Background of the inspiration for 'Hippocampus Prayer'

The melody
changes its tone
changes its form
and appears time and time again

Sometimes gloomily
sometimes violently

And
sometimes
it quietly takes on a glow

Perhaps life is the same,
and the reason trials visit us

is, like this piece of music,
so that we may eventually
shine brighter from the depths of despair

That is why
I want to keep moving forward
without forgetting hope

Until the day I am wrapped
in a soft warmth
like the tone of a horn

Thank you for reading.
I am also grateful to those who have made their way to TALES.

Tchaikovsky's 'Symphony No. 5'
It is characterized by a theme (melody) reminiscent of 'fate' that appears repeatedly throughout all movements. The theme appears in different forms in each movement, changing from anxiety to prayer, and finally into a powerful sound.

Although I have linked only the second movement, this is a performance video where the relationship between the melody and the instruments is very easy to understand. It is a video where you can clearly see the melody shifting from the horn to the clarinet, and then to the oboe. It is a wonderful performance that conveys even the breath of the performers.
You can feel the 'heaviness' and 'darkness' peculiar to Russian orchestras, the emotion expressed by Petrenko, and the feeling that the melody is seeping out rather than just being spoken.
