#2nd symphony

[psy-kylo-gy]

Finally, Act V Day 3 of A Day in the Life of TchaikovsKYLO Ren! Our favorite messy boy has at last renounced the dark side and reclaimed his true self: Ben Tchaikovsolo! Surprises await for both him and his headstrong waifu who is challenging Emperor Ovaltine all alone. Reylo chaos ensues but can love save the day?

Catch up with the entire series here

Well first off I'm so sorry for the wait on this, I had it 99% finished since 2020 but just lost the heart to post it during Covid and my subsequent depression. I really wanted the people who love this series to know that I haven't abandoned it, and the finale is mostly done as well and I'm so excited to bestow Reylo with a GOOD ENDING they deserve.

As always, I want to dedicate this to some special folks who've motivated me and given me such kindness and patience over the years. I'm SO grateful for the love and support and I really hope you enjoy this one, Ben is (of course) a lot of fun: @pandoraspocksao3 @blackeyedlily @violet1979 @missrenaeann-blog @maryloki3000 @fangiosfriend

O believe, my heart, O believe:Nothing to you is lost!Yours is, yes yours, is what you desiredYours, what you have lovedWhat you have fought for! O believe,You were not born for nothing!Have not for nothing, lived, suffered! What was createdMust perish,What perished, rise again!Cease from trembling!Prepare yourself to live! O Pain, You piercer of all things,From you, I have been wrested!O Death, You masterer of all things,Now, are you conquered! With wings which I have won for myself,In love’s fierce striving,I shall soar upwardsTo the light which no eye has penetrated! Die shall I in order to live.Rise again, yes, rise again,Will you, my heart, in an instant!That for which you suffered,To God will it lead you!—Gustav Mahler

One of the most inspirational and touching works I have ever listened to. It was this piece which helped bring me into appreciating the world of orchestral music within my own love of conducting.

There is something about this work which transcends all else. It manages to describe all things there are to describe about the struggles and motivations of life itself. When the chorus enters later on in the symphony, it is an entrance which truly speaks to the depths of the heart and brings us to a point of calmness. And then to the finale - a finale which brings together all the musical forces one can imagine. One cannot help but feel euphoric after hearing the entirety of this work to the momentous conclusion.
