Synopsis In the summer of 1824, the fifteen-year-old Mendelssohn spent a holiday with his father in the fashionable spa town of Bad Doberan, on the Baltic coast near Rostock. Writing home to his family in Berlin he confessed that, although he was "comfortably lodged… with friendly people, a decent piano, [and a] pretty view... so far I have not written a note." That would change, however, as Mendelssohn befriended musicians employed by the local Grand Duke of Mecklenburg-Schwerin, whose court ensemble was a wind-band. For them, the young Mendelssohn composed a Nocturno, scored for the classical octet of double winds, plus a flute, trumpet, and an odd brass instrument called a “Como Inglese di Basso," roughly similar in shape to a bassoon, but with a cup mouthpiece and both open and keyed holes. Mendelssohn described it in a letter he wrote on today's date in 1824 as "a large brass instrument with a fine, deep tone, that looks like a watering can or a stirrup pump." Music for that original 1824 Nocturno has not survived, but eventually Mendelssohn reworked and enlarged the piece, adding new music, and much later, in 1838, expanded the scoring to a full wind ensemble and published the result as his Overture for Winds, Op. 24. Music Played in Today's Program Felix Mendelssohn (1809-1847) – Overture for Winds, Op. 24 (London Symphony; Claudio Abbado, cond.) DG 423 104

Synopsis Few of us today really know–or care–very much about the War of Austrian Succession, a conflict that troubled Europe in the 18th century. For music lovers, it’s enough to know that to celebrate the end of that war, George Frideric Handel was commissioned to compose music for a fireworks concert in London’s Green Park, an event that took place on today’s date in the year 1749. Back then there were no such things as microphones and loudspeakers, so Handel’s score called for a huge military band of 24 oboes, 9 horns, 9 trumpets, 3 sets of timpani, 12 bassoons, 2 contrabassoons—and strings. When King George II was told about it, he balked a little at the expense: “Well, at least I hope there won’t be any fiddles,” he commented, and so Handel was informed the strings were definitely off. A public rehearsal was held at the Vauxhall Gardens and a London newspaper reported that 100 musicians performed for an audience of more than 12,000, causing a 3-hour traffic jam of carriages and pedestrians on London Bridge. The official event with fireworks went off with a bang–as well as a few fires breaking out.

If you're looking for the historic legacy of Tennessee Whiskey, you do not want to miss our livestream tonight! Charlie Nelson, great-great-great grandson of Nelson's Green Briar Distillery founder Charles Nelson, is joining us to chat with Pedro about how he's relaunching the family's brand for the first time since 1909.--Follow us:spiritguidesocietypodcast.comfacebook.com/spiritguidesoctwitter.com/spiritguidesocinstagram.com/spiritguidesocyoutube.com/c/SpiritGuideSociety/?sub_confirmation=1--About Nelson's Green Briar: (greenbrierdistillery.com)The Nelson's Green Brier HeritageCharles Nelson was born July 4, 1835 in Hagenow, a small town in the Mecklenburg-Schwerin state of northern Germany. He was the eldest of six children whose father, John Philip Nelson, owned a soap and candle factory. When Charles was 15, his father decided he wanted to move his family to America for a better life. He sold his soap and candle factory, converted all of the family's earthly possessions to gold and had special clothing made to hold all of that gold on his person during the journey. In late October of 1850, he gathered his family and boarded the Helena Sloman to set sail for America. As fate would have it, on November 19 of that year, intense storms and gale force winds sent many of the nearly 180 passengers overboard. John Philip Nelson was one of those unfortunate souls and weighed down by the family fortune, he sank directly to the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean. Luckily, the rest of the family arrived safely in New York, but with only the clothes on their backs, and 15 year-old Charles found himself man of the house.The Move to NashvillePenniless yet determined, Charles and his brother began doing the only thing they knew how to do: making soap and candles. After saving some money, the Nelson family moved west, settling in Cincinnati, Ohio. It was there that Charles, merely 17 years of age, entered the butcher business and acquainted himself with a number of fellow craftsmen who educated him in the art of producing and selling distilled spirits, particularly whiskey.Several years later, just before the start of the Civil War, Charles set out for Nashville seeking a fresh start and another American dream took tenuous root. He opened a grocery store which flourished from sales of his three best-selling products: coffee, meat and whiskey. The quality of both his products and service quickly built Charles a reputation that went unmatched in Nashville's merchant circles. His honesty and fair dealings brought about great prosperity for his business as well as an elevated social status in the community. Very quickly however, Charles realized that the demand for his whiskey far exceeded his supply, revealing to him the opportunity to focus solely on whiskey. So he sold the grocery business. Legend has it the blend of coffee was then brought to the Maxwell House Hotel in downtown Nashville, where patrons would later proclaim it as “good to the last drop”. His butcher stayed in business and the store soon grew into a successful Nashville-based grocery chain that is still in business today.Beginnings Of A DistilleryCharles bought the distillery that was making his whiskey in Greenbrier, TN, and a patent for improved distillation. He expanded the production capacity in order to keep up with demand. With this expansion, Nelson was not only creating more jobs, he was making a name for Tennessee Whiskey. By 1885, there were hundreds of whiskey distilleries in Tennessee, but only a handful were producing significant volume. That year, Charles Nelson sold nearly 380,000 gallons, that's around 2 million bottles, of Nelson's Green Brier Tennessee Whiskey. In comparison other well-known brands had a maximum production capacity of just 23,000 gallons at that time. Green Brier Tennessee Whiskey was in such demand that it was being sold in markets ranging from Jacksonville, FL to San Francisco, CA to Paris, France, to Moscow, Russia, and the Philippines. This reach of distribution was possible in part because Charles was one of the first to sell whiskey in bottles rather than selling it by the jug or the barrel. The distillery, which was commonly known as “Old Number Five” due to the fact that it was registered distillery number five and was located in the fifth tax district, became a favorite stop of federal regulators and tax inspectors due to the warmth and hospitality shown to them by Charles and his employees. It is safe to say that by introducing the category of Tennessee Whiskey to the world and offering a superior product, Charles Nelson had indeed become a household name but after decades of great struggle and brilliant triumph, Charles Nelson passed away on December 13, 1891. His wife Louisa assumed control of the business, becoming one of the only women of her time to run a distillery.ProhibitionIn 1909, statewide Prohibition was adopted in Tennessee. This forced Louisa to discontinue operations and Nelson's Green Brier Distillery closed its doors. The property in Greenbrier was sold and as the years went by the once great distillery was dismantled and fell into disrepair. Presently, the grain house and a barrel warehouse stand, the spring still runs, the property is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and descendants of distillery employees recount stories passed down to them about how their ancestors once proudly made the whiskey that made Greenbrier world famous. TodayOn a hot summer day in 2006, Bill Nelson invited his two sons, Andy and Charlie, to go see a butcher in Greenbrier, Tennessee. As the three men drove to Greenbrier, they recalled the stories that had been passed down to them about the family whiskey business that had been located in the small town.When the trio arrived and started asking questions about the old Nelson Distillery, the butcher, Chuck, could hardly contain his excitement. “Look across the street over there,” Chuck exclaimed. “Your granddaddy built that warehouse. This street is Distillery Road, you know, and that spring, it's never stopped running. It's as pure as pure can be.”Bill, Andy and Charlie eagerly walked over to explore the land that was once home to the nation's largest producer and supplier of Tennessee Whiskey. After quenching their thirst with the crisp, cool spring water, Chuck pointed them in the direction of the Greenbrier Historical Society.Here, the Nelsons met with the curator, who revealed her most prized possessions: two original bottles of Nelson's Green Brier Tennessee Whiskey.For a moment, time stood still.It was love at first sight. Charlie and Andy stared at the perfectly preserved bottles and then looked back at one another, knowing what the other was thinking: “This is our destinyWith sincere conviction, they made a pact to bring the family whiskey business back to life.After three years of research, planning and hard work, the Nelsons re-formed the business that had closed exactly 100 years earlier in 1909 during Prohibition. With the spirit in their blood, Charlie and Andy followed their hearts, devoting their lives to resurrecting Nelson's Green Brier Whiskey and producing top-quality product, appreciated by aficionados everywhere.About Charlie & Andy NelsonBrothers Andy Nelson and Charlie Nelson have always had a lot in common. Both graduated from Loyola Marymount with degrees in the Humanities concentrating on Philosophy; both are history buffs, true southern gentlemen and proud of their family roots. But when they set out to resurrect Nelson's Green Brier Distillery, founded in the 1800s by their great-great-great grandfather Charles Nelson, the boys realized their kinship ran deeper than blood. They both had spirit pulsing through their veins. So in their mere 20s, the Nelson brothers have set on a grand journey—not just to make and sell whiskey—but to rebuild a business that helped bring the term 'Tennessee Whiskey' to America and Europe. Through researching, seeking capital, crafting brands from Charles Nelson's original recipes and putting bottles of their small-batch bourbon on shelves, they are the essence of the American dream and spirit.--Samba Isobel by Kevin MacLeodLink: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/4316-samba-isobelLicense: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/

Cherenkov observed the emission of blue light from a bottle of water subjected to radioactive bombardment. This phenomenon, associated with charged atomic particles moving at velocities greater than the phase velocity of light, proved to be of great importance in subsequent experimental work in nuclear physics, and for the study of cosmic rays. Eponymously, it was dubbed the Cherenkov effect, as was the Cherenkov detector, which has become a standard piece of equipment in atomic research for observing the existence and velocity of high-speed particles. He died at the age of 85 in Moscow,Russian SFSR. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pavel_Cherenkov6 Jan 1990 - Ian Charleson, Scottish stage and film actor.

He was an advocate of the historicity of places mentioned in the works of Homer and an archaeological excavator of Hisarlik, now presumed to be the site of Troy, along with the Mycenaean sites Mycenae and Tiryns. His work lent weight to the idea that Homer's Iliad reflects historical events. Schliemann's excavation of nine levels of archaeological remains with dynamite has been criticized as destructive of significant historical artifacts, including the level that is believed to be the historical Troy. Schliemann's famous finds include Priam's Treasure, a cache of gold jewellery discovered in 1873. Schliemann was also the excavator of the bronze age site of Mycenae in North Greece, where he found the so-called "Mask of Agamemnon" in 1876.

Atkinson often plays authority figures speaking absurd lines with a completely deadpan delivery. He was born in Consett,County Durham - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rowan_AtkinsonEvents of Interest6 January 1873: Crédit Mobilier of America scandal investigated, this led to the censure of Oakes Ames of Massachusetts and James Brooks of New York. This scandal showed how corruption tainted Gilded Age politics, and the lengths railroads and other economic interests would go to assure and increase profits. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cr%C3%A9dit_Mobilier_scandal6 Jan 1912 - German geophysicistAlfred Wegener first presents his theory of continental drift. He hypothesized that that the continents are slowly drifting around the Earth. He suggested that the continents were once a single landmass and gradually drifted apart, either because of the centrifugal force of the Earth’s rotation, or astronomical precession. Wegener also originally thought mid-ocean ridges might play some role, since the Atlantic seafloor “is continuously tearing open and making space for fresh, relatively fluid and hot [material rising] from depth.” But he eventually abandoned those notions. - https://www.aps.org/publications/apsnews/201901/history.cfm6 Jan 1950 – The United Kingdom recognizes the People's Republic of China.

Teil 4: Hutsalon, Kürschnerei, Kreativ-Hof und Schmiede: Kunst-Handwerker in Mecklenburg-Schwerin Der Hutsalon Rieger in Schwerin Fein herausgeputzt: Sagen Sie bloß nicht „Hutmacher“. Damit outen Sie sich als kompletter Dilettant. Genoveva Rieger und ihre Tochter Marie-Antonett sind „Putzmacherinnen“. http://hutsalon-rieger.de Die Kürschnerei Götz Weidner in Schwerin Ein Pelz fürs Leben: Wer bei der Kürschnerei an reiche, alte Damen in schweren, langen Pelzmänteln denkt, erlebt im Atelier von Götz Weidner in Schwerin eine Überraschung. Flauschig, leicht und kurz geschnitten sind die Jacken in der Auslage. http://www.weidner-pelze.de Der Rothener Hof Selbermachen als Wertschätzung: Am Anfang war der Kuhstall. Ein architektonisch reizvolles Gebäude, zu schade, um es verfallen zu lassen. Und so gründete sich im Jahr 2000 in Rothen ein Verein, um den Kuhstall zu erhalten und wieder zu beleben. Heute sind dort sieben verschiedene Werkstätten angesiedelt, und jeder Handwerker besetzt eine besondere Nische. Eine Metallwerkstatt, eine Möbeltischlerei, eine Druckerei mit Handpressen, eine Obst-Mosterei und eine Gaststätte bilden die Gemeinschaft im Rothener Hof. Wirtschaftlich gesehen, ein „Mikro-Cluster“, der perfekt ineinander greift und immer weiter wächst. 2009 eröffnete die Glas- und Medienkünstlerin Daniela Melzig ihr Atelier. Achim Behrens ist von Haus aus eigentlich Tischler. http://www.rothenerhof.de Die Schmiede Radsack in Stresdorf Familienbetrieb der Zukunft: Tradition bedeutet, das Althergebrachte nicht nur kommenden Generationen zu überliefern, sondern immer weiter zu entwickeln und neuen Bedürfnissen anzupassen. Manchmal entsteht daraus wie im Handumdrehen ein neuer Geschäftszweig. So war es in der Schmiede Radsack in Stresdorf bei Gadebusch. Birger und Coco Radsack suchten eigentlich nur nach einer Unterbringung für ihren Praktikanten. Herausgekommen sind schließlich hochmoderne mobile Wohnungen, neudeutsch: Tiny houses genannt. https://www.schmiede-radsack.de Die Interviews führte meine Verlagskollegin Corinna Hesse. Sie hat mit den kreativen Machern gesprochen – über das Handwerk, über das Leben, über die Zukunft. Kulturlandschaften im Norden Die ManufakTouren-Route entstand für die Metropolregion Hamburg im Rahmen des Leitprojektes KulturLandschaftsRouten (2016-2018). Entwickelt wurden insgesamt fünf neue Erlebnisrouten sowie Hörgeschichten mit je 15 bis 20 Tracks pro Region, die zu Hause oder per Smartphone auch unterwegs gehört werden können.

Teil 3: Porzellan- und Textilmanufaktur, Gravur-Atelier: Kunst-Handwerker in Mecklenburg-Schwerin Die erste Mecklenburgische Porzellanmanufaktur in Sukow Gefäße aus Licht: Um aus Tonerde das „weiße Gold“ herzustellen, braucht es Geduld. Die Werkstatt von Kerstin Behrens in Sukow ist zweigeteilt. Die erste Abteilung ist der „Manschraum“. Hier wird die Porzellanmasse zusammengerührt und gebrannt. Dann beginnt Kerstin Behrens im lichtdurchfluteten Atelier zu malen. Vor dem ersten Pinselstrich allerdings kommt eine Art Ritual. http://porzellan-manufaktur.de Die Manufaktur Basthorst Filzen als Philosophie: Wer die Textilgestalterin Claudia Stark in ihrer Manufaktur Basthorst bei Crivitz besucht, gewinnt zunächst vor allem eins: Zeit! https://claudia-stark.jimdo.com/werkstatt-laden Die Graveurmeisterin Carola Frericks in Schwerin In der Tiefe glänzend: Ein Frauenberuf, der auf die Knochen geht. Wenn Carola Frericks in ihrem Atelier in der Schweriner Münzstraße den Stichel in das Metall treibt, dann ist das Schwerstarbeit. http://www.gravur-manufaktur.de Die Interviews führte meine Verlagskollegin Corinna Hesse.

Holzbildhauerei, Taschenmanufaktur, Uhren, Kindermöbel: Die Holzbildhauermeisterin Silke Krempien in Schwerin Auf Spurensuche: Für die einen ist es ein Stück Holz. Für Silke Krempien offenbart sich das Geheimnis eines Baumlebens, wenn sie den Rohstoff für ihre Kunstwerke in den Händen hält. Denn in jedem Holz lässt sich das Wachstum des Baumes nach-lesen. http://www.gedok-mv.eu/kuenstlerinnen/krempien.html Die Taschen-Manufaktur Red Rebane in Schwerin Mein Freund, der Rucksack: In der offenen und lichtdurchfluteten Werkstatt von Christian Karius und Stephan Porth in der Schweriner Möwenburgstraße wird alles noch von Hand gefertigt. Christian entwirft neue Designs und schneidet die Stoffe zu, zwei Näherinnen fügen alles zusammen. Stephan ist für den Einkauf zuständig. https://www.red-rebane.de Der „Klockenschauster“ von Schwerin Alles zu seiner Zeit: Eigentlich heißt er ja Hans-Joachim Dikow. Aber er ist eine Instanz in der Schelfstadt von Schwerin. Und als solche wird der Uhrmacher einfach „Klockenschauster“ genannt. https://www.de-klockenschauster.de Kindermöbel aus Dömitz Schnurstracks eingenommen: Viele Erfinder entwickeln ihre Ideen aus einem eigenen Bedürfnis heraus und gar nicht in erster Linie für einen Markt. Aber wo ein eigenes Bedürfnis ist, könnte es ja sein, dass auch andere Menschen so etwas brauchen. So wurden Tim und Sabine Schinkel zu Produzenten von Kindermöbeln. https://www.timkid.de Die Interviews führte meine Verlagskollegin Corinna Hesse.

Die weite Landschaft Mecklenburgs zieht Naturliebhaber an und Menschen mit Sinn für das Schöne. Und so kommt es, dass sich hier immer mehr Handwerker und Künstler ansiedeln. Sie suchen Inspiration in der Natur und genießen den Platz, um ihrer Fantasie freien Lauf zu lassen. Tradition und Innovation: Viele der in der Region ansässigen Produzenten üben ein traditionelles Handwerk aus. Mit neuen Ideen und moderner Technik führen sie die Traditionen in die Zukunft. Manche ihrer Berufe sind andernorts fast ausgestorben. Dennoch spüren alle Menschen, die mit eigenen Händen etwas schaffen, eine tiefe innere Befriedigung – gerade in Zeiten digitaler, virtueller Welten. Und so regt der Besuch in den Manufakturen im Garten- und Seenland Mecklenburg-Schwerin auch zum Nachdenken über das eigene Leben an. Was erwarten wir eigentlich von unserem Beruf? Welche Werte stecken in den Produkten, die uns umgeben? Wie gehen wir mit unseren Ressourcen um? Handwerk als Berufung: Die Handwerker im Garten- und Seenland Mecklenburg-Schwerin sprechen gern mit den Besuchern – über ihr Schaffen und über ihre Lebensphilosophie. Eine Haltung, die sich auf andere Menschen in ihrem Umfeld überträgt. Denn viele der Produzenten gestalten nicht nur ihre Werke, sondern auch den Ort, an dem sie leben, aktiv mit. Corinna Hesse hat mit diese kreativen Machern gesprochen – über das Handwerk, über das Leben, über die Zukunft. Besuchen Sie mit uns 16 Manufakturen (Podcast in vier Teilen) und ihre schöpferischen Inhaber.

Though he never enjoyed the fame of his contemporaries Mozart and Haydn, Antonio Rosetti was a successful composer whose works received a wide audience. In his book, The Career of an Eighteenth-Century Kapellmeister: The Life and Music of Antonio Rosetti (University of Rochester Press, 2014), Sterling Murray provides readers with both an account of Rosetti’s career and a style study of his compositions. As a young man Rosetti found employment as a double bass player at the southern German court of Kraft Ernst, Prince of Oettingen-Wallerstein. There he began composing a wide range of instrumental music for the court, eventually rising to the position of kapellmeister for the courts Hofkapelle. A sojourn in Paris in 1781-82 enhanced Rosetti’s growing reputation by providing opportunities for publishing his music while exposing him to a wider range of styles, an experience which was soon reflected in his compositions. While financial concerns led to his relocation to the court of Mecklenburg-Schwerin in 1789, his death three years later cut short his career, leaving his achievements subject to the vicissitudes of taste and the changes in musical styles.
