Charles Gounod - Hymne à Sainte Cécile CG 557 transcribed by Franz Liszt, S.491:

One of Gounod's loveliest melodies, in Liszt's transcription goes from calm and serene, to ecstatic.

If like me, you need something to cheer you up, I think this piece will do it.

Leslie Howard recorded it in his Complete Liszt for Hyperion in Vol.23 "Liszt - Berlioz, Gounod, Meyerbeer Transcriptions".

The transcription by Charles-Wilfrid Bériot, fils is also very fine.

I saw a few posts about converting video to audio, and grabbing from Youtube. I couldn't find either of these widely used tools mentioned:

The freeware tool jdownloader 2 (https://jdownloader.org/jdownloader2) allows you to grab URLs from YouTube, Soundcloud, Vimeo etc and select which video and audio streams you'd like to download. I've been using it or years. If you set up a jdownloader account you can also grab URLs on your phone and pass them back to your desktop computer for downloading.

As a general download manager it can be used to grab multiple URLs (hundreds or thousands at a time if needed) and then you can queue them up after deciding which files you do or don't want. It's great for getting content from Mediafire etc.

The freeware video player VLC also allows you to convert videos and extract audio. https://www.vlchelp.com/convert-video-audio-mp3/
