Quais são as lições que o futebol podem nos ensinar sobre a vida? O que faz com que um jogo simples, disputado por onze jogadores de cada lado, seja capaz de emocionar multidões, atravessar gerações e permanecer vivo na memória de tantas pessoas? Neste episódio do Podcast Filosófico da Nova Acrópole, Danilo Gomes conversa com o professor voluntário Michael Queiroz sobre os aspectos filosóficos presentes no futebol. Muito além das táticas, dos resultados ou das rivalidades, o futebol é apresentado como uma rica metáfora da existência humana. A partir de exemplos do esporte, os participantes refletem sobre temas como coletividade, liberdade, disciplina, arte, adaptação, virtudes e aprendizado. Uma conversa leve e provocadora que convida o ouvinte a olhar para o futebol — e para a própria vida — com novos olhos. Afinal, será que os desafios que enfrentamos fora dos gramados são tão diferentes daqueles vividos dentro deles? E se cada partida escondesse lições valiosas sobre como viver melhor? Participantes: Danilo Gomes e Michael Queiroz Trilha Sonora: Prelúdio da Suíte para Violoncelo nº 1 em Sol Maior, de Johann Sebastian Bach.

Tradicional evento dedicado à obra de Johann Sebastian Bach, o Festival Bach (Bachfest) será realizado entre os dias 11 e 21 deste mês em Leipzig, no leste da Alemanha. Nos 11 dias do encontro, está prevista a realização de 212 atrações, principalmente concertos, mas também conferências, debates, exposições, performances e visitas a museus e a locais relacionados com Bach. Neste ano, o tema do Bachfest é Em Diálogo (Im Dialog). Como acontece todos os anos, Manhã com Bach antecipa músicas que serão apresentadas no Bachfest. Nesta edição, o podcast traz o Prelúdio e Fuga em Dó Maior (BWV 545), o Magnificat (BWV 243) - que serão apresentados no concerto de abertura do evento, no dia 11, às 17 horas locais - e o prelúdio coral Wachet auf, ruft uns die Stimme, "Despertai, a voz nos chama" (BWV 645), que será ouvido no sábado, dia 13. Com o tema Em Diálogo, o evento busca destacar os diferentes diálogos possíveis a partir da música de Bach, como explica o diretor artístico do Bachfest, Michael Maul, em entrevista publicada no site do evento. Segundo ele, a música de Bach é um permanente diálogo entre vozes individuais. "O que torna a técnica composicional de Bach especial é que, nele, todas as vozes são iguais e tomam parte no discurso musical por direito próprio. Mas o resultado não é caos nem cacofonia, mas a mais maravilhosa harmonia", afirma Maul na entrevista. Em outro sentido - continua o diretor artístico do Bachfest -, Bach promove complexos diálogos entre diferentes instrumentos, como acontece, por exemplo, com suas sonatas para violino e cravo e para viola da gamba e cravo. E Bach sempre demonstrou grande interesse pela música de outros compositores. Por isso o Bachfest deste ano vai apresentar a música de Bach dialogando com a obra de Buxtehude, Händel, Couperin, Vivaldi e outros compositores que inspiraram Bach. Ouça o podcast no link acima.

Quando a Princesa-Eleitora da Saxônia e Rainha da Polônia Christiane Eberhardine morreu, em 4 de setembro de 1727, um estudante da Universidade de Leipzig chamado Hans Carl von Kirchbach teve a ideia de promover, às suas próprias custas, uma cerimônia póstuma em homenagem à rainha, que seria realizada na Igreja de São Paulo, ligada à Universidade de Leipzig. Tendo obtido da direção da universidade permissão para realizar a cerimônia, Kirchbach encomendou uma cantata para ser exibida durante o evento. Para compor a música, ele contratou Bach, que trabalhava em Leipzig havia então quatro anos. Quanto à letra da cantata, ele pediu para o conceituado escritor, crítico literário e professor da Universidade de Leipzig Johann Christoph Gottsched. O resultado desse empenho de Hans Kirchbach é a cantata Lass, Fürstin, lass noch einen Strahl, “Deixa, princesa, deixa ainda um raio” (BWV 198), que foi apresentada no dia 17 de outubro de 1727, na Igreja de São Paulo da Universidade de Leipzig. Composta de duas partes e dez movimentos, a cantata é exibida nesta edição de Manhã com Bach. Christiane Eberhardine era venerada na Saxônia - região de predomínio do protestantismo e onde o próprio reformador Martim Lutero havia introduzido a Reforma Protestante dois séculos antes - porque ela se recusara a se converter ao catolicismo quando o seu marido, o rei Augusto II, o Forte, foi eleito rei da Polônia, em 1697. Para assumir o trono polonês, Augusto precisou renunciar ao protestantismo e adotar o catolicismo, no que não foi seguido pela esposa. Como mulher do rei, Christiane Eberhardine recebeu o título de Rainha da Polônia, mas se recusou a comparecer à cerimônia de posse do marido, onde seria coroada, e jamais pôs os pés na Polônia, apesar de toda a insistência de Augusto. Com isso, ela se tornou um símbolo da resistência protestante contra o catolicismo e uma espécie de protetora dos protestantes, que temiam que Augusto II implantasse uma contra-Reforma na Saxônia. Originalmente, a letra composta por Gottsched era um poema com nove estrofes. Bach faz uma série de modificações nessa estrutura, separando versos e com eles criando recitativos, árias e coros. Não há registro da reação de Gottsched a essas alterações, mas é bem possível que o famoso escritor e professor não tenha ficado muito satisfeito em ver seu texto alterado.

Kyrie, Gott heiliger Geist (Kyrie, God the Holy Spirit), BWV 671, Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750) - Robert Griffith by First Community Church

Estão preservadas nove cantatas de Johann Sebastian Bach para o Pentecoste, uma das três datas mais importantes do cristianismo, ao lado do Natal e da Páscoa. Uma dessas cantatas é intitulada Erschallet, ihr Lieder, erklinget, ihr Saiten!, “Ressoai, vós, canções, tocai, vós, cordas!” (BWV 172) - apresentada nesta edição de Manhã com Bach -, que foi ouvida pela primeira vez na corte de Weimar no domingo de Pentecoste de 1714. O podcast exibe ainda a Sonata para Violino e Cravo Número 5 em Fá Menor (BWV 1018). O Pentecoste - palavra de origem grega que significa “quinquagésimo” - lembra a descida do Espírito Santo sobre os apóstolos e discípulos de Jesus Cristo 50 dias após a Páscoa, conforme narrado no capítulo 2 de Atos dos Apóstolos, o quinto livro do Novo Testamento. Para os cristãos, essa manifestação do Espírito Santo marca o surgimento da igreja cristã e o início da sua missão evangelizadora na Terra. O Pentecoste tem origem na festa judaica do Shavuot ou festa das Semanas. Essa festa, celebrada sempre no quinquagésimo dia após a Páscoa, marca o início da colheita de trigo, como foi estabelecido no livro do Êxodo. Mais tarde, no século 2 da era atual, a data passou a ser associada também à entrega das Tábuas da Lei por Deus a Moisés no Monte Sinai. Se no judaísmo o Shavuot já era celebrado mais de mil anos antes de Cristo, no cristianismo o Pentecoste passou a ser festejado também muito cedo. O teólogo cristão egípcio Orígenes, um dos grandes pensadores do cristianismo primitivo, que viveu na primeira metade do século 3, já cita essa festa e faz comentários sobre ela em várias de suas homilias.

Today we celebrate the topping out of the Habsburg empire. By the middle of the 16th century it reached its furthest extent as a political entity ruled by one man. Over the last 42 episodes we have seen this family of minor counts playing their game of snakes and ladders until they had amassed lordships over Austria, the Netherlands, Spain and large parts of Italy. Today we look at how they finally got hold of the last bits, Bohemia and Hungary.The story features a dutiful younger brother, the most cruel execution I have ever heard of, a foolish duke and an even more foolish king, the collapse of a kingdom, a love story and the reason for the incessant Habsburg inbreeding. I hope that will be enough to fill the last episode of this season.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 PodcastFor do it yourself merchandise go to: Merchandise • 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.So far I have:The OttoniansSalian Emperors and Investiture ControversyFredrick Barbarossa and Early HohenstaufenFrederick II Stupor MundiSaxony and Eastward ExpansionThe Hanseatic LeagueThe Teutonic KnightsThe Holy Roman Empire 1250-1356The Reformation before the ReformationThe Empire in the 15th centuryThe Fall and Rise of the Habsburgs

Det fanns en oro i riket när de församlade ständerna den 16 juni 1527 steg in i dominikanernas kloster i Västerås för att samlas till Sveriges första riktiga riksdag med representation av alla fyra stånden.Gustav Vasa var pressad av upprorsrykten från Dalarna och stora skulder till Lübeck, men han hade en lösning – kyrkan skulle betala. Med mycken politisk teater, åtminstone enligt Peder Svarts krönika, lyckades Gustav vingklippa den mäktiga kyrkan och ta en stor del av deras rikedomar. Riksdagen blev också ett godkännande för en försiktig reformation.I detta avsnitt av podden Historia Nu samtalar programledaren Urban Lindstedt med historikern Olle Larsson som skrivit boken Gustav Vasa – Furstar bland furstar. Detta är ett betalt samarbete med Västersås stad i inför 500 års-jubileet av Västerås riksdag år 1527.Västerås år 1527 räknas ofta som den första riksdagen i modern mening därför att ständerna här framträder tydligare som politiska aktörer i en förhandlingsprocess. Omkring 200 ledamöter nämns, och kungen lade fram sin proposition medan ständerna gav egna svar – ett mönster som gör det möjligt att tala om en riksdag som institution snarare än ett utvidgat rådsmöte.Att riksdagen hamnade i Västerås var inte självklart. Den var ursprungligen tänkt att hållas i Söderköping, men de oroliga förhållandena, särskilt i Dalarna, gjorde platsvalet osäkert. Västerås låg strategiskt så att kungens militära uppbåd snabbt kunde sättas in om läget försämrades norrut.Själva mötet kunde inte hållas på slottet eftersom det var härjat av unionsstriderna, och därför samlades man i dominikanernas kloster. Att just klostret blev riksdagens arena är talande: kort efteråt revs byggnaden och teglet användes för att renovera slottet – ett konkret eko av hur kyrkans resurser skulle komma att styras om till kronans behov.Det är också viktigt att notera att representationen inte var fullständig; den östra rikshalvan, Finland, var inte representerad. Ändå var uppslutningen och dokumentationen tillräckligt stark för att ge besluten särskild tyngd och för att Västerås 1527 i efterhand ska uppfattas som en milstolpe i riksdagens framväxt.I svensk tradition berättas också hur Gustav Vasa under förhandlingarna spelade högt – bland annat genom att antyda att han kunde avsäga sig ansvaret att styra om han inte fick stöd. Själva förloppet är källkritiskt svårt att följa i detalj; en central berättande källa är Peder Svarts krönika, som är omdiskuterad. Utfallet är däremot entydigt: ständerna accepterade en kursändring som gjorde kyrkans rikedomar åtkomliga för kronan.Bildtext: Västerås riksdag.

We are coming closer to the end of our series on the Fall and Rise of the House of Habsburg. We have seen the reconsolidation of Austria, the acquisition of Burgundy, the inheritance of Spain and today, we will look at the last stages of the Italian wars. This conflict, kicked off by king Charles VIII in 1494 had given “rise to changes of dominions, subversion of kingdoms, desolation of countries, destruction of cities and the cruellest massacres, but also new fashions, new customs, new and bloody ways of waging warfare, and diseases which had been unknown to that time”. Many players of this game had exited stage left and it was now just France and the Habsburgs in various alliances with the remaining Italian powers, who fought for control. The War of the League of Cognac, 1526 to 1530 was when brutality reached its zenith with the Sacco di Roma, the Sack of Rome that brought back the specter of the Vandals.A lot of drama to get through.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 PodcastFor do it yourself merchandise go to: Merchandise • 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.So far I have:The OttoniansSalian Emperors and Investiture ControversyFredrick Barbarossa and Early HohenstaufenFrederick II Stupor MundiSaxony and Eastward ExpansionThe Hanseatic LeagueThe Teutonic KnightsThe Holy Roman Empire 1250-1356The Reformation before the ReformationThe Empire in the 15th centuryThe Fall and Rise of the Habsburgs

„Germany, twelve points!“ Europa wächst musikalisch schon lange vor dem ESC zusammen. Johann Sebastian Bach macht in seinen „Englischen Suiten“ aus französischen, italienischen und deutschen Einflüssen ein barockes Feuerwerk. Von Christoph Vratz.

In 1521 four men dominated Europe. They were all in their twenties: King Henry VIII of England, born 1491, King Francois I of France, born 1494, Suleiman the Magnificent, Ottoman Sultan, born that same year, 1494 and the youngest of them, Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor, King of Spain, Sicily, Naples and Sardinia, lord of the Netherlands, duke of Austria and Count of Tyrol.How the world had changed. In the days of Charles' predecessor, the emperor Maximilian, European politics was a impenetrable maze of alliances and enmities involving roughly a dozen mid-sized powers trying to get a leg up on each other.Now we are down to four guys, dancing a political Ceilidh, all elegantly dressed, swiftly moving and swapping partners at every turn.In this episode we are going to look at the first rounds of Gay Gordons and Dashing White Sergeants up to the point where Charles V gets a lock on Francois I at the Battle of Pavia in 1525The 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 PodcastFor do it yourself merchandise go to: Merchandise • 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.So far I have:The OttoniansSalian Emperors and Investiture ControversyFredrick Barbarossa and Early HohenstaufenFrederick II Stupor MundiSaxony and Eastward ExpansionThe Hanseatic LeagueThe Teutonic KnightsThe Holy Roman Empire 1250-1356The Reformation before the ReformationThe Empire in the 15th centuryThe Fall and Rise of the Habsburgs

Send us Fan MailWhy Is Bach Called the Father of Classical Music?Why is Johann Sebastian Bach often referred to as the “Father of Classical Music”?In this episode of The Classical Music Minute, we explore the lasting influence of one of history's greatest composers. Although Bach lived during the Baroque period, his work laid the foundation for much of the music that followed.Renowned for his mastery of counterpoint, Bach demonstrated how multiple independent musical lines could work together in harmony. His compositions, including The Well-Tempered Clavier and The Art of Fugue, are still studied today for their structural brilliance and expressive depth.Later composers such as Mozart, Beethoven, and Brahms learned from Bach's techniques, helping to carry his influence into the Classical and Romantic eras.In just sixty seconds, discover why Bach's music continues to shape the sound of classical music centuries later.Fun FactBach's music was largely forgotten after his death in 1750 until it was revived decades later—most notably when Felix Mendelssohn conducted a famous performance of the St. Matthew Passion in 1829, sparking renewed interest in his work.About The Classical Music MinuteThe Classical Music Minute is a short podcast exploring fascinating stories, quirky history, and surprising facts from the world of classical music—all in about sixty seconds.Each episode offers a quick and entertaining glimpse into composers, masterpieces, musical traditions, and the curious moments that shaped music history.You can also read the written versions of these episodes on Substack, where they're published as short articles delivered directly to subscribers.About Steven, HostSteven Hobé is a Canadian composer and actor based in Toronto and a member of the Canadian League of Composers.

Ladies and gentlemen, we have officially entered a timeline where classical music is controversial.Not lyrics glorifying violence. Not explicit content. Not even political propaganda. No, the problem—according to the ever-vigilant outrage patrol—is that stores like Walgreens and 7-Eleven are playing Bach and opera… and it's working. Fewer people loitering. Fewer encampments. Fewer disruptions to customers trying to buy toothpaste without stepping over a human tragedy.And somehow, that's the scandal.[X] SB – Classical music to keep Blacks awayScience behind it?Let's just say it out loud: at least it's not water cannons and German shepherds. Nobody's getting sprayed off the sidewalk like it's a 1960s newsreel. No one's being chased down an alley. It's violins, people. Cellos. A harpsichord having a quiet little moment.Johann Sebastian Bach is now apparently the face of systemic oppression.The psychology of why this works. The Left's selective compassion, which somehow has more energy for critiquing playlists than fixing homelessness. The economic reality for businesses stuck in the middle. And finally, the cultural irony of declaring classical music—arguably one of humanity's highest artistic achievements—as a tool of dehumanization.Because if Bach is the problem… then what exactly is the solution?See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Maximilian I died on January 12th, 1519. But his likeness is everywhere. None of his predecessors left behind as many depictions of their life, from being fed by his nurse as a toddler to the Totenbild, the picture of the emperor in death, stripped of all his paraphernalia, even his teeth broken out.If you search in google for the most reproduced image of a Holy Roman Emperor, two come up, the portrait of Maximilian that Albrecht Dürer produced in Augsburg in 1518, as shown on last weeks episode artwork and Titian's equestrian portrait of Charles V after the battle of Mühlberg, which in turn is a composition that goes back to several equestrian portraits of Maximilian I.Basically, Maximilian I is the most visually present Holy Roman emperor of them all. And that is not by chance. As he said on several occasions, quote:"Whoever does not provide for his commemoration during his lifetime has no commemoration after his death and is forgotten with the sound of the bell that rings at his burial"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 PodcastFor do it yourself merchandise go to: Merchandise • 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.So far I have:The OttoniansSalian Emperors and Investiture ControversyFredrick Barbarossa and Early HohenstaufenFrederick II Stupor MundiSaxony and Eastward ExpansionThe Hanseatic LeagueThe Teutonic KnightsThe Holy Roman Empire 1250-1356The Reformation before the ReformationThe Empire in the 15th centuryThe Fall and Rise of the Habsburgs

När Gustav II Adolf (1594-1632) landsteg i Pommern i juni 1630 är det med en av Europas bästa arméer. Kungen har reformerat den svenska armén genom lärdomar från faderns nederlag i Kirkholm 1605. Och Trettioåriga kriget (1618–1648) blev scenen där den reformerade armén prövades i slag som Breitenfelt, Lech och LützenSverige gick in i kriget med en berättelse om att försvara den protestantiska saken och stoppa den katolska offensiven i det Tysk-romerska riket. Budskapet förstärks av statlig propaganda med återkommande böndagar och texter som läses upp i kyrkorna där kriget framställs som nödvändigt.I detta avsnitt av podden Historia Nu samtalar programledaren Urban Lindstedt med historikerna Göran Larsson och Marco Smedberg om trettioåriga kriget, Sveriges inträde 1630, propagandaapparaten – och varför Gustav II Adolfs krigsmaskin fortsatte att fungera även efter kungens död.Gustav II Adolf driver på förändringar i hur krig förs: större rörlighet, tätare samverkan mellan infanteri, kavalleri och artilleri – och en mer offensiv kavalleritaktik än den äldre karakollen. Resultatet syns i slaget vid Breitenfeld den 17 september 1631, där en svensk-sachsisk armé besegrar Tilly och bryter den kejserliga framryckningen. Segern blir en tydlig demonstration av den svenska arméns eldkraft, rörlighet och ledning – och öppnar vägen för ett snabbt avancemang in i Tyskland.Slaget vid Lech vid Rain am Lech den 14–15 april 1632 blev ett av Gustav II Adolfs viktigaste genombrott under trettioåriga kriget. För att ta sig förbi den starka kejserliga spärren lät svenskarna bygga broar över den svullna floden under hård beskjutning. När övergången väl lyckades pressades Tillys trupper tillbaka och den berömde fältherren sårades svårt; han avled kort därefter. Segern öppnade vägen in i Bayern och skakade kejsarsidan.Den 6 november 1632 rider Gustav II Adolf rakt in i ett kaos av krutrök, brinnande hus och dimma vid slaget vid Lützen. Svenskarna kan efteråt hävda seger, men priset blir högt: kungen stupar och de svenska förlusterna uppgår till omkring 6 000 döda och sårade. Kungen krigsmaskin och hans statsbygge överlever honom. Han blir en martyrgestalt – samtidigt som stormaktens verkliga motor i längden visar sig vara diplomati, pengar och administration.Trettioåriga kriget börjar som en konflikt i det Tysk-romerska riket, där reformationens olösta motsättningar skapat ett lapptäcke av furstendömen med olika bekännelser och intressen. När spänningarna briserar 1618 – efter den berömda defenestrationen i Prag – dras snabbt fler makter in. Det som först handlar om religion utvecklas snart till en kamp om Europas maktbalans, där Habsburgarnas ställning utmanas av olika motkoalitioner.Allt detta kräver pengar. En mycket stor del av statens inkomster går till försvaret, och här blir Axel Oxenstiernas roll avgörande. Bättre förvaltning och ordning i finanserna gör det möjligt att planera, försörja och hålla arméer i fält. Samtidigt finns en gräns: en skattestat kan inte pressa sönder sin egen bas. Driver man bönderna för hårt riskerar man ödegårdar – och då försvinner också skatteunderlaget.Efter Gustav II Adolfs död vid Lützen fortsätter kriget ändå. Generalerna i fält och statsförvaltningen hemma gör att systemet fungerar även utan kungens personliga ledning. Stormaktstidens logik blir tydlig: projektet är större än personen.Bild: Sveriges kung Gustav II Adolf (1594–1632) skildras i slaget vid Breitenfeld 1631, en vändpunkt i Trettioåriga kriget som ofta lyfts i poddens avsnitt om Sveriges stormaktstid.

Fantasia super All Glory Laud and Honor (Valet will ich dir geben), BWV 735 Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750) by First Community Church

Neste episódio, a partir do Dia Internacional da Mãe Terra, refletimos sobre a Terra como um lar comum e vivo, que sustenta e interliga todas as formas de vida. A conversa propõe uma visão filosófica que vai além do aspecto material, convidando a reconhecer a natureza como um sistema integrado, onde tudo se relaciona. São abordados os impactos das ações humanas no equilíbrio do planeta e a necessidade de resgatar uma relação mais consciente e respeitosa com a natureza. A integração entre ciência e filosofia surge como um caminho para compreender melhor essas inter-relações e inspirar novas formas de agir. Por fim, o episódio destaca a importância da fraternidade e da colaboração como princípios naturais da vida, apontando que o reconhecimento da unidade entre todos os seres pode conduzir a uma existência mais harmônica e significativa. Participantes: Roberto Pértile e Danilo Gomes Trilha Sonora: Suíte para Orquestra nº 2 em Si menor, BWV 1067 – Rondo, de Johann Sebastian Bach

The last decade of emperor Maximilian's reign was overshadowed by all three challenges to the emerging Habsburg empire gaining strength. The Ottoman empire was piling on resources by taking over Syria, Lebanon and Egypt. A vigorous new king of France, Francois I was turning the tide in the incessant Italian wars into his favor. And finally the greatest of threats to the dynasty emerged as the Prince Electors were contemplating to raise that self-same Francois I to the imperial title.In this episode we will look at how the prematurely aged and exhausted emperor tried to shield his grandsons Charles and Ferdinand from the ton of bricks that was coming down on them. And we will look at his last days and legacy. Clocking in at 18 episodes, Maximilian did achieve one of his objectives in life, outpacing the great emperor Frederick Barbarossa. Let's find out whether he did this only in terms of number of HotGPod episodes, or in other ways too.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 PodcastFor do it yourself merchandise go to: Merchandise • 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.So far I have:The OttoniansSalian Emperors and Investiture ControversyFredrick Barbarossa and Early HohenstaufenFrederick II Stupor MundiSaxony and Eastward ExpansionThe Hanseatic LeagueThe Teutonic KnightsThe Holy Roman Empire 1250-1356The Reformation before the ReformationThe Empire in the 15th centuryThe Fall and Rise of the Habsburgs

Happy “Tax Day”! I wonder what the American Revolutionary Founders would think of ‘Tax Day’, on this momentous 250th Anniversary of our American Independence…? Links Videos / Clips [x] = Played The NewsHour with Jim Lehrer – American Archive of Public Broadcasting [x] 48:56--49:39 JIM LEHRER: What is the proper relationship, what should be the proper relationship between a chairman of the Fed and a president of the United States? ALAN GREENSPAN: Well, first of all, the Federal Reserve is an independent agency, and that means, basically, that there is no other agency of government which can overrule actions that we take. So long as that is in place and there is no evidence that the administration or the Congress or anybody else is requesting that we do things other than what we think is the appropriate thing, then what the relationships are don’t, frankly, matter. And I’ve had very good relationships with presidents. 1. [x] Understanding Fractional Reserve Banking: How It Fuels Economic Growth Fractional reserve banking is the banking system most countries use today. It requires banks to hold only a fraction of the money their customers deposit. That amount is the reserve requirement, and in most countries, it is set by the central bank. Banks can loan the rest of their deposits to other customers, which serves to expand the economy. It works like this. Banks accept deposits from individuals and businesses providing them with savings and checking accounts in return. Banks can loan out the bulk of those deposits to other customers to buy homes or cars, start businesses, or to fund other projects. If a customer deposits $100,000 into a bank and the reserve requirement is 5%, the bank can loan $95,000 out to other customers. Once the bank has loaned out $95,000, it in essence has created $195,000. Customers borrow that $95,000 and deposit some or all of it into other banks. If the reserve requirement is still 5%, then the other banks can loan $90,250 to new customers. And the process keeps repeating itself. Financial crisis occurs when the fractional banking system breaks down and the money supply does not expand. Many US banks had to shut down during the Great Depression, because so many people attempted to withdraw their money at the same time. Today, safeguards exist to prevent such an occurrence. 1.

[x] Letter from Thomas Jefferson to Samuel Kercheval (1816) – Teaching American History We must make our election between economy and liberty, or profusion and servitude. If we run into such debts, as that we must be taxed in our meat and in our drink, in our necessaries and our comforts, in our labors and our amusements, for our callings and our creeds, as the people of England are, our people, like them, must come to labor sixteen hours in the twenty-four, give the earnings of fifteen of these to the government for their debts and daily expenses; and the sixteenth being insufficient to afford us bread, we must live, as they now do, on oatmeal and potatoes; have no time to think, no means of calling the mismanagers to account; but be glad to obtain subsistence by hiring ourselves to rivet their chains on the necks of our fellow-sufferers. Our landholders, too, like theirs, retaining indeed the title and stewardship of estates called theirs, but held really in trust for the treasury, must wander, like theirs, in foreign countries, and be contented with penury, obscurity, exile, and the glory of the nation. This example reads to us the salutary lesson, that private fortunes are destroyed by public as well as by private extravagance. And this is the tendency of all human governments. A departure from principle in one instance becomes a precedent for a second; that second for a third; and so on, till the bulk of the society is reduced to be mere automatons of misery, and to have no sensibilities left but for sinning and suffering. Then begins, indeed, the bellum omnium in omnia, which some philosophers observing to be so general in this world, have mistaken it for the natural, instead of the abusive state of man. And the fore horse of this frightful team is public debt. Taxation follows that, and in its train wretchedness and oppression. [x] Andrew Jackson, Farewell Address (Mar 4, 1837) | The American Presidency Project The severe lessons of experience will, I doubt not, be sufficient to prevent Congress from again chartering such a monopoly, even if the Constitution did not present an insuperable objection to it. But you must remember, my fellow-citizens, that eternal vigilance by the people is the price of liberty, and that you must pay the price if you wish to secure the blessing. It behooves you, therefore, to be watchful in your States as well as in the Federal Government. The power which the moneyed interest can exercise, when concentrated under a single head and with our present system of currency, was sufficiently demonstrated in the struggle made by the Bank of the United States.

[x] hypothecate – definition and meaning [x] Websters 1828 – Webster’s Dictionary 1828 – Hypothecate HYPOTH’ECATE, verb transitive [Latin hypotheca, a pledge; Gr. to put under, to suppose.] 1. To pledge, and properly to pledge the keel of a ship, that is, the ship itself, as security for the repayment of money borrowed to carry on a voyage. In this case the lender hazards the loss of his money by the loss of the ship, but if the ship returns safe, he received his principal, with the premium or interest agreed on, though it may exceed the legal rate of interest. 2. To pledge, as goods. [x] 321gold: Gold and Economic Freedom by Alan Greenspan 1966 In the absence of the gold standard, there is no way to protect savings from confiscation through inflation. There is no safe store of value. If there were, the government would have to make its holding illegal, as was done in the case of gold. If everyone decided, for example, to convert all his bank deposits to silver or copper or any other good, and thereafter declined to accept checks as payment for goods, bank deposits would lose their purchasing power and government-created bank credit would be worthless as a claim on goods. The financial policy of the welfare state requires that there be no way for the owners of wealth to protect themselves. This is the shabby secret of the welfare statists’ tirades against gold. Deficit spending is simply a scheme for the confiscation of wealth. Gold stands in the way of this insidious process. It stands as a protector of property rights. If one grasps this, one has no difficulty in understanding the statists’ antagonism toward the gold standard.

Accessed 15 Apr. 2026. It has been confirmed that the Tsarnaev family, at least to some degree, have been connected to the Central Intelligence Agency for almost 20 years. In 1995, Ruslan Tsarni (formerly known as Ruslan Tsarnaev, affectionately known as “Uncle Ruslan,” the American corporate media darling who bemoaned the alleged actions of his nephews Dzhokar and Tamerlan Tsarnaev ) married the daughter of the former Deputy Director of the CIA's National Council on Intelligence, Graham Fuller. While the marriage of Samantha Ankara Fuller and Ruslan Tsarnaev was short-lived, reportedly ending in divorce in 1999, it appears that Ruslan and Graham Fuller were more than just father-in-law and son.  They may also been business partners. These key details in the history of the Tsarnaev family and the CIA were first reported by Daniel Hopsicker of Mad Cow Morning News, and the marriage of Fuller's daughter and Ruslan has indeed been confirmed by Al-Monitor reporter, Laura Rozen. ↩ Hopsicker, Daniel. “Boston Bombers' Uncle Married Daughter of Top CIA Official.” MadCow Morning News, 26 Apr. 2013, www.madcowprod.com/2013/04/26/boston-bombers-uncle-married-daughter-of-top-cia-official/.

These last dozen or so episodes we have examined the genesis of two of the three major strategic preoccupations of the Habsburg empire, the rivalry with the French kings and the relationship with the imperial princes. Today we will look at the build-up of the third major strategic challenge to the rulers of the Holy Roman Empire, the Ottomans. One can argue, and many have, that the threat of an Ottoman invasion in the 1520s and 1530s prevented the emperor Charles V from clamping down on the protestants in the empire. By the time the border had been stabilised and the Habsburgs could focus again on the religious and political changes in the German lands, it was too late to reverse events. There is an element of irony here that I will refrain from elaborating on.When Constantinople fell in 1453, the Christian nations of Western Europe assumed that they could regain the ancient capital of Byzantium and even Jerusalem if only they were united under the crusading banner. By the time Suleiman the Magnificent appeared before Belgrade in 1521, that had become inconceivable. The Christian nations, and in particular the Habsburgs were on their back foot.So, what had happened in these 70 years that made the Ottoman armies appear unbeatable?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 PodcastFor do it yourself merchandise go to: Merchandise • 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.So far I have:The OttoniansSalian Emperors and Investiture ControversyFredrick Barbarossa and Early HohenstaufenFrederick II Stupor MundiSaxony and Eastward ExpansionThe Hanseatic LeagueThe Teutonic KnightsThe Holy Roman Empire 1250-1356The Reformation before the ReformationThe Empire in the 15th centuryThe Fall and Rise of the Habsburgs

You have almost certainly seen the image in today's episode artwork before. It is a family portrait showing Maximilian, his first wife Marie of Burgundy, his son, Philip the Handsome and three children. When Bernhard Strigel painted this image in around the year 1516, Philip the Handsome was already dead for 10 years and Marie of Burgundy had gone more than 30 years before. Then there are the inscriptions over the heads of these well-known and easily identifiable figures. There is a lot of Habsburg chin on show here. But they do not describe Maximilian as emperor, but as Cleophas, blood brother of Joseph, husband of the divine Virgin Mary, Marie of Burgundy is Mary Cleophas, sister of the Virgin Mary, and Philip the Handsome as James the Lesser, apostle and son of the other two. Two of the three little boys are named as Joseph the Just and Simon the Zealot, the cousin of the lord. Who are these saints? Well they do appear in the bible, so they are real, but in very minor roles. One of them was even rejected as an apostle. But they do have something special, they are Jesus' aunt, uncle, nephews and cousin. And since he had died without offspring, his heirs. So this is a picture about succession and inheritance, not necessarily about family love.Ok, making the emperor the brother in law of Joseph is quite odd already, but let's talk about the three children. They were all alive when this picture was painted and roughly the age they are depicted as. The one in the middle is Charles, the future emperor Charles V. And the little boy cuddling up to Maximilian is his brother Ferdinand, the future emperor Ferdinand I., again identified as holy nephew and cousin. But who is the third child? Well, that is Louis, the future king Louis II of Hungary and Bohemia, son of king Vladislav II and his French wife Anne de Foix. So no close blood relation. What does he do in one of the most famous Habsburg family portraits? It must have something to do with succession and inheritance.That is indeed what we are going to talk about today. Little Louis will be the key to the creation of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, this agglomeration of lands centered around Austria, Czechia and Hungary that stayed or was made to stay together for nearly 400 years.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 PodcastFor do it yourself merchandise go to: Merchandise • 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.So far I have:The OttoniansSalian Emperors and Investiture ControversyFredrick Barbarossa and Early HohenstaufenFrederick II Stupor MundiSaxony and Eastward ExpansionThe Hanseatic LeagueThe Teutonic KnightsThe Holy Roman Empire 1250-1356The Reformation before the ReformationThe Empire in the 15th centuryThe Fall and Rise of the Habsburgs

St. John Passion — the complex masterpiece by Johann Sebastian Bach tells the story of Jesus during his final days. It's a work that speaks to the heart of the Christian narrative, which itself lies at the heart of Western culture. Tafelmusik Chamber Choir Director Ivars Taurins and music broadcaster Robert Harris zoom in on the work from the conductor's perspective to show how the notes translate into meaning — at a level of detail we listeners rarely discern.

“Bella gerant alii, tu felix Austria nube" – ‘Let others wage war; thou, happy Austria, marry' is one of the few terms that almost anyone with a cursory interest in European history knows, only rivalled by the Voltaire quote thou shall not utter in my presence ever. It evokes the image of a handsome alpine boy full of charm and apple strudel wooing some princess into peacefully handing over the richest lands is Europe. And this narrative of peaceful transition to a benign dynasty is another one of the great propaganda successes of the house of Habsburg.The saying was attributed to Matthias Corvinus, the king of Hungary who had once occupied Vienna, then to the humanist Ulrich von Hutten, but first evidence of its use dates back to 1654, more than 150 years after the famous marriages that made an empire. From 1680 it was read out at Habsburg weddings to emphasise the peaceful nature of its rulers.It definitely did not originate in the days of Maximilian I when all these dynastic alliances were formed and bore fruit. Talking about gentle and peaceful transition was preposterous against the backdrop of a 15 -year long war over the succession to the grand Dukes of Burgundy, and the roller coaster ride that is today's topic, the way the Habsburgs acquired the crown of Spain.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 PodcastFor do it yourself merchandise go to: Merchandise • 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.So far I have:The OttoniansSalian Emperors and Investiture ControversyFredrick Barbarossa and Early HohenstaufenFrederick II Stupor MundiSaxony and Eastward ExpansionThe Hanseatic LeagueThe Teutonic KnightsThe Holy Roman Empire 1250-1356The Reformation before the ReformationThe Empire in the 15th centuryThe Fall and Rise of the Habsburgs
