Constitutional Court Veto: Yoon Suk Yeol Impeachment Upheld
Bach didn't just write music; he smuggled fresh chorales into Leipzig's church on that humid Easter Sunday. He had to scrape together instruments and singers because the winter frost had crushed his previous orchestra. The human cost was real: exhausted musicians, a city still reeling from the cold, yet voices rose anyway. Today you might hum a melody from that service without knowing it started as a desperate plea for life after death. It wasn't just a concert; it was a reminder that art survives even when everything else breaks.
