Two Baroque Churches in Germany 1955

Directed by Ray Eames

hese two churches, Viersehnheiligen and Ottobeuren are rich examples of mid-18th-Century German Baroque, a time when music, literature, architecture and philosophy were unified. The film, rather than explaining the structure, attempts to express the feeling of what German Baroque was, and what gave it such great style. The music is 18th-Century, played on 18th-Century organs.
