Today I said I would update at 12 o'clock, mainly because I wanted to listen to Bei Jiu's emotions brewing, and it was relatively long. After listening to it twice, it was already past 10 o'clock. Then as I continued writing, I realized that this chapter had just been written.
At the beginning, there is no need to prepare it in advance!
The first update tomorrow will be at about three o'clock, for the same reason as above.
The last three updates have been delivered, please give me a guaranteed monthly ticket!
…………………………………………………………………………
Aalto, Town Square.
Witnessing Lucien salute nine times in a row amidst roaring applause, and seeing him return backstage to rest and prepare for the most important symphony of this concert, tens of thousands of ordinary citizens gathered around the crystal wall,
Although the excitement of the businessmen and adventurers has subsided a lot, the intractable nostalgia makes them unable to calm down. For example, an old man in his sixties kept grabbing the people next to him to express his inner emotions:
"Perhaps you don't know, but I come from the Kingdom of Shake, which is a country in the southern part of the continent close to the Free City Federation."
"We have an excellent navy and brave warriors. When I was young, I was trained on battleships, destroying damn pirates."
"The thing I'm most dissatisfied with in Alto is that the strong wine doesn't have enough flavor. It doesn't have the burning throat and stomach feeling of Peled wine. There is also a snow wine made from exotic grapes on the snow peaks of the mountains, which is naturally cold.
, sweet and sweet, you will never forget it after taking a sip. Unfortunately, it is a specialty of my hometown of Lucia. Only the Count of Lucia and our king can enjoy it, and I once served as the gatekeeper of the Count of Lucia.
I was lucky enough to secretly taste a glass of residual wine during his wedding..."
"Hey, hey, hey, listen to me. I haven't talked about Lucian pork sauce, sheep cheese, honey and roasted lamb. I haven't talked about the passionate girls from the Kingdom of Shaq, who are chasing the ones who can defeat bulls and monsters.
warrior……"
The chattering old man made the middle-aged man next to him shake his head in disgust. This guy was too chatty, interrupting his nostalgia for every plant and tree in his hometown, which was the only trace of his wandering self that could prove the existence of the past.
The old man watched the middle-aged man avoid him unwillingly. He murmured melancholy to himself: "I haven't told you yet that I have a country house in the Lucia District. Green vines cover the walls, and the pale yellow flowers are more beautiful than any other."
The flowers are beautiful. The floor in the corner of the hut should be warped, but I can't go home to repair it. Because I have been away from there for more than thirty years, my body has long been weak, and I will probably die on the way home..."
His voice gradually became lower. There seemed to be muddy tears running down the corners of his eyes, and he kept nagging: "Go home, go home? Go home!"
As if he had made up his mind, the old man waved his hands violently, startling Glinton next to him.
"Old sir, what's wrong with you?" Glinton asked subconsciously, thinking about his hometown town on the border of the Principality of Violet.
The old man chuckled and said, "I'm ready to go home, I'm going home!" He was radiant and full of energy.
Then he added with a smile: "It is really no regret to be able to listen to this symphony by Mr. Lucien Evans before I die. It seems that some folk tunes can be found in his music, but it is
Perfectly integrated into the symphony, it is so melodious and classic. Haha. When I return to my hometown and start to miss Aalto, perhaps the first thing I miss is Mr. Evans and his outstanding and great works.
.”
"You are so right!" Glinton was extremely happy to hear the old man's praise. "When the first movement of this symphony "A New Country" ended, I thought it was just above the standard and could barely be considered outstanding.
This work may still be severely criticized by critics, but after the second movement was played, I never doubted that this is a work that is better than excellent, enough to be called a great classic, maybe it is just a few short
A little bit can be compared with "Destiny."" Probably because he often returned to his hometown, Glinton still put his favorite "Destiny" in front, and made a very small gesture with the hand he usually used to caress Jintaler.
Little means, "Mr. Evans is definitely the best and most talented musician in the last twenty years!"
After sighing, Glinton suddenly had a question: "If such a work is placed in the penultimate position, what kind of work should the D minor symphony called "Ode to Joy" be?"
"Destiny" is placed first because it is a past work and is used to express the meaning of return, so no one has doubts. And the arrangements of the next two symphonies have not been heard by anyone before people have heard them.
They made troublesome guesses, but after "A New Kingdom" completely touched people's hearts, they discovered that such a great new work was not the finale, not the end!
The old man was stunned, and then he smiled with the understanding and kindness that the passage of time had given him: "Probably this is a more classic, greater, and more outstanding work than "A New Country". I believe Mr. Evans's
Talent and his discernment.”
"Me too. It's really exciting!" Glinton turned and looked at the crystal wall, looking at the band being repaired above, with a slightly ethereal tone.
Betty and others in the square also noticed this problem one after another, began to gather their spirits, and waited expectantly for the beginning of the last symphony, thinking from the bottom of their hearts that it must be an outstanding and great work.
They don't seem to worry at all that such expectations will lead to disappointment!

Inside the Psalm Hall.
Elena quietly wiped away her tears, then glanced at Joel and Alyssa, who were still intoxicated, and whispered to Phyllis: "I heard Lucien's travels in the past three years from this music.
The longing in my heart, the longing for my hometown, and the longing for my friends. They are so sincere that they completely touched my heart. This is really a moving melody full of God-given power. I think it will be loved by everyone.
Travelers pass it on to distant places and pass it on from generation to generation."
The corners of Felice's eyes were also slightly red: "This reminds me of the experience of touring with Teacher Victor. I didn't feel it at first, but as the months passed, I began to miss my parents and my children uncontrollably.
Berne Manor, miss my beautiful bedroom, miss my dolls, miss my friends."
"I tried to turn this longing and melancholy into music. The piano piece you heard Elena is one of the best creations, but it is far different from Lucien. After listening to this symphony today
Before, I could never imagine that my longing and melancholy could be expressed in such a way, which gave me countless inspirations."
Then she joked to herself and said more seriously: "I found that I admire Lucien a little..."
As a classmate who studied music together and witnessed Lucien's initial rookie appearance, Phyllis was later shocked by "Destiny", moved by the "String Serenade in G Major" as a birthday gift, and resonated with "Pathétique".
I just think Lucien is talented, very optimistic about his future, and respect his status as a top musician.
But after this comparison of creations brought about by the same emotions and the same inspiration, Phyllis felt that she really began to admire Lucien.
"Me too." Elena replied with a serious smile.
Phyllis put her right hand on the low-cut dress and laughed: "Then let's look forward to the last symphony. I hope Lucien can make us worship him even more!"
"Grace told me that both Mr. Franz and Mr. Fabbrini admired "Ode to Joy" very much. Even more than "A New Country"." Elena said the news she had learned,
Then he smiled and said: "He will not let us down. I hope that when I am old, I can lean on the sofa next to the fireplace and tell my grandson that your grandma once had a great relationship with that great musician and music master.
, legends in the music industry have been friends..."

In the VIP box.
After hearing what Master Christopher said, Natasha smiled and said, "Mr. President, are you leaving without completing that religious music?"
"Perhaps the taste of my hometown can give me more inspiration." Christopher smiled peacefully, "Your Highness, Lucien didn't mention this work when he corresponded with you. I think you did too.
Hearing it for the first time, I had the same feelings as us.”
Natasha pursed her lips and raised her eyebrows: "No, he is very good at keeping secrets. But from the things he asked and from the lines in his words, I can clearly feel the longing for my hometown, relatives and friends.
, so when I heard this symphony, I was not surprised, and I had a premonition of its excellence. Of course, I have different feelings from you, Mr. President. Aalto is my hometown, and my memory belongs here, Lucien
The melody just reminded me of some childhood memories and what I saw while traveling in the Kingdom of Holm.”
Grand Duke Violet also nodded. Although the desolate and melancholy melody reminded him of many memorable places, he was born and raised in Alto and did not feel any direct feelings of nostalgia.
"I am the same as you, Your Highness, but I have more experience in touring. Lucien's kind of longing contained in the music makes me feel the same. At that time, I missed Alto so much and missed the music that I and Winnie arranged together.
Home... It's a pity that in order to grasp the creation of "Love Symphony", I did not pay attention to these inspirations. Of course, I think I should not be able to create such an outstanding melody." Victor was full of praise for his students.
Othello shook his head: "This is really a work that makes me conflicted. I love the second movement so much, but I am so repelled by the other parts. I hope Evans' "Ode to Joy" will not let me down.
I won’t be so conflicted again.”
"It must be a great work comparable to "Destiny"." Natasha said resolutely, full of confidence in her good friend.
Although she relied on her status as a princess and a good friend, it was not difficult for her to hear Lucien's rehearsal, but she suppressed her curiosity and kept all her expectations until today.
Victor nodded: "I have more confidence in Lucien than in myself. I believe he will definitely produce a masterpiece."
"Don't put so much pressure on young people." Christopher glanced at them with a smile, "Of course, I also want to say, I am very, very looking forward to it!"
Grand Duke Violet said with mixed emotions: "Let us look forward to this outstanding young man bringing us wonderful music."
Count Hain, Count Lafati, Cardinal Gosser and others also showed expectant expressions.

Psalm Hall backstage.
The coughing continued one after another, and it finally calmed down.
"Mr. Evans, are you okay? How about letting Mr. Franz take over the command for you?" Fabbrini asked softly and worriedly.
Lucien covered his mouth and was quiet for a while, then shook his head: "I'm fine. The coughing is only intermittent and will not affect the command. I have been able to hold on for the past three hours. Will there be any problems in the last hour?
I'm a knight!"
Lucien had been coughing frequently during this period, but his health seemed to be quite good. At least he was not so weak that he lost strength and could not walk. So after seeing him calm down and speak smoothly, everyone put down their worries.
Then, Lucien looked at Fabbrini sincerely: "Because Alto can't find a good enough baritone singer, I can only ask you."
Opera is not as popular as symphony in Aalto, so the singers are not as good as those in Stürk, Rentat and other places.
Looking at such sincere and sincere eyes, Fabbrini blushed slightly: "Mr. Evans, don't worry, although I am not as good as a real baritone singer, after this period of practice, I am sure to perform well.
.”
With the help of some mysterious chanting skills in the church that are said to be used to temper the Paladin, he can perfectly control his throat and simulate the singing of each part, but it is more difficult to perform well, which was the difficulty in the previous rehearsals.
one.
Lucien stood up, looked around at the singers and chorus members, waved his arms encouragingly and said:
"Friends, why bother singing old tunes? Let our songs merge into a joyful chorus!"
"Let's form a joyful chorus!" Everyone present answered with arms raised.
After Fabbrini and the choir members got ready outside, Lucien straightened his tuxedo and strode out. (To be continued. For mobile phone users, please go to m. to read.)
