May Day travel from any door to the other side of the door to St. Thomas Cathedral

Leipzig, St. Thomas' Cathedral. The great Johann Sebastian Bach worked here for 27 years and created some of the major works of his life. The word Bach means "stream" in German, but Beethoven said: "He is not a stream, but the sea." Indeed, Bach’s music is the sea. He is the undisputed father of modern music. During his lifetime, the master worked hard and worked hard to support his family. After his death and obscurity, it was Felix Mendelssohn who resurrected his music through the St. Matthew Passion. The master finally rested under the cathedral. In "Matthew Passion", the master integrates secular folk song melodies, dance tunes, title music techniques, and audio-visual depictions with traditional biblical religious themes to deeply portray an ordinary person's struggle for kindness and kindness. The suffering endured for justice reflects mankind's pursuit of an ideal world. The piece was played for the first time in 1729. The St. Thomas Cathedral in Leipzig at that time had a special architectural structure, with two pipe organs, two balconies and two sets of benches arranged longitudinally. Bach had an idea and created a new "stereo" Effect. He let two organs, two choirs, and two bands perform interactively, sometimes answering each other, and sometimes standing up to sing and play together. The grandeur of the scene and the magnificence of the music were unprecedented. It is said that the resonant effect of the performance was so amazing that the whitewash on the walls actually cracked! Bach was an outstanding organist, and a musical leader who transitioned music from Baroque to classicism and created modern music.

Monument to the Battle of the Nations

The Völkerschlachtdenkmal, aka the Monument to the Battle of the Nations commemorates the struggle against Napoleon's France and the Battle of Leipzig in 1813. The tower provides a lovely view towards the city and the park itself is nice to walk around. Visit the cemetery next door with a rather elaborate crematorium. #germany #history  #triplocal
