German Music Legacy

Alexa, play Bach’s Brandenburg Concerto No. 4, BWV 1049, Allegro

This concerto is full of life and beauty, with the flute, violin, and harpsichord leading the entire orchestra in joyful dialogue. At the time, Bach himself would often direct the ensemble from the harpsichord but he was also the most skilled violinist of is era, so you can picture him conducting from the harpsichord with a violin in hand just as easily—an image that perfectly captures the spirit of this vibrant masterpiece.

Legacy Turns 5!

We kicked off the month celebrating Legacy Reserve at Old Town’s fifth anniversary. The residents and staff alike took part in the celebratory gala. It was an evening of memorable stories, elegant decor, and delicious food. Cheers to five years!

Welcome to Germany
Around the World with Atlas

Germany’s history stretches back to ancient tribes such as the Saxons, Franks, and Goths, whose resilience left a mark on Europe’s foundations. From the crowning of Charlemagne in 800 AD to the rise of the Holy Roman Empire under Otto I, the medieval period saw the growth of a diverse cultural and political landscape. Moments of transformation, like Martin Luther’s Protestant Reformation, sparked new ideas that influenced the world far beyond Germany’s borders.

In the centuries that followed, the rise of Prussia and the eventual German unification in 1871 brought together a patchwork of regions into a modern and power nation.

Though the 20th century was marked by hardship and division, after two awful wars, Germany was in ruin and divided by a wall, years of division goes by until the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 and the re-unification of Germany opened the path to a new chapter. Today, Germany stands as a symbol of resilience and renewal—celebrated for its music, philosophy, literature, and innovations, as well as its role as a cultural and economic leader in Europe.

Found on ancient stones and artifacts, it represents the mysteries of life, death, and the warrior’s passage to the afterlife, other schoolars sugest that the 9 points/intersections represent the 9 worlds in the Norse Mythology and how they are some how interconected.
