the_germans_podcastBluesky: @hotgpod.bsky.socialInstagram: history_of_the_germansTwitter: @germanshistoryTo make it easier for you to share the podcast, I have created separate playlists for some of the seasons that are set up as individual podcasts. they have the exact same episodes as in the History of the Germans, but they may be a helpful device for those who want to concentrate on only one season.

In deze aflevering van Kalm met Klassiek staat er muziek klaar van Georg Friedrich Telemann, tijdgenoot van Johann Sebastian Bach. Oude muziek dus, maar ook weer niet, want deze specifieke uitvoering komt van een gloednieuw album. Je kunt de muziek dus zien als de klank van deze herfst, en daarbij nodigt Ab je uit om zelf ook eens stil te staan bij de herfst van nu. Het huidige seizoen met extra intentie beleven: aan het vioolspel van Isabelle Faust en de strijkers van de Akademie für Alte Musik Berlin zal het niet liggen. Zij maken dat dit 'Concert voor viool en strijkorkest' van Telemann een nóg groter genot is om naar te luisteren. Wil je meer Kalm met Klassiek?

It is November 1462 and the emperor Friedrich III and his young family are huddling together in the cellars of the Hofburg. The citizens of Vienna are shooting cannonballs into the 13th century castle, the walls are crumbling and any moment now the angry crowds may break in. Outside, supporting the insurrection stood his own brother, calling on him to give up. Two crowns he has already lost and a third is about to be knocked off his head as the imperial princes had ganged up on him. Friedrich III was a man who firmly believed in ancient laws and traditions and was profoundly ill suited for a world where, as Picciolomini wrote in the last sentence of his history of the emperor Friedrich III quote: “We are of the opinion that empires are won by weapons, not by legal means!” Friedrich III and with him the Habsburgs hit rock bottom, but how and why exactly he ended up there, and w hat that tells us about the profound changes during this period of history is what we are going to explore in this episode.The music for the show is Flute Sonata in E-flat major, H.545 by Carl Phillip Emmanuel Bach (or some claim it as BWV 1031 Johann Sebastian Bach) performed and arranged by Michel Rondeau under Common Creative Licence 3.0.As always:Homepage with maps, photos, transcripts and blog: www.historyofthegermans.comIf you wish to support the show go to: Support • History of the Germans PodcastFacebook: @HOTGPod Threads: @history_of_the_germans_podcastBluesky: @hotgpod.bsky.socialInstagram: history_of_the_germansTwitter: @germanshistoryTo make it easier for you to share the podcast, I have created separate playlists for some of the seasons that are set up as individual podcasts. they have the exact same episodes as in the History of the Germans, but they may be a helpful device for those who want to concentrate on only one season.

Johann Sebastian Bach is a towering cultural icon, a composer who might be seen as the poster boy for “serious music” and spent most of his career in the service of the church. But he played many roles in the course of his life, and could be funny, sassy, conniving, obstinate, and rebellious. Donald Macleod dives into Bach's secular music, and follows his trail as he makes his way in the world, from courts to coffee houses, building a family, two-timing his bosses, and even a stint behind bars.Featured music: Brandenburg Concerto No 5, BWV1050 (i.

Our journey today will take us away from the emperor Friedrich III who will spend most of the episode holed up in his castle at Wiener Neustadt, fretting and gardening. Instead we look at the dramatic life of his younger cousin, Ladislaus Postumus, king of Hungary, king of Bohemia and Archduke of Austria. This will take us back to Prague and its complex religious politics, to Vienna where the people fall for the alluring promises of a populist and to Hungary where one of the greatest generals of the age squares up against Mehmet II, the conqueror of Constantinople.The music for the show is Flute Sonata in E-flat major, H.545 by Carl Phillip Emmanuel Bach (or some claim it as BWV 1031 Johann Sebastian Bach) performed and arranged by Michel Rondeau under Common Creative Licence 3.0.As always:Homepage with maps, photos, transcripts and blog: www.historyofthegermans.comIf you wish to support the show go to: Support • History of the Germans PodcastFacebook: @HOTGPod Threads: @history_of_the_germans_podcastBluesky: @hotgpod.bsky.socialInstagram: history_of_the_germansTwitter: @germanshistoryTo make it easier for you to share the podcast, I have created separate playlists for some of the seasons that are set up as individual podcasts. they have the exact same episodes as in the History of the Germans, but they may be a helpful device for those who want to concentrate on only one season.

El 9 de octubre de 2025 celebramos el Día Mundial de la Visión, una fecha que ha servido de inspiración para el nuevo programa de nuestro director de orquesta, Andrés Salado, titulado La Alboreá: Música a ciegas. Esta propuesta artística nos invita a reflexionar sobre la relación entre la música y la percepción, más allá de lo visual.Paradójicamente, esta inspiración no fue posible para Georg Friedrich Haendel, quien, además de sufrir un delicado estado de salud, enfrentó graves problemas de visión. A lo largo de los años, se sometió a varias intervenciones quirúrgicas, siendo la última a manos del controvertido oculista John Taylor.Taylor, más que un médico, era un personaje pintoresco: viajaba por Europa en su carromato, operando ojos con una temeridad que dejaba a muchos pacientes peor de lo que estaban. Haendel no fue la excepción. Tras la operación, quedó completamente ciego y aún más debilitado. Curiosamente, Johann Sebastian Bach también fue intervenido por Taylor, con el mismo trágico desenlace: la ceguera total.Sin embargo, la historia de la música está llena de ejemplos de artistas que, a pesar de la ceguera, lograron carreras brillantes. Es el caso de María Teresa von Paradis, compositora vienesa del siglo XVIII, quien perdió la vista a los tres años. Su talento la llevó a recorrer Europa ofreciendo conciertos y componiendo decenas de obras. Y más cerca de nuestro tiempo, encontramos la historia de Andrea Bocelli. Nació con glaucoma congénito, pero fue un accidente jugando al fútbol —un balonazo en la cabeza a los 12 años— lo que le dejó completamente ciego. Para cualquier niño, ese momento podría haber significado el fin de muchos sueños. Pero en Bocelli despertó algo más profundo: una necesidad de expresarse a través de su voz. Escuchar audio

Hello friends of the History of the Germans. I am afraid there will not be an episode this week. I would have preferred to say that I have caught a bug or something, but the truth is, I just could not put something together that lives up to your and my standards. Sorry, this does not happen very often, but it does. The muse was busy somewhere else or missed the entry point for my humble attic. So, rather than wasting your time with something sub-par, I decided to call it off for this week. I will go back to the drawing board and make sure something sensible shows up in your feed next week.If however you need your weekly fix of German history content, you can go to the History Rage Podcast where Paul Bavil allowed me to go on for far too long about my pet hate, which is people endlessly repeating Voltaire's quip that the Holy Roman empire was neither Holy, nor Roman nor an empire. Not only is that joke 200 years old, it isn't even accurate. https://pod.fo/e/3330ceAnd if you are of a gentler disposition and cannot bear me losing my rag, you can always prepare yourself for next week's episode by listening back to some older episodes where we have discussed the mid-15th century in the Hanseatic League, Prussia, Bohemia and Germany. For instance episode 122, where we heard how right around this time the Hanseatic League's stranglehold over the Baltic led to a collapse of the once sprawling herring fair in Scania and the rise of the Dutch herring industry based in Amsterdam. In episode 136 we covered the 13-year long war between the Teutonic Knights and the cities and major aristocrats of Prussia, that started in 1454 and ended up with the loss of Gdansk and Western Prussia. The Mainzer Stiftsfehde and the Furstenkrieg that also fall into this period is so complex, we had to break it down into multiple podcasts. Episode 186 about Mainz and Hessen, 189 about the Count Palatine on the Rhine and his conflict with Friedrich III, 191/192 where we look at the involvement of Baden and Wurttemberg, and 196 and 197 about the internecine warfare in Bavaria that linked into it. Or just think of a number, any number between zero and 209, and listen to that episode. Either that or listen to any of the thousands ad thousands of other great episodes talented podcasters put out every week.See you next week.The music for the show is Flute Sonata in E-flat major, H.545 by Carl Phillip Emmanuel Bach (or some claim it as BWV 1031 Johann Sebastian Bach) performed and arranged by Michel Rondeau under Common Creative Licence 3.0.As always:Homepage with maps, photos, transcripts and blog: www.historyofthegermans.comIf you...

Folge 287: Höchste Zeit, dass wir uns mit der Toccata d-Moll einem der populärsten Bach-Werke widmen. Aber ist das Stück überhaupt von Bach? Und falls ja, gehört es nach Arnstadt?

Johann Sebastian Bach's “The Well-Tempered Clavier” a two-volume collection of 24 preludes and fugues in every major and minor key, is a foundational work in classical music, demonstrating a revolutionary tuning system for keyboard instruments. 90.9 WRCJ's Haley Taylor talks with pianist Christopher O'Riley about his newly-released recording of Book II, where he explores the Japanese concept of Ma—'the space between'—to uncover new expressive possibilities through the silence between the notes.

Today we – and the Habsburgs – stride back on to the grand stage of European politics. Not with a titan of history or monarch whose long and fruitful reign resonates across the centuries, but with Friedrich III, better known as the Reichserzschlafmütze - the imperial arch sleepy head, Or perhaps more fittingly the imperial arch dawdler.He ruled from 1440 to 1493, a total of 53 years - the longest reign of any Holy (or unholy) Roman Emperors (bar Constantine VIII). And yet, is also the most derided of reigns. In 1878 the Historian Georg Voigt sneered: “He was not remotely capable of handling such far-reaching politics, leaving Bohemia to its own devices, the Hungarian throne dispute to the helpless queen dowager, Austria to the arrogant dynasts, and the mercenary and robber bands.” “His light, simple hair, his long face with little movement, and his sedate gait betrayed a sluggish, deliberate nature, to which any enthusiasm, indeed any excitement, was alien. His love of peace has been endlessly mocked, but it was based on a completely dull sense of manhood and honour. No prince was so easily consoled by such insolent and repeated insults.” End quote.Modern historians are kinder, praising his thorough education and dogged determination to preserve what was left of the majesty of the Holy Roman Emperors. But even they can't avoid calling him flabby, underhand and happy to sell out his friends and allies. Not exactly the kind of guy one wants to spend three or four episodes with. But this is history, not Hollywood. The nice guys do not usually win by yanking hard on the levers of destiny. More often than not tenacious men of low cunning, who weasel their way through, are the ones who are bringing the results.And results he did get. At the end of his reign, the empire had changed profoundly. The open constitution of the Middle Ages had given way to a denser and more structured organization.Why and how Friedrich III – despite all his many shortcomings - got to move the needle of German history is what we will look at over the next few weeks.The music for the show is Flute Sonata in E-flat major, H.545 by Carl Phillip Emmanuel Bach (or some claim it as BWV 1031 Johann Sebastian Bach) performed and arranged by Michel Rondeau under Common Creative Licence 3.0.As always:Homepage with maps, photos, transcripts and blog: www.historyofthegermans.comIf you wish to support the show go to: Support • History of the Germans PodcastFacebook: @HOTGPod Threads: @history_of_the_germans_podcastBluesky: @hotgpod.bsky.socialInstagram: history_of_the_germansTwitter: @germanshistoryTo make it easier for you to share the podcast, I have created separate playlists for some of the seasons that are set up as individual podcasts. they have the exact same episodes as in the History of the Germans, but they may be a helpful device for those who want to concentrate on only one season.

Folge 286: Bach zückt in aller Öffentlichkeit den Degen. Und die Hobby-Psychologen Maul & Schrammek wägen ab: Ist es vielleicht ein Schrei nach Aufmerksamkeit und Liebe?

Last week we saw the family slowly climbing out of the hole that Friedrich IV of the Tyrol had dug them. But despite all these consolidation efforts, the family was still in the second league of European princely families. Then, just 25 years after Ernst the Iron married down into minor Polish royalty, his first cousin once removed, Albrecht V became King of Hungary, King of the Romans and King of Bohemia, all in one single year, 1438. How was that possible? Here is friend of the podcast, Eneas Silvio Piccolomini summarizing events: quote Albrecht grew up and married Elizabeth, daughter of King Sigismund. She was a very beautiful woman, who lived with him most virtuously. After the Bohemians had turned to heresy and terrorised all their neighbours with wars, he alone, with great strength, protected Moravia and Austria, and the damage he inflicted upon the Bohemians was not less than the damage he took from them. He was always in arms and, like the Bohemians, used waggon formations in battle. Making his soldiers undergo hard military training, Albrecht was the only one of all their neighbours whom the Bohemians feared, having been often defeated by him and put to flight.When his father-in-law Sigismund died, the Hungarians soon called him to the kingship, and the Bohemians followed suit. Thus, in a very short time, he gained two large kingdoms. In the meantime, the electors of the Empire, having heard about Sigismund's death, elected Albrecht as King of the Romans and sent their decree to him in Vienna.” End quoteBish bash bosh – that is it, end of episode.

Pianist Simone Dinnerstein has many loves – her family, her hometown, her musical collaborators, and Johann Sebastian Bach's music, to name just a few. The proud Brooklyn resident founded her musical ensemble and called it BAROKLYN. They named their 2025 debut album Complicité, a term she first heard from her son, who studied the teachings of the French theatre practitioner, Jacques Lecoq. Suzanne spoke with Simone Dinnerstein about Complicité, how the concept relates to the album and her group, and how she feels about being a conductor now.

“The Habsburgs ruled half of Europe with a chin that entered the room five minutes before they did,” is one of those witticisms that made the 19th century so amusing. But by then the Habsburg jaw had long receded. It had its heyday in the 16th and 17th century when people in Spain called out to the future emperor Charles V: “Your majesty, shut your mouth! The flies of this country are very insolent.” And when they looked at his later descendant, king Charles II who was probably the worst affected, they said, he was “more Habsburg than human”. But where is the Habsburg Jaw from? The view repeated again and again in history books is that it came from Cymburga of Masovia, the wife of duke Ernst the Iron, but was she really responsible? Or was it something quite different that caused that deformation, and what has it to do with the prostration of duke Friedrich IV before emperor Sigismund in 1415?That is what we are looking at in this episode.The music for the show is Flute Sonata in E-flat major, H.545 by Carl Phillip Emmanuel Bach (or some claim it as BWV 1031 Johann Sebastian Bach) performed and arranged by Michel Rondeau under Common Creative Licence 3.0.As always:Homepage with maps, photos, transcripts and blog: www.historyofthegermans.comIf you wish to support the show go to: Support • History of the Germans PodcastFacebook: @HOTGPod Threads: @history_of_the_germans_podcastBluesky: @hotgpod.bsky.socialInstagram: history_of_the_germansTwitter: @germanshistoryTo make it easier for you to share the podcast, I have created separate playlists for some of the seasons that are set up as individual podcasts. they have the exact same episodes as in the History of the Germans, but they may be a helpful device for those who want to concentrate on only one season.

Vivemos em uma época marcada por transformações aceleradas, onde tudo parece estar em constante movimento. Neste episódio, os professores voluntários Paula, Poloni e Gustavo Massen, da sede Caxias do Sul (RS), dialogam com Danilo Gomes sobre a busca por valores permanentes em meio às mudanças que caracterizam a vida contemporânea. A reflexão parte da aparente contradição entre o fluxo constante da vida e a necessidade humana de estabilidade. Com base na filosofia – especialmente em pensadores como Heráclito, Parmênides e Platão – o episódio convida o ouvinte a reconhecer a existência de princípios atemporais que podem servir de guia para uma vida mais plena e consciente. Valores como fraternidade, responsabilidade, justiça e amor são apresentados como âncoras essenciais para enfrentar os desafios de um mundo instável. Os professores abordam ainda o conceito de Dharma, a importância da reflexão filosófica e a necessidade de viver de forma coerente e alinhada com os ideais mais elevados do ser humano. Com exemplos práticos e citações inspiradoras, este episódio reforça a ideia de que, mesmo diante de um cenário de incertezas, é possível construir um caminho de esperança e transformação interior. Cabe a cada um de nós dar o primeiro passo, com coragem e consciência, para sermos agentes de mudança positiva na sociedade. Participantes: Paula Poloni, Gustavo Massen e Danilo Gomes  Trilha Sonora: Sonata para Flauta em Mi Menor – Segundo movimento (Allegro), de Johann Sebastian Bach

Él les preguntó: "Y vosotros, ¿quién decís que soy yo?"» (Mat. 16: 13-15).Dar testimonio de nuestra fe requiere explicar, de algún modo, quién es Jesús para nosotros. Creo que la clave de la supervivencia del cristianismo genuino se encuentra en nuestra voluntad de identificarnos personalmente con Jesús y de hacer nuestra su causa. Más que una doctrina, la fe cristiana es una «interpretación» de Jesús. Como sabiamente se ha dicho: «El maravilloso amor de Cristo enternecerá y subyugará los corazones cuando la simple exposición de las doctrinas no lograría nada» (El Deseado de todas las gentes, pág. 766).¿Cómo se podría dar a conocer la obra de Johann Sebastian Bach sin músicos capaces de interpretarla? El futuro del cristianismo depende de la interpretación que los cristianos de hoy hagamos de Cristo. ¿Cómo presentarlo en una sociedad posmoderna con una vivencia de amor que sea capaz de aportar esperanza a nuestro mundo?Interpretar a Jesús es serle fiel a nivel personal más allá de la falsa seguridad de las tradiciones. Los apóstoles y evangelistas lo hicieron cada uno a su manera. No se limitaron a reproducir literalmente sus palabras, porque no querían que sus predicaciones solo interesasen a arqueólogos, ni que sus iglesias se convirtiesen en museos. Jesús nos dio ejemplo de lo que significa ser un «intérprete de Dios» (Juan 1: 18). «Oísteis que fue dicho a los antiguos, pero yo os digo» (Mat. 5: 21, 27, 31, 33, 38). Si Jesús necesitaba entonces explicar las Escrituras para que su público captara su verdadero mensaje, nosotros necesitamos, guiados por el Espíritu, «interpretar» a Jesús a través de nuestra vida, de nuestras palabras y de nuestra propia experiencia, con el fin de hacerlo comprensible y atractivo para nuestro entorno.Un gran error de algunos creyentes consiste en fijar a Cristo en unas cuantas frases hechas, en unas cuantas metáforas o imágenes, en unos estereotipos repetitivos, sin duda muy tradicionales y auténticos, pero tan alejados de los intereses de los hombres y mujeres de hoy como de sus necesidades.O seguimos bloqueados por formulaciones obsoletas, o renovamos la fuerza de nuestro mensaje inspirado por la creatividad inagotable del Espíritu Santo.Señor, sé bien que solo puedo ser testigo de algo que he experimentado personalmente. Solo puedo transmitir tu mensaje de amor universal si lo vivo yo mismo. Solo puedo hacer brillar la luz del evangelio si en mi corazón resplandece su llama. 

Success for a princely family in the Late Middle Ages has a lot to do with reproductive luck. Not having any offspring, in particular no male offspring is a bit of a knockout. But having too many sons that could be a major issue too.And in 1386 the Habsburgs struggled with exactly that problem. Their territory was already divided between an Albertine and a Leopoldine line. But then Leopold had four sons, bringing the number of archdukes of Austria to six, which is five too many.In this episode we will discuss how they managed to muck it up quite bad, in fact so bad, one of their number had to fall to his knees before the emperor, not once, not twice, but three times…Albertiner- Albrecht III (1349-1395) o Albrecht IV (1377-1404) § Albrecht V (II) (1397-1439) · Ladislaus Postumus (1440-1457)Leopoldiner- Leopold III (1351-1386) o Wilhelm (1370-1406) o Leopold IV (1371-1411) o Ernst der Eiserne (1377-1424) § Friedrich V (III) (1415-1494) § Albrecht VI (1418-1463) o Friedrich IV (1382-1439) § Siegismund der Munzreiche (1427-1496)The music for the show is Flute Sonata in E-flat major, H.545 by Carl Phillip Emmanuel Bach (or some claim it as BWV 1031 Johann Sebastian Bach) performed and arranged by Michel Rondeau under Common Creative Licence 3.0.As always:Homepage with maps, photos, transcripts and blog: www.historyofthegermans.comIf you wish to support the show go to: Support • History of the Germans PodcastFacebook: @HOTGPod Threads: @history_of_the_germans_podcastBluesky: @hotgpod.bsky.socialInstagram: history_of_the_germansTwitter: @germanshistoryTo make it easier for you to share the podcast, I have created separate playlists for some of the seasons that are set up as individual podcasts. they have the exact same episodes as in the History of the Germans, but they may be a helpful device for those who want to concentrate on only one season.

Walk through most neighborhoods, and you get at least a general sense of people's back yards. But where the truly wealthy live on enormous gated parcels of land, you quickly notice it's almost impossible to either see or know what's going on back there. With all that space and total anonymity, it really could be… anything. Music: Michele Nobler, 'Choral Prelude in F Minor' by Johann Sebastian Bach, all rights reserved.

Alec and Nick return to podcasting to discuss their special respective connections to classical music. The conversation employs a back-to-basics overview of the form: what is classical music? What is NOT classical music? What was and is it? Taking a zoomed-out approach, the episode spans the culture, mechanics, operations, and evolution of classical music: arriving at an assessment of the “audacity of its form” in relationship to the dysfunction and cosmopolitanism of contemporary society. Johann Sebastian Bach, Igor Stravinsky, Richard Strauss, Maurice Ravel, Erik Satie, John Cage, Morton Feldman, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, and even … Béla Fleck & the Flecktones are all mentioned. 

On July 9th, 1386 in a field near the Sempach lake., the armies of archduke Leopold of Austria line up against the forces of the city of Lucerne and the men of Uri, Schwyz and Nidwalden Much of what hads been told about this batte, the backstory of the Swiss Confederation and the objectives of the Habsburgs have been drenched in myth. Myths that are in the main debunked. That being said, the story is still dramatic and hugely important.The music for the show is Flute Sonata in E-flat major, H.545 by Carl Phillip Emmanuel Bach (or some claim it as BWV 1031 Johann Sebastian Bach) performed and arranged by Michel Rondeau under Common Creative Licence 3.0.As always:Homepage with maps, photos, transcripts and blog: www.historyofthegermans.comIf you wish to support the show go to: Support • History of the Germans PodcastFacebook: @HOTGPod Threads: @history_of_the_germans_podcastBluesky: @hotgpod.bsky.socialInstagram: history_of_the_germansTwitter: @germanshistoryTo make it easier for you to share the podcast, I have created separate playlists for some of the seasons that are set up as individual podcasts. they have the exact same episodes as in the History of the Germans, but they may be a helpful device for those who want to concentrate on only one season.

Rudolf IV of Habsburg (1339–1365), son of Albrecht “the Wise,” reigned as Duke of Austria for just seven years but left a lasting mark. Born when the dynasty seemed close to extinction, Rudolf secured Austria's survival and prestige. Politically, he sought to elevate Vienna by founding the University of Vienna (1365) and beginning construction of St. Stephen's Cathedral. Though he fulfilled his father's ambition to gain the Tyrol, the family fell behind their rivals, namely the Luxemburgs.Rudolf's most audacious act was the Privilegium Maius, a set of forged charters claiming ancient Roman emperors had granted Austria near-sovereign status, primogeniture, and the unique title of Archduke. Though denounced by Petrarch as absurd, the documents shaped Habsburg identity for centuries and underpinned later power.By creating myths of divine and heroic origins, Rudolf forged a sense of Habsburg exceptionalism. Though dying young without heirs, he truly was “the Founder.”The music for the show is Flute Sonata in E-flat major, H.545 by Carl Phillip Emmanuel Bach (or some claim it as BWV 1031 Johann Sebastian Bach) performed and arranged by Michel Rondeau under Common Creative Licence 3.0.As always:Homepage with maps, photos, transcripts and blog: www.historyofthegermans.comIf you wish to support the show go to: Support • History of the Germans PodcastFacebook: @HOTGPod Threads: @history_of_the_germans_podcastBluesky: @hotgpod.bsky.socialInstagram: history_of_the_germansTwitter: @germanshistoryTo make it easier for you to share the podcast, I have created separate playlists for some of the seasons that are set up as individual podcasts. they have the exact same episodes as in the History of the Germans, but they may be a helpful device for those who want to concentrate on only one season.
