The Lost Kingdom | Cor Anglais & Cinematic French Jazz

"The Lost Kingdom" (Le Royaume Perdu) is a cinematic French jazz ballad that begins with the mournful, noble cry of the cor anglais (English horn). This piece tells the story of a kingdom lost in a single glance—a melancholic realm where sorrow and pride intertwine, and where the only remaining inhabitants are the ghosts who willingly dwell in its melody.

The intimate dialogue between the cor anglais and a warm, resonant vocal unfolds over a delicate jazz trio landscape. The extended instrumental dialogue (3:45) forms the emotional core of the piece—a lyrical conversation between woodwind and piano that explores the subtle shades of longing and consolation.

The Vibe: Cinematic Jazz • Melancholic • Cor Anglais • French Vocal • Intimate • Chamber Jazz • Noir • Poetic

💬 A moment of reflection:
The song speaks of "possessing without holding" and "being possessed without disappearing." Has there been a feeling or memory in your life that you've learned to hold in this delicate way?
