About the Book

From the New York Times bestselling author comes the definitive, illustrated history of one of the greatest battles ever fought—a riveting nonfiction chronicle published to commemorate the two-hundreth anniversary of Napoleon's last stand.

On June 18, 1815, the armies of France, Britain, and Prussia descended upon a quiet valley south of Brussels. In the previous three days, the French army had beaten the Prussians at Ligny and fought the British to a standstill at Quatre-Bras. The Allies were in retreat. The little village north of where they turned to fight the French army was called Waterloo. The blood-soaked battle to which the town gave its name would become a landmark in European history.

In his first work of nonfiction, Bernard Cornwell combines his storytelling skills with a meticulously researched history to give a riveting chronicle of every dramatic moment—from Napoleon's daring escape from Elba to the smoke and gore of the three battlefields and their aftermath. Through quotes from the letters and diaries of Emperor Napoleon, the Duke of Wellington, and the ordinary officers and soldiers, Cornwell brings to life how it actually felt to fight those famous battles—as well as the moments of amazing bravery on both sides that left the outcome hanging in the balance until the bitter end.

Published to coincide with the battle's bicentennial in 2015, Waterloo is a tense and gripping story of heroism and tragedy—and of the final battle that determined the fate of nineteenth-century Europe.

WATERLOO by Bernard Cornwell

Arranging an early Bach piece, like BWV 106 "In Gottes Zeit," can feel like a sacrilege. The original is just too perfect. Well. Obviously, there is no original recording from 1707, when JS Bach composed at the age of 22. But there is the score. And in the score is the chord progression together with the rhythm and the melody on top. JS Bach wrote it as funeral music. Funeral music. That is when you take somebody to the final rest, the “big sleep.” And there is the “little sleep,” and the music then is called a lullaby. Rest for 10-12 hours until the next sunny morning. This chord progression also works on your little ones. Why is THIS chord progression so close to existential matters? Beginning or end. Short answer: it has “dignity.”

This is an open-source MIDI arrangement for piano. I ran it through the standard piano sample of MuseScore. Then I fed the resulting audio into Suno and prompted it to add some modern rhythmic enhancements. Give yourself and your existential matters a little rest while listening to this music.

For JS Bach back in 1707, everything was embedded and explained in the Christian context. We don't have that luxury anymore. Most of the people I meet lost the connection between belief, music, and their own dignity. Unthinkable for JS Bach.

Sleep for the Sleepless

I've been in hella sidequest, a smattering of random short songs I've made. Nothing here sounds like or represents the Winter EP, electronic soundscapes, synth heavy samples with me playing bass guitar and keys throughout and little metal fusion in a couple songs. A couple of these songs are truly experiments that would've never seen the light of day.
