09:15 Litvinovsky - Pelléas and Mélisande: I. Ils étaient comme des enfants (They were like children)
This is my first time coming across this channel and playlist, these two hours have inspired me and helped me make progress on a novel I'm writing and hoping to get published, words cannot describe how happy I've been working on it with this music in the background <3
13:19 Litvinovsky - Pelléas and Mélisande: X. Les ombres dans le jardin (Shadows in the garden)
16:24 Litvinovsky - Pelléas and Mélisande: VI. Ballade. Les trois sœurs aveugles (Ballad. Three blind sisters)
Dear writers, readers. I hope you'll enjoy this part of the book i'm writing. Name : Rose Turquoise
The city had gone to sleep in a traumatizing silence, only to wake up to a storm of rumors spreading across every social circle. Everyone had something to add — whether to make the story more horrifying or to give it a fantastical spin. The common folk, gripped by a nameless psychosis, watched their neighbors with suspicion, scrutinizing any behavior they deemed out of the ordinary. Faith became their last line of defense against the razor-thin boundary separating hell from paradise. Never had the cathedral been so packed. Even the most hardened skeptics found themselves sitting through a sermon, seeking some measure of protection against whatever creatures of darkness might be lurking. The scriptures had never felt so real.
As for the upper classes, they retreated further behind their gilded walls, shamelessly pointing fingers at the poor. After all, if the devil had chosen to manifest among that lot, it was hardly a coincidence. Filth attracted filth. But above all, every eye turned once again toward Crystal Castle, which remained conspicuously silent. As usual. Yet that morning, in the thick tension of his study, King Cinéad was endlessly signing royal correspondence. The letters, meant to be dispatched to every corner of the kingdom, spared no words, a call for heightened vigilance among the population. The threat had been identified, yet putting it into words proved to be a peculiar exercise in itself. In the end, setting aside the finer conventions of language, only blunt and unvarnished truth had prevailed.
"Has the cursed squadron already set out?" he asked the guard without lifting his eyes from his parchments.
"They should be leaving the castle within the hour, Your Majesty."
"And Captain Orion?"
"He chose to distance himself from them and rode out before dawn, Your Majesty."
"I had expected him to seek an audience before his departure… Though perhaps it is just as well. Anything else?"
"No, Your Majesty."
The king abruptly stopped what he was doing, his gaze drifting into the void before refocusing on the guard before him.
"Where do we stand on the investigation?"
"We have located the man of the cloth. Unsurprisingly, he is one of your subjects serving at the cathedral. As for the soldier, no trace whatsoever."
"That is inconceivable. A man in this army single-handedly brought down a creature that defies every belief we hold, and you're telling me he's keeping a low profile? That makes no sense. Have you heard nothing among the ranks? Is there not a soldier who has been suspiciously relieved of all duties these past few days?"
"No, Your Majesty. It would appear the man has no interest in recognition."

اكتب ام افكر فكلاهما نفس النتيجة و الشعور ذاته ولاكن دعني أخبرك: لن تشرق نهاري من جديد لأن كل اوقاتي أصبحت ظهيرة ، لأنني الشمسُ في كوكبي و لا يقدر لك الوجود بالقرب مني اساساً ليس لإماً مني و إنما إغلاق كوكبي بغلافاً مناسب لقوة اشتي التي لن تتحملها عيناك و جلد قلبك و غلاف باطنك المعقد...

1:08:22 Brahms - Variations on a Theme by Haydn, Op. 56a: I. Theme (Chorale St. Anthony)
Luke 16:19-31ㅤ—ㅤThe Rich Man and Lazarus
ㅤ
19 “Now there was a rich man, and he habitually dressed in purple and fine linen, joyously living in splendor every day. 20 But a poor man named Lazarus was laid at his gate, covered with sores, 21 and desiring to be fed with the crumbs which were falling from the rich man’s table; besides, even the dogs were coming and licking his sores. 22 Now it happened that the poor man died and was carried away by the angels to Abraham’s bosom, and the rich man also died and was buried.
ㅤ
23 And in Hades he lifted up his eyes, being in torment, and saw Abraham far away and Lazarus in his bosom. 24 And he cried out and said, ‘Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus so that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool off my tongue, for I am in agony in this flame.’ 25 But Abraham said, ‘Child, remember that during your life you received your good things, and likewise Lazarus bad things. But now he is being comforted here, and you are in agony. 26 And besides all this, between us and you there is a great chasm fixed, so that those who wish to come over from here to you are not able, and none may cross over from there to us.’ 27 And he said, ‘Then I am asking you, father, that you send him to my father’s house— 28 for I have five brothers—in order that he may warn them, so that they will not also come to this place of torment.’ 29 But Abraham said, ‘They have Moses and the Prophets; let them hear them.’ 30 But he said, ‘No, father Abraham, but if someone goes to them from the dead, they will repent!’ 31 But he said to him, ‘If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, they will not be persuaded even if someone rises from the dead.’”

And now I think I know where c418 got inspiration
If another video like this is made, my vote is for music that is truly instrumental pieces only. Instrumental versions of songs usually just brings the lyrics to mind, which interferes with my ability to write
