………………………………………………………………………………

Municipal Square, around the Crystal Wall.

Watching several famous singers come out together with the adult choir and children's choir, and stand behind the semi-circle band, the surrounding people are full of astonishment.

"What's this?"

"Why is Mr. Fabrini here?"

"Is the last one not a symphony, but a chorus?"

...

They who were full of expectations just now were only surprised at this time, and they didn't understand what was going on at all. Why would there be singers, choirs and children's choirs appearing at Lucien Evans' concert, and the repertoire was obviously Symphony in d minor!

Hearing the discussion around, Betty asked her sister Joanna suspiciously: "Could it be that Mr. Evans will add a chorus to this symphony?"

"How is this possible? There has never been a chorus in any symphony! This is not an oratorio!" An Alto citizen next to him strongly expressed his disbelief. He is a senior symphony lover.

Seeing her younger sister being questioned, Joanna snorted softly: "Mr. Evans is known for his transformation and innovation. Could it be that his previous "Destiny" and "Renewal Kingdom" perfectly fit the traditional symphony structure?"

Similar debates have taken place in various places in the town square, making people more curious about Lucien Evans' last symphony.

In the chant hall, watching Fabrini and others filed out, Christopher said with emotion: "He really wants to add the vocal chorus part to the symphony. It's really a bold innovation. I don't know what the effect will be?"

Although Lucien's rehearsal was kept secret, the Alto Musicians Association was not big, and Fabrini and others were not unknown singers, so most of the musicians and musicians guessed that Lucien was going to perform at the symphony. The chorus is boldly used in the song to match.

Accustomed to the changes brought about by each piece of Lucien's music, the musicians have a wait-and-see attitude. As long as they are not as out of the ordinary as "Renewal Country", they are looking forward to the innovation of the symphony form, especially Christopher This generous elder pays attention to all this with joy, hoping to bring new inspiration to his music creation.

"It is said to be very good, but rehearsing alone and performing in front of a large audience in the chant hall are two different things, and the effect may be a hundred times better!" Natasha said confidently, as if composing a piece of music and about to take the stage to conduct At the same time, she complained a little in her heart, "This guy is really good at keeping secrets. He obviously has two symphony prototypes in the past three years, and one of them is almost completed, but he didn't even mention it. Could it be?" To create a surprise?"

In her opinion, the two grand symphonies "From the New World" and "Ode to Joy" obviously could not have been composed by Lucien within just over a month after he returned to Alto, and at that time Lucien also admitted that he had composed them. Part of the music came out.

Othello shook his head: "However, there has never been an attempt of vocal chorus in the symphony. How it will perform in the end is still uncertain. It is an unknown mystery."

At this time, wearing a straight tuxedo, Lucien, who was as handsome and quiet as moonlight, came out of the backstage holding a short baton, and saluted the surroundings one by one.

Regardless of whether it is the chant hall or the municipal square, the discussions stopped immediately and completely subsided.

This is the charm of a top musician.

…………

Turning around and standing in the center of the band's semicircle, Lucien raised his hands in a gesture of silence and preparation.

Closing his eyes habitually, Lucien recalled all the hardships and contemplations in the past, and recalled that he had arrived at the port of the Kingdom of Holm after a long and arduous journey, and when he came out of the dark and oppressive wooden box, he saw that he was wearing a black double-breasted long coat. The scene of Lazar in a tuxedo and top hat, when the weather is bright and his smile is bright, is like a holy sun piercing through the darkness and hardship, heralding the coming light!

Without the accumulation of life and emotion, it is difficult for a conductor to control the music well.

The baton in the right hand and the left hand in the empty hand fluctuate gently, as if they are capturing the emotion and melody that came from afar and from the beginning. The low-pitched music sounds like a vibrato reverberating from the heart. The scene is deep, calm and serious. The hazy vistas are vividly in front of everyone's eyes.

Victor only felt an uncontrollable trembling in his soul under the vibrato, and he didn't know whether it came from the excitement of this melody, or the awe generated by the seriousness and depth contained in it.

Such a sense of trembling passed through everyone's heart, including the cardinal, who had an initial, deep, and intuitive impression of music. It is grand and serious, and it seems to contain a vigorous and unstoppable force. It also indicates the coming danger, which is the difficulty and pain that everyone cannot avoid, from birth to death!

Then, the power contained in it gradually grew stronger, the music became vigorous and powerful, and the unusually clear rhythm shook the soul wave after wave, while the other theme was depressing and severe, which seemed to be the difficulties and difficulties that no one wanted to face or come. The fate that was doomed from the beginning, the repeated entanglement of the two themes made the entire first movement manifest the unyielding struggle and never-giving up cry that runs through "Fate" and "Sorrow".

There are some gentle or high-spirited melodies mixed in it, which not only set off the hardship and tragedy of the battle with the temporary calm during the struggle, but also seem to reveal the sacredness and inevitability of defeating suffering, defeating enemies and defeating darkness!

The 16-minute first movement passed quickly while the audience was so focused that it ended with a temporary victory in the struggle. They burst into thunderous applause, expressing their love for this movement unreservedly.

"The beginning is so grand, solemn, deep and solemn, this movement is really excellent, and its structure is rigorous and firm, very perfect, almost a movement without flaws!" He frowned, but praised him with the kind words he could think of for the time being.

Natasha echoed with a little pride: "If the next three movements maintain the same level, then this one is undoubtedly the top symphony work, and it can stand on the same level as "Fate" and "Dawn War" Accept the classics worshiped by the latecomers. This concert is really rich to the extreme, and two of them are new works. I am afraid that it will be difficult for similar situations to appear in the future."

But Grand Duke Violet was slightly puzzled and said: "No matter from any aspect, the first movement is worthy of your praise, but I always feel that there is something missing, missing the feeling of shock and explosion?"

"Indeed, whether it is in terms of technique, structure, or melody, this movement is close to perfection, but it is neither full of terror and urgency like a storm like the first movement of "Fate", It's not like the first chapter of "Pathetic" and "Moonlight", which can give people a unique psychological feeling."

Christopher expressed his senses, "Majestic, deep, severe, etc. are displayed, but there is a little less memorable thing, like a volcano with terrifying power, it erupts occasionally, but still It didn't meet everyone's expectations, and it didn't spew out so logically, giving people an increasingly depressed, low and dark feeling."

"Mr. Christopher is exactly what I feel, but because of this, I am looking forward to the explosion of a certain movement in the future, which is the key to whether it can become a real classic." Victor is not eager, still not Waiting suspiciously for the next three movements, but he also has a faint sense of darkness and depression.

Although it was difficult for Earl Hayne, Earl Lafayette, Cardinal Gosser and others sitting next to them to intervene in their music discussions, it did not prevent them from agreeing with Christopher's senses, even if the struggle in the first movement It ended with a grand victory that temporarily defeated the enemy and the darkness, but they still felt that they were walking alone in the darkness, and there were still many sufferings and dangers ahead.

This is the common feeling of all people.

Soon, the second movement began under the command of Lucien. Contrary to the tradition that the movement must be in the form of adagio, a lively and clear melody was played, as if chasing the enemy with the help of previous victories, as if the darkness disappeared for a while, Seeing the bright blue sky and the bright sun is an uplifting experience.

"He really broke the tradition again." Christopher smiled kindly as if he had expected it long ago, with an indulgent smile that the elders dote on the juniors.

Othello frowned slightly, but let it go quickly, because he felt that it was very appropriate to use the lively Allegro movement here to succeed the solemnity of the first movement, and he couldn't think of a better way, and the structural changes between the movements made him compare easy to accept.

People in the Municipal Square have noticed this change as long as they have a little understanding of symphony, but they are more focused on listening to the essence of music, and they also like the second movement. They feel that the melody is beautiful and the atmosphere is just right.

Since the second movement is so good and consistent, it proves that a structural change is necessary!

The progress of victory is still going on, but the darkness seems to come quietly again, and the enemies are surrounded from all directions. The rapid melody makes everyone feel nervous.

In this uneasy mood, the second movement ended, and the audience encouraged themselves and Lucien to burst into applause again like a tide. It seemed that the warmer the applause, the less lonely they would be, and the more united they could be. Together, overcome darkness and danger together.

Rarely has a symphony received such enthusiastic applause at the breaks of each movement!

After the applause, no one spoke, and the feeling of depression and darkness deep in their hearts became more intense. The hidden volcano stopped erupting, as if it was accumulating amazing and terrifying power.

After a short rest and contemplation, Lucien beat the baton again, allowing the whole orchestra to play the third movement following his emotions.

The quiet and serene melody reverberates softly, beautifully and gently, making people fall into quiet contemplation.

No musician would argue that the structure of this movement is no longer an allegro, but a beautiful adagio, as soft as a song. After the fierce or exciting or tragic or disturbing struggles in the previous two movements, everyone urgently needs a quiet time to think about why they are fighting, to think about the meaning of their fighting, and to recall the whole struggle. All kinds of suffering and hard work, so as to accumulate new strength, and reap brilliant and joyful victories!

Are you doing everything smoothly?

Have you ever felt the joy from the heart after overcoming difficulties?

Are you being assaulted by difficulties everywhere in your life?

Do you fight bravely in the face of them, or do you give up in frustration?

...

In quiet thinking, Victor once again recalled the difficulties in life, and he never became a musician smoothly:

Forget everything, create music locked in the room, go against the inner preferences and socialize with the nobles and the gentlemen of the musicians' association, thus "praying" for a concert to come, but what is greeted is a blow of failure, It was the merciless exit of the audience, and the malicious ridicule of most people around. I was almost crushed by difficulties and darkness. Fortunately, with Winnie's encouragement, I was able to stand up again. After ten times of hard work, I finally regained the opportunity to hold the concert and reaped success. But before I fulfilled my promise, Winnie was called by the Lord...

Natasha thought about the past. She was born noble, with top-notch blood, and a harmonious family. She seemed to be favored by the God of Truth, but life would never be smooth sailing. He closed his heart, shouldered a heavy burden, and completely devoted himself to the arduous training of the knight.

And when I found my own chivalry, walked out of the shadows of the past, and ushered in a beautiful relationship and a new life, a cruel betrayal that could have been avoided happened to me. I had to reluctantly kill my lover, and was almost killed by my cousin's subordinates. Fortunately, my good friend Lucien rescued me regardless of life and death...

Lucien, who was in command, was also thinking about all kinds of hardships, and the dark past lingered in his heart. They were so depressing and dangerous, but they gave him the harvest to move forward, so that he could run towards the light, chase the sun and Success, never stop, never give up.

Have you ever experienced dark depression, decadence and pain?

Did you draw lessons and strength from such an experience and move forward stronger, or did you sink into it and never get out of it?

Do you yearn for light and success?

Are you ready for the darkness and treachery on the road that must lead to them?

In the quiet and soft melody, the strong but restrained emotion gave everyone a chance to contemplate, accumulating strength in recalling the past sufferings, brewing emotions, undercurrents turbulent, looking forward to catharsis, as if the inner emotions are being repeated again and again. Depressed and wanting to break through everything in the suffering again and again, it seems that a hidden volcano is humming in the bottom of my heart, about to erupt uncontrollably.

Unknowingly, the third movement ended, and the accumulated bits and pieces made everyone feel uncontrollable gushing.

They have suffered too much in their lives, and they can't wait to rush to the light, welcome victory, and reap success!

Lucien's movements became violent. At the beginning of the fourth movement, there was a volcanic eruption, allowing the power obtained from meditation and the emotions accumulated in it to be channeled out like a flood, breaking through all shackles, defeating all enemies, and defeating all dangers !

Such an explosion lifted the mood of the audience in the chant hall and the municipal square, as if they were about to see a bright dawn and a glorious victory!

But the darkness is still lingering, and the difficulties still exist. The melody repeats the first three movements fragmentarily, giving people a thrilling sense of struggle and danger again.

Victory has not yet arrived, but we must continue to move forward and rush to the light!

The melody of Ode to Joy was played softly by the double bass, and the solemn, brisk, bright and joyful tune seemed to soothe people.

But not enough, not enough!

People seem to have gone through countless efforts and are close to the edge of victory, but the light is only if they are aware of it, and it has not really come yet!

Just like when Victor played all the repertoire in his second concert, but the audience has not yet reacted, and they still cannot know whether it is successful, and the inner depression, expectation, wandering and tension still exist.

The tune of Ode to Joy gradually developed to the entire band, becoming more and more distinct and larger, and countless streams quickly merged into a torrent.

But not enough, not enough!

It was as if Lucien had arrived at the port of "Padre" in the Kingdom of Holm, but the lid of the wooden box had not been lifted, and everything was still dark and oppressive.

Including Natasha, all the audience unconsciously clenched their fists, wanting to cheer victory.

But not enough, not enough!

Suddenly, a baritone sang vigorously:

"Oh, my friends, why sing the old tune?"

"Still Let Our Songs"

"Merge into a joyous chorus!"

It was like being struck by lightning, like witnessing the arrival of an angel, an indescribable sense of trembling erupted from the depths of everyone's soul and spread to the whole body.

Passionate praises and joyful and sacred melodies flooded in, drowning everything and breaking through everything!

"Joy, joy."

"Angel of Joy Holy and Beautiful"

"Brilliant light shines on the earth"

...

The emotions that have been unable to be completely vented are completely gushing out at this moment, and everyone's soul becomes ethereal because of being moved, full of extreme and holy happiness.

It's like seeing the first ray of sunlight that pierces the darkness and illuminates the earth after a long period of darkness. It is so solemn and solemn, but also so bright and sacred!

It was like Victor had experienced countless difficulties and setbacks and finally received warm applause and achieved real success. At that moment, at this moment, his eyes were full of tears.

It was like the lid of the wooden box was lifted. After Lucien sat up and saw Lazar with a bright smile and the bright blue sky, he felt extremely comfortable and moved. All the dangers and depressions in the past seemed to be rewarded at this moment.

Without bitterness, there is no sweetness.

Without suffering, there is no gain.

Without hard work, there will be no success.

How can there be such extreme and pure joy without the backdrop of pain, difficulty and depression?

At this moment, it seems that the people whose souls have been impacted are completely lost in the music, lost in the repeated singing of the four voices, they are all moved to tears, feel the heartfelt happiness, and praise the truth God's gift!

"Above this beautiful land"

"Joy to All"

"All people regardless of high or low"

"Blessed by the grace of God"

...

Singing the Ode to Joy that seemed to praise the God of Truth, feeling the sacred joy and endless music surrounding him, and seeing the faces of the audience below who were moved, happy and full of tears, Fabrini felt a little trembling about the power of this music. Holy greatness, the sacred greatness of this song, he was inexplicably moved, and tears slid down his clean cheeks while singing.

From birth to now, from cruel surgery to arduous practice, Fabrini felt the heartfelt joy for the first time, without any impurities, pure joy bestowed by the God of Truth, so extreme that it made people want to cry joy.

When other singers sang, Fabrini took the opportunity to look at the conductor in front of the band, he was so devoted, so hard.

What a great musician!

When it was his turn to sing, he became more attentive and emotional.

"My friends, in heaven"

"The Holy Spirit of Love Watches Over Us"

"All People Worship"

"Worship the holiness of mercy."

Listening to the lyrics that seemed to praise the God of truth, Cardinal Gosse, who had been touched for a long time, drew a cross on his chest together with other bishops and priests present. Holy is synonymous with the Lord!

The chorus over and over again, the band playing over and over again, the combination of the two is so perfect.

When the clear and pure children's chorus sang "Happy angels are holy and beautiful, shining brightly on the earth", all the audience trembled again from the inside out, from the soul to the body, all the previous depression, all the sufferings, all the efforts and all the struggles, All broke out, completely broke out, hearty!

Sunshine filled the earth, joy filled the world, and the symphony drew a perfect rest with Lucien's command.

After a few seconds of silence, the people suddenly became crazy. The applause was like a volcanic eruption, and the sky collapsed. They also rushed forward unconsciously with excited tears and uncontrollable emotions, as if they wanted to crowd around Lucien. Beside him, kissing his body to express his love and admiration.

Most of the nobles in the chant hall ignored the etiquette, got up one after another, and rushed towards the stage like a tide.

When the people in the municipal square realized that they were only facing a crystal wall, they could only stop moving forward, shouting over and over again:

"Lucien Evans!"

"Lucien Evans!"

"Lucien Evans!"

...

They seemed to feel that the call of the people of one heart could be transmitted to the chant hall and to Lucien's ears, letting him know their respect and love.

Such a crazy scene has never been seen before.

When Fabbrini stood on the stage and watched the nobles rushing forward, he felt like he was still dreaming, but he quickly understood that this was a successful harvest, this was terrifying enthusiasm, and this was the praise he deserved!

"Mr. Evans, please accept the applause and greet the audience." Fabbrini saw Lucien standing there with his head down after conducting, so he reminded him aloud.

Lucien raised his head slowly, his face was abnormally pale, without a trace of blood.

Then he showed a smile that made everyone feel inexplicably beautiful, turned around slowly, pressed his right hand on his chest, and bent down.

Fabrini suddenly saw in horror that Lucien fell limply to the ground after bending over, like a swan that had lost all its strength and wings.

The picture at this moment seemed to be solidified into black and white in his mind. On the one hand, there was a passionate scene boiling like boiling water, and on the other hand, it was slowly slipping down unstoppably.
