3. Alphons Diepenbrock (1862-1921)
Born in Amsterdam to a prosperous family, as a boy he had some violin lessons, but was largely self taught. He learned the piano by playing piano reductions of Wagner's music. In 1880 he went to study classics at the University of Amsterdam, receiving his Doctorate in 1888, with a dissertation, in Latin, on Seneca. That same year in s'Hertogenbosch, he got a teaching job but the composition bug was getting the better of him, so in 1895 he returned to Amsterdam (where he lived for the rest of his life), working as a private teacher of classics and composition.
Many of his works were unpublished in his lifetime, although the conductor Willem Mengelberg and others advised him to conduct his own music. He also conducted other composers works including, in 1908, Mahler's fourth symphony. He loved music and literature and the poetry of his day, and with his academic background in the classics, was inspired by Greek and Latin writings. His musical influences included Wagner and Debussy.
For today, here is a fabulous, huge and atmospheric orchestral song called, In The Great Silence. Please enjoy!
More exceptional orchestral songs:
Hans Sommer - Sapphos Gesange, Op.6
Othmar Schoeck - Elegie, Op.36

Is the sketched lizard character with mama Alma Hemlock Siro ect a winged Alphys? Or inspired by Alphys? Could u tell us more about them?
Her name is Alphons! She was originally meant to be a descendant of Alphys but has since been redesigned and repurposed for my own story and universe.
She's a small electric dragon and a robotics/technology specialist! She's a little nervous in social situations but is super confident in her work. She would yap for hours about robotics if you let her
