Chapter 858 Music in the Sky

Before Paris became the cultural center of Europe, Venice had been the music center of Europe from the late 16th century to the early 17th century, and serving as a musician in St. Mark's Basilica was the most coveted position in Italy.

Church music in Venice not only includes organs, but also choirs and strings.

There was a Bach string concert in the Gesuarti Church today. It had already started when they entered the venue, and what was being played happened to be Bach's very famous aria on the G string.

It was raining lightly outside the church at the moment, and the surface of the polished marble was wet. It was easy to fall when walking on it. One by one, old women wiped it dry with dry sponges.

However, not long after, when new people came in from outside, there were another series of footprints on the ground. It felt like her efforts were in vain.

Pomona quickly turned her attention away from her.

This piece of music is called the sound closest to heaven, and she doesn't want to miss it.

The Baroque style is also very luxurious, very similar to the Roqueco style, but the Baroque patterns are more grand.

Listening to this music in this gorgeous Dominican church is indeed unique.

If the honeymoon wasn't about to end, she would be in a better mood.

The Easter holiday coincides with the full moon, and they have to go back to deal with the werewolves again.

If it weren't for Umbridge's Werewolf Act, the werewolves wouldn't have been forced to survive, and maybe there wouldn't be so many followers of Fenrir.

So far, being bitten by a werewolf is still a terminal illness. There is no medicine that can cure it. Wolfsbane potion can only relieve the damage caused by the transformation, and it is very expensive.

Copying music scores to survive only exists in France and German-speaking countries, and Venice has always been the center of music printing.

The speed of hand copying is definitely not as fast as printing, and composers also need to promote their works.

It was also from this time that European music began to focus on the melody of the music rather than the story and content. Today's music is composed of nonsensical lyrics and catchy songs. As long as the tune is good, people will listen to it.

This is everyone's preference. Lily also liked the Beatles as much as they were popular. Pomona didn't have any special requirements for music. Even if it was pop music, she could accept it as long as it wasn't the kind of rock with strong drumbeats.

Times are constantly changing, and there are always some things and people that will be eliminated. Music score printers have replaced handwritten copies, and inkjet printers have replaced mechanical printers. Those manuscripts and printers are now displayed in museums, and maybe one day inkjet printers

will also become their neighbors.

There is no need to follow fashion. Lily also "liked" the Beatles for a while. After entering the magic school, she discovered that what she really liked was magic, potions and cooking.

People who are caught in the group effect, even Isaac Newton, will become "stupid". He also lost a lot of money in the South Sea Bubble. Only by leaving those irrational people can his mind regain its clarity.

"In June 1523, an astrologer in London predicted that the Thames River would flood London in February 1534. At that time, many blind followers believed this rumor, and tens of thousands of people left this place that was destined to be destroyed." In Pa.

In Trisha's divination class, she said in that strange cadence, "Muggles like to follow blindly, especially prophecies. Later, when the appointed time came, the Thames River did not flood London, and the angry crowd planned to kill the astrologer."

Later, he had an idea and said that he had underestimated it by a hundred years. Doomsday prophecies are often the most able to mobilize people's attention. Starting from the ancient Romans' doom prophecy in 684 BC, to the current era, the earth has already

There have been more than 160 predictions about doomsday. The common characteristic of these people is that they like to make up stories. Observing these remarks, we can easily find a phenomenon, that is, different professions have different professional views on doomsday. In 1530,

The fortune teller thought he was an Egyptian priest and the Thames was the Nile, which would overflow as Sirius rose..."

Many girls snickered, while the boys were so disdainful of the word "Sirius" that their mouths twisted in their glances.

During the witch-hunting period in the Middle Ages, the Dominican Church also used the theory of doomsday to preach in the Swiss mountains. Those missionaries who claimed to eliminate ignorance spread panic everywhere. In the end, the villagers were so frightened that they could only say what the monks said.

Just do whatever you want.

Intimidation will make some people resist, but more people choose to obey. For example, a mother will intimidate her children. If you don't study hard, how will you survive in the future?

There are many professions in society, and studying is not necessarily the only way. The monthly income of a gondola driver is more than that of an engineer.

Studying more does not necessarily lead to making more money. Zodiac probably doesn't make much money, otherwise he wouldn't be so extreme. After gaining social recognition, there is no problem even if he doesn't get married. The problem is that he has neither social nor personal emotional life.

After receiving attention and recognition, he used the knowledge he learned to retaliate against society.

In the incident on the Zodiac Island, the "executioner" at that time wore black clothes and a black hood. In fact, most executioners in ancient times wore red clothes. There is an officially recognized executioner's horse in the Crime Museum in Rome.

Clothes worn by Simo Dita, who is said to have executed more than 500 people between 1796 and 1865.

The color of the red coat is the same as that of the cardinal, except that the cardinal represents his own blood, while the blood in the executioner's clothes belongs to others. They are all human blood, even if the person killed is a "sinner".

Intimidation is much simpler than tempting. Preachers and pastors often talk about the Doomsday Judgment and that if you don't be a "righteous person" you will go to hell. Believers believe it and do many things that are unbelievable to modern people.

Many people have the misconception that the feudal royal government is old, corrupt, and inefficient, while the democratic system is young, incorruptible, and very efficient.

This happens to be a misunderstanding.

In Jean-Jacques Rousseau's social contract theory, the royal system of government is extremely dynamic. It can actively dominate the will of others, and everything works in one direction.

The kings of Europe were not as good as the Chinese emperors. Qin Shihuang built the Great Wall, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty attacked the Huns, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty built the Grand Canal, and went on an expedition to Goguryeo. Even Yang Yuhuan's desire to eat lychees was expedited by Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty for eight hundred miles.

The method was successful.

The Pharaohs of Egypt built the pyramids and the Hanging Gardens of Babylon were all products of the royal power.

If the goal of the royal power is for the public interest, then he is a wise king. The Kaiyuan prosperity created by Emperor Xuanzong in the early Tang Dynasty is an example. If his goal is not for the public interest, such as abusing the eight hundred miles to expedite the transportation of lychees and repairing the Huaqing Pond, etc.

The continuous operation of the political power brings harm to the people, causing loss of lives and money.

The king's will is the imperial edict, and every means must be used to complete the solution.

The democratic system is the other way around. If the ruling party wants to do a project, the opposition party will try their best to slander them if they can't carry it out. The Moses Plan was discussed for 20 or 30 years before construction started. Venice is still flooded every year. Anyway, the politicians are in Rome.

, the water cannot reach them.

If theology is about discussing how many angels can stand on the tip of a pin, they are arguing endlessly about the size of the tip of a pin. They have not done what they should do, but are arguing endlessly about money.

Monarchy is thought of men, and democracy is like a woman bargaining in a vegetable market. If it weren't for Winston Churchill and Roosevelt, God knows when Britain and the United States would have entered the Second World War. By the time the politicians had finished arguing, Japan would have occupied Europe.

The monarchy requires absolute authority, and the church is responsible for taming the lamb-like people and making them obey the king. The king gives the church various privileges. At the same time, emperors like Louis XIV and XV established their prestige through luxury, and others

The country could not be as luxurious as the French kings. They learned the French way of life, and Paris became the center of civilization.

It's just that the life of the nobles is based on the malnutrition of millions of ordinary French civilians.

The common people are hungry, the nobles and the church are still holding banquets. A hungry person is an angry person, and an angry person is irrational. The eggs are not finished when the nest is overturned. No matter whether it is a lady or a countryman caught in that kind of chaos,

Women, even emperors and farmers all have to face a question: survival or death?

The change of dynasties was not that slow. It ended quickly like lightning. The former nobles were either reduced to prisoners or had their heads wiped out, while the "poor" sans-culottes became the "new rich".

There are many people who have lost everything in the mist, and even to death they don’t understand how they ended up like this.

But he could vaguely feel that this was related to his own extravagance and waste, and this was exactly Rousseau's argument for attacking and criticizing the nobility.

A regime based on love is undoubtedly the greatest, but it is extremely unstable. Once this love is lost, it will be pushed to the ground by the civilians who once looked up to them.

Compared with using your brain, it should be simpler to "love" with your heart. Don't take the simple path, and you have to take the complicated one.

When a man marries a wife, he often chooses his own inner projection and suppresses his femininity. In the end, the woman he marries often reflects his shortcomings.

"Damn it." She cursed.

"What's wrong?" Severus asked.

"I can no longer find the feeling of immersing myself in music." She said with a sad face.

"Me too." Old Bat said with no complacency, "What's so good about this music?"

She couldn't explain why. She felt that the musicians were not fully committed and were not as infectious as the serenade performed by Severus in the Cornaro Pavilion. However, their superb skills concealed this.

"You should try it too," she encouraged. "Don't you have that Paganini violin?"

"How do you know it belongs to Paganini?" Severus asked. "Its owners are obviously six unknown people."

She glared at him.

Why is he always so disobedient?
