Donald Macleod investigates the life of a Renaissance genius, Giovanni da PalestrinaGiovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina (c.1525-1594) was one of the most influential composers in European classical music. With his countless masses, motets and madrigals, infused with a deep sense of spirituality and musical beauty, Palestrina was named the 'Saviour of Church Music' at a revolutionary time when Rome was rewriting the rules of music composition. But what do we know about this mysterious character, between historical fact and hagiographic myth? Donald Macleod follows the clues, to try and reconstruct the story of a fascinating composer, on the (approximately) 500th anniversary of his birth.Music Featured: Sicut cervus Laudate pueri Pueri hebraeorum (arr for dobro) Puer qui natus est Missa Assumpta est Maria (excerpt) Josquin des Prez: O virgo prudentissima Josquin des Prez: Fortuna d'un gran tempo Costanzo Festa: Sancta Maria succurre miseris Sacred Madrigals, Book 2, Città di Dio Ricercar del primo tuono Magnificat Primi toni Missa Ecce sacerdos magnus (Sanctus) Quam pulchri sunt gressus tui Pulchra es, amica mea (arr Volbers for recorder ensemble) Missa Papae Marcelli (excerpt) Vergine bella… Vergine saggia… Vestiva i colli Sabbato Sancto: Lectio III, Incipit oratio Ieremiae prophetae Motecta festorum totius anni cum Communi Sanctorum – liber primus Misso Herodes Nicola Vicentino: Jerusalem convertere Cristóbal de Morales: Gaude et laetare, Ferrariensis civitas Motecta festorum totius anni cum Communi Sanctorum (Fuit homo missus a Deo) Missa Papae Marcelli (Sanctus) Ricercar del secondo tuono Missa sine nomine a 6 arr Johann Sebastian Bach L'homme armé (exceprt) Adoramus te Christe arr Leopold Stokowski for orchestra O admirabile commercium Missa Ut re mi fa sol la (excerpt) Io son ferito (instrumental version) Missa Brevis (excerpt) Canite tuba (arr for brass ensemble) Deh hor foss'io col vago della luna (on a text by Petrarch) Offertoria totius anni (Jubilate Deo) arr A.

For most of its history, the Roman Republic had little to do with the Greek East. That changed at the end of the third century BC. As the war against Hannibal reached its conclusion, momentous things were happening in the eastern Mediterranean, as the system of great powers that had defined the Hellenistic world for a century collapsed almost overnight. Now, Rome would have to make a decision about what to do, and the consequences changed the political map for the next thousand years or more.Patrick's book is now available!

In this episode, we explore the life and legacy of Huldrych Zwingli—a Renaissance-trained scholar who transformed worship, challenged papal authority, and sparked a movement that would shape Protestant Christianity for centuries to come.Dr. Alan Strange guides us through Zwingli's journey from peasant origins to becoming the people's priest in Zurich, where his bold biblical preaching ignited sweeping reforms. We'll uncover how this musical prodigy turned iconoclast approached Scripture differently than his German contemporary, Martin Luther, and why their famous meeting at Marburg in 1529 ended in disappointment despite remarkable theological agreement.From the first Zurich disputations to the development of what would become the regulative principle of worship, this episode reveals how one man's commitment to "Scripture alone" created ripples that continue to influence churches today.

Guten Morgen! Heute werfen wir zunächst einen Blick auf die Zukunft der Kernenergie in Europa. Während Deutschland endgültig ausgestiegen ist, erleben viele Nachbarländer eine Renaissance dieser Energieform. Anschließend geht es um eine gefährliche Praxis im Finanzministerium. Ministerien ersetzen zunehmend klare Gesetze durch interne Verwaltungsregelungen. Diese Praxis berge hohe Risiken, warnt der Bundesrechnungshof. In unserem dritten Beitrag untersuchen wir, wie Trump auf dem G7-Gipfel in Kanada für Wirbel sorgte und welche Themen dort sonst noch behandelt wurden.

Is China's strategic push for chemical self-sufficiency reshaping the global petrochemical landscape? John Richardson, senior consultant at ICIS, joins The Chemical Show to share insights on how misjudged growth expectations for China, shifting demographics, and the rise of state-driven capacity expansions have led to the deepest, longest downturn in industry history. John and host Victoria Meyer examine why capacity was built around hopes for perpetual strong Chinese demand, only for real estate and demographic headwinds to alter the trajectory—creating a world of oversupply, negative margins, and mounting uncertainty. Their conversation covers the ongoing impact of trade tensions, the real drivers behind Chinese investment decisions, and why shutting down uneconomical assets is becoming a pressing necessity, especially in Europe and Asia. John and Victoria also weigh the challenges and promises of AI and data intelligence in a conservative, data-guarded sector, and offer advice for industry leaders navigating persistent market disruption. For chemical professionals, these perspectives highlight why adaptability, intelligence, and innovation will be critical in mastering both today's volatility and tomorrow's opportunities. Discover more about the following topics: How China's pivot from growth to self-sufficiency is reshaping global petrochemicals. Why chemicals face their worst business cycle ever, with Asian producers bleeding money on polyethylene. How tariffs and shifting policies create constant uncertainty for chemical companies. Why China's government-backed enterprises compete on strategy, not just cost. How data and artificial intelligence will separate industry winners from losers. “We've all assumed that polymer sciences are, you know, composites and stuff and playing with the same basic molecules, but maybe not.”  — John Richardson 00:00 Chemical Industry Insights by John 06:08 Domestic Chemical Manufacturing Expansion 08:48 Polyethylene Margins: China vs. Middle East 11:31 Tariffs and Global Business Perspectives 14:43 China's Trade Resilience Amid Challenges 20:23 Data Sharing's Impact on AI 23:50 Debating Productivity's True Impact 26:34 AI: Industrial Revolution or Renaissance? 30:49 Innovative Multi-Pane Glass Advancements 31:43 Innovative, Stronger Glass Advances  Subscribe to The Chemical Show on YouTube  ***Don't miss an episode: Subscribe to The Chemical Show on your favorite podcast player.  ***Like what you hear?

"It isn't over" when it comes to tensions between Israel and Iran, says Joy Yang. She calls this a "wake up call" for investors heavily focused on the trade war. On assets, Joy points to gold's expensive moves but adds there's no other "safe havens" for investors to turn to as Bitcoin's price fluctuates. She notes the rallies in energy and defense stocks as another signal of rampant volatility.

In this episode, Vivek and Danny Ryan unpack their freshly released report, The Bull Case for ETH, which positions ether as the next great store of value—and a future global reserve asset for the digital economy. We explore ETH's misunderstood monetary design, its strategic role for institutions, and why Wall Street is waking up to Ethereum not just as a network, but as an investable asset. This is the case for ETH as the asymmetric opportunity of this generation. ------

Given that the term literally means “rebirth”, the Renaissance throws some not-so-subtle shade on the period that comes before it. So, where did the idea of the Renaissance actually come from?

Any Austin has carved a unique niche for himself on YouTube: analyzing seemingly mundane or otherwise overlooked details in video games with the seriousness of an art critic examining Renaissance sculptures. With millions of viewers hanging on his every word about fluvial flows in Breath of the Wild or unemployment rates in the towns of Skyrim, Austin has become what Tyler calls "the very best in the world at the hermeneutics of infrastructure within video games." But Austin's deeper mission is teaching us to think analytically about everything we encounter, and to replace gaming culture's obsession with technical specs and comparative analysis with a deeper aesthetic appreciation that asks simply: what are we looking at, and what does it reveal? Tyler and Austin explore the value of the YouTube algorithm, what he notices now about real-world infrastructure, whether he perceives glitches IRL, why AI-generated art is getting less interesting, how the value of historical context differs between artistic forms, an aesthetic abundance agenda for nuclear power, the trajectory of video game quality since the 80s, whether the pace of seminal game releases has slowed, the relative value of commentary to the games themselves, why virtual reality adds nothing meaningful to the gaming experience, what's wrong with most video game analysis, what to eat in New Orleans, Tyler's gaming history, and more.

Step into the captivating world of Renaissance power plays in this insightful episode, "Cesare Borgia: The Rise and Fall of Power's Mastermind." Join us as we take a deep dive into the life and legacy of Cesare Borgia, the cunning warlord who inspired Niccolò Machiavelli's "The Prince." Was Cesare a visionary leader on the brink of unifying Italy, or a reckless tactician undone by fate? Through a critical examination of his meteoric rise and eventual downfall, we uncover the raw truths about power, ambition, and the fragile balance of control.In this must-watch episode, we explore Machiavelli's fascination with Cesare's ruthless strategies, from his swift conquests to his chilling acts of betrayal, and the pivotal role his father, Pope Alexander VI, played in his ascent. We also analyze the lasting impact of Machiavelli's "The Prince" on modern politics, corporate leadership, and personal ambition—offering a unique perspective on why this 500-year-old text remains a blueprint for power in 2025.As the CEO and co-founder of Command Your Brand, I'm passionate about helping individuals combat cancel culture and amplify their voices in new media. Together, we'll unpack the lessons from Cesare Borgia's story, while asking the big questions: Who controls the narrative? How do we prepare for the unexpected?
