Midtown Concerts • Abendmusik - Gotham Early Music Scene

War & Peace ~ Music in the Time of the Thirty Years' War (1618–1648). During this period German composers managed to find inspiration in Italy, Spain, and France, and fused adopted musical styles with their own, implying or expressing directly the challenges to survive in and around geographic areas under siege.

I confess I haven't paid a lot of attention to numismatics, but this auction looks quite interesting. https://www.kuenker.de/en/auktionen/stuecke/410-414?filter=katalog&katalog_nummer=410

(Sure would be an expensive hobby to take up! You could probably get a Rembrandt etching for those prices.)

Did any of my followers listen to the Chapo Trap House podcast series Hell on Earth about the #30yearswar? I admit I wasn't interested in signing up, but I should keep up to date about what's being said on the topic in popular culture. A review here: https://jacobin.com/2024/08/chapo-thirty-years-war-capitalism
Did the Thirty Years’ War Produce Capitalism?

The podcast Chapo Trap House’s miniseries Hell on Earth is an entertaining story which proposes that the Thirty Years’ War midwifed the birth of capitalism. Ultimately, however, the interesting argument doesn’t hold up.

Last week, the Vatican excommunicated its former ambassador to Washington, Carlo Vigano, after finding him guilty of schism. Carlo’s spokesperson says he told the Holy Roman Empire to suck it and he plans to one up them by waging a thirty-one years’ war.

Random #fensterfreitag note: though I've taken lots and lots of pictures over the years, and have a special interest in the #30yearswar I've never taken a picture of the window where the famous Defenestration took place.
@jtheibault But am I worse off for getting less about this story? It left me feeling kind of sleazy by association. As for #30YearsWar, maybe try searching on https://historians.social or h-net.social…
