“I feel peace while worship”
Music composed by Victor Castillo and Milagros Salazar. Performed by Victor Castillo. Recorded at Mango Studios, July 2025.

When I enter into worship, a sacred stillness embraces me. It feels as though rivers of divine light pour gently over my soul, cleansing every corner of my heart and washing away the noise of the world. Each breath becomes a song, each moment a dance between the eternal flame above and the quiet spark within.

In that space, time dissolves. The burdens I carry seem to melt like snow under the warmth of the sun. My thoughts, often restless and scattered, are gathered into a single point of clarity—as if a hidden voice whispers, “Be still, and know that I am.”

There is a river whose waters bring joy to my soul. This river flows not from the earth, but from the higher realms, where peace is not an idea but a living presence. In worship, I feel this presence surround me like a gentle embrace. It penetrates my being so deeply that even the places in me that have long been dry and desolate begin to bloom again.

The fire of heaven touches the fire of my heart. I realize then that peace is not the absence of noise or conflict; it is the harmony between my spirit and the One who created all things. I am no longer a separate drop in the ocean; I become part of the endless sea of divine love.

As I lift my voice, the heavens seem to open. I hear the silent music of creation—the soft rustling of angelic wings, the vibration of light itself. And in that moment, I understand: the Eternal blesses His people with peace, a peace that surpasses all understanding, guarding hearts and minds like a radiant shield.

Here, in worship, I am home. Here, I remember who I am: a soul clothed in light, created to reflect the Infinite. And here, I rest, knowing I am held by arms that never grow weary.

This piece is an inspiration from the heart, born from the peace and love of God, and invites every listener to encounter that same eternal embrace.

"Sous les Feuilles de Versailles" de Victor Castillo est une œuvre musicale profondément évocatrice, mêlant des éléments médiévaux avec une touche de Renaissance et une sensibilité moderne. Inspirée par la quiétude dorée du feuillage couvrant les jardins de Versailles, cette composition invite l’auditeur à une promenade sonore sous les ombres nobles, la lumière filtrée et les souvenirs murmurés d’un passé royal.

Chaque note tombe comme une feuille en automne, avec délicatesse et grâce. L’art naît sous les feuilles, là où nature et histoire dansent ensemble dans une harmonie raffinée. Les instruments d'époque, les cordes douces et les respirations mélodiques rappellent l’élégance ancienne de la cour française.

Victor Castillo parvient à capturer, à travers cette pièce instrumentale, non seulement un lieu, mais une émotion : celle d’être au cœur vibrant de Versailles, entouré de beauté, d’art et de silence sacré. Cette œuvre est une invitation à se laisser porter par le vent, entre les branches, là où l’âme de la France murmure encore.

"Art Sous les Feuilles de Versailles" by Victor Castillo (Under the Leaves of Versailles) is a deeply evocative musical piece, blending medieval elements with a touch of Renaissance and a modern sensibility. Inspired by the golden stillness beneath the foliage of the Versailles gardens, the composition invites listeners on a sonic walk through noble shadows, dappled sunlight, and whispered memories of royal times.

Each note falls like an autumn leaf—soft, graceful, poetic. Art is born beneath the leaves, where nature and history waltz in delicate harmony. Period instruments, gentle strings, and melodic breaths echo the ancient elegance of the French court.

Victor Castillo masterfully captures, through sound alone, not just a place but a feeling: standing in the living heart of Versailles, surrounded by natural and spiritual beauty. This instrumental work invites you to pause, close your eyes, and be carried away by the rustling of trees, the wind, and the soul of France.

"Sous les Feuilles de Versailles" de Victor Castillo (Bajo las hojas de Versalles) es una obra musical profundamente evocadora, que entrelaza elementos medievales con un toque renacentista y una sensibilidad contemporánea. Inspirada en la quietud dorada del follaje que cubre los jardines de Versalles, esta composición invita al oyente a caminar entre sombras nobles, luces filtradas y memorias que susurran desde los siglos pasados.

La pieza transcurre como un paseo íntimo bajo las hojas de castaños centenarios, donde cada nota parece caer suavemente como una hoja en otoño. El arte se manifiesta "sous les feuilles" (bajo las hojas), donde la naturaleza y la historia se funden en una danza delicada de belleza y contemplación. Con texturas sonoras que evocan los antiguos paseos de la corte francesa, los instrumentos de época, las cuerdas suaves y los suspiros melódicos pintan un cuadro auditivo de elegancia y melancolía.

Victor Castillo logra, a través de esta obra instrumental, capturar no solo un lugar, sino una emoción: la de encontrarse en el corazón palpitante de Versalles, rodeado de belleza natural y espiritual. Esta composición invita a detenerse, cerrar los ojos y dejarse llevar por el susurro de los árboles, el viento y el alma de Francia.
