"Writing a song for St. Petersburg's Eastern Orthodox Cathedral?”Yang Yin was shocked. Wasn't this too much of an honor?
The Russian Empire during the Tsar era believed in the Orthodox Church. The Eastern Orthodox Church in St. Petersburg represented the supreme theocracy.
Although the divine power was gradually declining, its influence would not be small even after a few hundred years.
"It's such an honor, Lord Cult Master. However, if you want to compose a good song, you still have to take a look at the Eastern Orthodox Cathedral first!”Yang Yin said.
"Of course. When will you return to the palace?”
"Tomorrow morning!" Catherine II said.
"Then do you mind if I enter the city with you? I still have to return to the Eastern Orthodox Cathedral. There are still many things to do there!”
"That's great!" The tsar immediately agreed. This was such a meaningful matter. She took the bus back to the city with the bishop of the Orthodox Church.
Was this a sign to the world that he had obtained the support of the theocracy?
"Alright, it's settled then. Wester, what other songs have you composed recently? Can you let me, this old fellow, share it with you?”Bishop Vasily smiled.
"What a coincidence. Last night, I composed a piano piece for His Majesty called 'Catherine by the Water'…Why don't I play it for His Excellency?”
"If you can, that would be great!”
"It's my honor!"
Everyone arrived at the piano room. The maids served tea from the eastern countries. Yang Yin sat in front of the piano excitedly and began to play " Adeline by the Water ".
This song was named " Catherine by the Water " by Yang Yin because it was dedicated to the female tsar.
Beautiful notes flowed like flowing water.
" It's so beautiful…This song is so intoxicating that I can't extricate myself…" Bishop Vasily shook his head and was completely engrossed in listening. He didn't realize that Yang Yin had already played the song for the second time.
"That's enough!" Vassily stood up reluctantly and sighed.""Wester, it's been hard on you. Your arm is still injured, and I still let you play…"
"It's fine. I've rested for two days. As long as I don't exercise or pull violently, my arm won't have too many problems!”Yang Yin said humbly.
"That's good!"
Bishop Vasily began to discuss music with Yang Yin, including symphonies and various instruments…
Only then did Yang Yin realize that this archbishop was a music maniac.
The next morning.
The luxurious carriage returned to St. Petersburg with a group of guards protecting it.
The convoy entered the city and moved on the wide road. Soon, the convoy stopped in front of a huge and magnificent church.
"We're here, Your Majesty. Wester, would you like to come with me to the church?”Bishop Vasily said.
"Alright!"
Catherine II did not refuse.
Yang Yin followed him in and saw that the cathedral was very magnificent. The beautiful Russian religious buildings blew against his face. Walking in the cathedral hall, he felt very small.
Bishop Vasily showed Yang Yin around and told her some interesting stories about the Orthodox Church and the church.
Yang Yin was in a good mood.
" Sister, do you have a blank sheet of music? Give it to me. I want to make a song..." Yang Yin smiled at the silly and sweet sister.
The nun blushed, drew a cross, and turned around to get a pen and paper.
Yang Yin quickly wrote notes on the blank staff. Sometimes, he was very fast, but sometimes, he was stagnant, as if he was thinking.
" Shh…" Bishop Vassily gestured to the crowd and then waved his hand. Most of them understood and quietly left.
After a while, a song was "composed".
"Here, Bishop Vasily, please take a look at this song. Oh, I've also attached the lyrics…This song is just an appetizer. If you allow me, I plan to create a series of majestic movements for the Orthodox Church, all about praising the Lord!”Yang Yin said.
"Of course, of course. We'll do as you say. If the score is really perfect, the Orthodox Church won't let you waste your time…Hmm, the name of this song is 'Amazing Grace? " It's a pretty good name. Let me see how the lyrics are…" Bishop Vasily was soon attracted by the lyrics.
As he beat the beat, he hummed like a devout believer protecting the Lord's treasure.
" That's great, that's great. This song is perfect. It can be sung solo or in chorus. It can also be used as a symphony, and it can even be played on the piano alone..."
Bishop Vasily was like a child, shouting excitedly as if he had found a treasure.
Everyone was dumbfounded!
Catherine II smiled and secretly gave Wester a thumbs up.
"Thank you for your love, Lord Bishop!" Yang Yin bowed humbly and elegantly.
" Your Excellency, on behalf of all the members of the Eastern Orthodox Church, I thank you. This song of yours was simply created for us. From tomorrow onwards, I will let all the clergymen learn this song…"
" Thank you. About the series of majestic movements…" Yang Yin asked.
"Of course, of course it will be composed by you. I'm really looking forward to your next performance!”Bishop Vasily was excited.
