I'm not much for certain other kinds of music, and I definitely do not listen to certain varieties of music if and when I can possibly ever avoid doing so, of course, for various reasons. Just so you know, jg2977. CD out.

It wouldn't hurt to sample some Mahler, would it now? There's a reason why when orchestras do concerts of his music, they are usually completely sold out. You could sample some it, and if you decide you like it great. If you don't, that's ok too. I could give you suggestions of what to listen too. I am a Mahler expert and own over 150 recordings of his symphonies.
Mahler's 7th symphony also keeps with the dark to light theme, in the progression of night to day. There are beautiful melodies and orchestrations throughout.
Finally, I bet you would love Mahler's 2nd symphony. It is frequently known as "The Resurrection." The progression of the work follows a narrative from death to life, beginning with a funeral march and ending with the triumph of resurrection. It is the work that made me fall in love with Mahler's music. I listened to Sir Simon Rattle conducting the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra.
His music may give you ideas and inspiration for your book.
