Sacred Music as Public Image for Holy Roman Emperor Ferdinand III

Sacred Music as Public Image for Holy Roman Emperor Ferdinand III

Ferdinand III played a crucial role both in helping to end the Thirty Years' War and in re-establishing Habsburg sovereignty within his hereditary lands, and yet he remains one of the most neglected of all Habsburg emperors. The underlying premise of Sacred Music as Public Image for Holy Roman Emperor Ferdinand III is that Ferdinand's accomplishments came not through diplomacy or strong leadership but primarily through a skillful manipulation of the arts, through which he communicated important messages to his subjects and secured their allegiance to the Catholic Church. An important locus for cultural activity at court, especially as related to the Habsburgs' political power, was the Emperor's public image. Ferdinand III offers a fascinating case study in monarchical representation, for the war necessitated that he revise the image he had cultivated at the beginning of his reign, that of a powerful, victorious warrior. Weaver argues that by focusing on the patronage of sacred music (rather than the more traditional visual and theatrical means of representation), Ferdinand III was able to uphold his reputation as a pious Catholic reformer and subtly revise his triumphant martial image without sacrificing his power, while also achieving his Counter-Reformation goal of unifying his hereditary lands under the Catholic church. Drawing upon recent methodological approaches to the representation of other early modern monarchs, as well as upon the theory of confessionalization, this book places the sacred vocal music composed by imperial musicians into the rich cultural, political, and religious contexts of mid-seventeenth-century Central Europe. The book incorporates dramatic productions such as opera, oratorio, and Jesuit drama (as well as works in other media), but the primary focus is the more numerous and more frequently performed Latin-texted paraliturgical genre of the motet, which has generally not been considered by scholars as a vehicle for monarchical representation. By examining the representation of this little-studied emperor during a crucial time in European history, this book opens a window into the unique world view of the Habsburgs, allowing for a previously untold narrative of the end of the Thirty Years' War as seen through the eyes of this important ruling family.

Ferdinand von Zeppelin invented the floating airship that bears his name in the late 1800s and made way for a wave of advances in aviation. Reginald Fessenden was a different sort of pioneer, making the first radio broadcasts over long distances in the early 1900s. The time period in which Zeppelin and Fessenden worked also includes the discoveries of Thomas Edison, Alexander Graham Bell, Nikola Tesla, George Washington Carver, and many others. Their work is profiled in this volume and supported with well-chosen photographs. Informative text introduces the lives of both familiar and little-known inventors to readers of all interests.

It all begins on a Sunday morning in County Armagh, Ireland. The year is 1850, and Ferdy O'Hagan has just asked Annie McGrory to marry him. Annie says yes with all her heart, but she understands what she's getting into. She knows that Ferdy dreams of making his fortune in America, far away from the famine currently ravaging the Irish countryside. Annie agrees to become Ferdy's bride and support him no matter what. This promise carries her through the next half century as the two find love, loss, and laughter in their adopted home of New York City. Annie goes through the worst hardship a mother can face, but she never forgets her vow to stay at her husband's side. This unconditional love and devotion provide an inspiration for the couple's four children. They too set off to make their fortunes in New York City, and their adventures take them to some surprising places. Author Barbara A. Dolan makes the vibrant young couple come to life in the pages of her novel. Joining Ferdy and Annie are their four rambunctious children; their best friends, the McDermots; and a colorful cast of New York characters

*Discusses all of the accomplishments of their reign, including the Reconquista against the Moors, the Spanish Inquisition, and Christopher Columbus's historic voyages. *Includes pictures depicting the Catholic Monarchs and important people, places, and events in their lives. *Includes a Bibliography for further reading. A lot of ink has been spilled covering the lives of history's most influential figures, but how much of the forest is lost for the trees? When historians are asked to pick a point in history when Western civilization was transformed and guided down the path to modernity, most of them point to the Renaissance. Indeed, the Renaissance revolutionized art, philosophy, religion, sciences and math, with individuals like Galileo, Leonardo, Michelangelo, Raphael, Dante, and Petrarch bridging the past and modern society. In Charles River Editors' Legends of the Renaissance, readers can get caught up to speed on the lives of the most important men and women of the Renaissance in the time it takes to finish a commute, while learning interesting facts long forgotten or never known. Isabella and Ferdinand of Spain, given the title the "most Catholic monarchs" by the Pope during their reign over Spain, are often blamed for some of the greatest atrocities in history. Remembered primarily for commissioning Christopher Columbus's historical voyage to the New World in 1492, they have been assigned blame for the results of the Spanish Conquest, particularly the catastrophes that befell the Native Americans of the New World. But their reign also had profound influences on the European continent, including the barbarity of the Spanish Inquisition and the expulsion of the Jews from Spain. However, while the modern world finds it hard to look favorably on Ferdinand and Isabella, in their own time they were well-respected, admired, and even presented as a model for other monarchs. Regardless of her choices and actions, Isabella was a remarkably strong-willed woman, creating an empire and a marriage in which she had a voice equal to that of her husband. In allowing and encouraging this, Ferdinand, too, was exceptional. Perhaps most remarkably of all, theirs was a love story, rare among royalty. Their partnership, and their marriage, was born in a world unlike any other. During the fifteenth century, Spain was a collection of several independent kingdoms, including Castile and Aragon. While most of these countries were Catholic, Granada remained Muslim and under the control of the Moors. The Catholic countries that make up modern-day Spain were divided by differences in government, customs and dialects, and though the royal families of the Catholic countries within the Iberian Peninsula frequently intermarried to create short-lived alliances, but land and border disputes between individual countries led to war amongst each other, as well as neighboring lands like France. Their shared faith, and the partnership between Ferdinand and Isabella would help bring about the unification of a nation. Legends of the Renaissance: The Lives and Legacies of Ferdinand & Isabella chronicles the lives of the Catholic Monarchs and the profound historical legacies they left. Along with pictures of important people, places, and events, you will learn about Ferdinand and Isabella like you never have before, in no time at all.
