[QUOTE="lordmarcovan, post: 7836185, member: 10461"]Since I can’t keep up with the lovely coins here (I posted most of mine from this period earlier), here’s another truly sublime piece of Baroque music to keep the mood going. [MEDIA=youtube]NafyrVy-keI[/MEDIA] Imagine you’re in a palace or cathedral or a church like the one shown, in the 18th century. You live in a world without recorded music, amplifiers, synthesizers, CD players, or YouTube. Sure, you’d have heard snippets of music in the outside world: people singing in taverns or market stalls. Maybe a shepherd piping a simple tune on his wooden flute. But imagine you enter the church and you hear THAT, sounding much as it does in the video. After all, they had trumpets and organs then, obviously. No wonder you’d be awestruck, and maybe have a religious experience. Not to mention that only [I]two people[/I] are weaving that entire rich tapestry of sound. Not an orchestra.[/QUOTE]
