"It's indeed an unprecedented masterpiece!”Bishop Vassily nodded.
"That's good. I also heard that Bishop Paul from the Holy Region will be here soon?”Catherine II asked curiously.
"Yes, His Majesty is well-informed. In a while, this bishop will come over!”
"Please introduce me to him, okay?”the tsar said.
"Of course, even if you didn't instruct me, I would have done so!”Bishop Vasily smiled.
"Thank you so much!" The Tsar was very excited. When she was still the daughter of the Duke of Princes, she had always yearned for the bishops and popes of the Holy Region.
Now, they finally had the chance to receive the teachings of the Lord in front of them. This was an incomparable glory.
"Time is tight, excuse me!”
Yang Yin bowed and came to the front of the band. He clapped a few times and said,"Alright, alright, you can stop now!”
The band stopped rehearsing. They had adapted well and no longer needed to worry.
"Everyone can move freely first. When the performance starts later, just follow your current state, understand?”Yang Yin said loudly.
"Got it, boss!" The band members responded loudly.
"Very good, let's disperse and relax!"
Yang Yin called for servants to replace the long benches in the cathedral with a larger number of single chairs. They were arranged in front of the band. At a glance, many people could sit because the cathedral was large enough!
After a while, the invited nobles and celebrities came one after another.
The nobles brought their wives and even their lovers. Other than that, there were also many noble ladies and daughters who were alone.
Since it was an invitation from the Eastern Orthodox Church, priests and nuns with status, as well as bishops, priests, and nuns from outside the empire, all came.
The entire hall of the cathedral was very lively.
Bishop Vasily brought the Tsar and musician Yang Yin to introduce them to people from the religious world. For a moment, the guests were delighted.
All the nobles who had been invited to watch Yang Yin's performance were full of admiration for him. Those who had never come into contact with Yang Yin were naturally very curious.
"Baron Wester is really young and promising…"
"Is he the young musician who recently became famous in St. Petersburg?”
"Look at the symphony orchestra in front. It seems to be very good. It's much more formal than the poor orchestras in other countries.”
" Look at their attire. They're all the same. God, why do they have so many instruments? Some of them are even instruments that we've never seen before…"
"I'm really looking forward to today's performance. I heard that Baron Wester composed this song for the Orthodox Church?”
"Look, over there is Grand Duke Diana, the Princess of Bava, Emperor Catherine II, and Bishop Paul from the Sanctuary. God, how many big shots are here today?”
……
While the nobles and clergymen were discussing, Yang Yin and the Tsar were meeting Bishop Paul.
Bishop Paul looked to be in his forties. He was skinny and his hair was graying. He was in good spirits and his eyes were filled with wisdom.
He was dressed in a red robe and was very eye-catching.
Everyone saluted him because he was one of the Lord's representatives in the human world and the person closest to the Lord.
" Cardinal…" These words echoed in Yang Yin's mind.
"Baron Wester, nice to meet you!”Bishop Paul smiled and shook hands with Yang Yin.
"It is my honor, Your Excellency!”Yang Yin was proud of him.
"When I visited Poland, I heard from the merchants and nobles who came to Poland that a great young musician had recently appeared in St. Petersburg.”
"Milord, you flatter me. They are all loved by the public!”
"I am also passionate about music, especially music that praises the Lord. I heard from Bishop Vasily that you have created several great works for the Lord?”
"I dare not say that it is great, but it is indeed a work of praise to the Lord!”
"That's good. I also heard that you're going to conduct the orchestra today and perform a piece of work you composed. What's the name of that piece?”
"Mass Solemn in D major!"
"So it's Misa. Very good. I like Misa very much too. Of course, so does Cantata!”Bishop Paul said.
The so-called cantata, in layman's terms, was a vocal suite that included solo, duet, and chorus. It usually contained more than one movement.
Most of them were accompanied by orchestral music, which was very similar to the characteristics of the Chinese chorus. Therefore, it was once mistook as a chorus.
"What a coincidence, I have also created a few cantata, if you have time, please give me some pointers!”
"Haha, that's good. I'm looking forward to your next performance!”
"Thank you!"
Yang Yin took out his pocket watch and glanced at it.""It's almost time, Your Eminence Bishop, I'll take my leave!”
"Please perform well!" Bishop Paul encouraged and followed Bishop Vasily, the Tsar, Grand Duke Diana, and the other nobles into the best seats.
At this time, Veronica played a piece of " Autumn Whispers." Everyone quieted down and the guests took their seats.
The members of the orchestra were all in position.
The clergymen of the church cooperated and closed the curtains of the windows. The entire cathedral was instantly shrouded in darkness, and the atmosphere was instantly set off.
Yang Yin held his baton and stood on the round platform. In front of him was a music score.
" Da da da…" Yang Yin tapped the wooden support of the music score with his baton. Instantly, everyone's attention was focused on Yang Yin.
"What a handsome young man!" Some noble ladies and nuns sighed. Just looking at Yang Yin, who was standing on the round platform with a baton in his hand, was a pleasing enjoyment.
"It's no wonder that such a young musician is so popular among the rich ladies!”Countless nobles praised. Some of their eyes lit up, and no one knew what they were up to.
" The orchestra performance is about to begin..." Everyone understood that the symphony was about to begin. The entire cathedral fell silent. They could even hear the faint breathing of the people.
