Does anyone else feel unsettled if things don't happen when/how they thought things would? I'm waiting to hear about something that could be really good but that so far has me in complete limbo as each day brings nothing. One minute I'm thinking, it could be this, the next minute I think, it could be that and at the back of my mind, I know what I'd like it to be. Meno makes me chew things over and over so much more, anyway and it's having a field day at the moment! I don't know if this sounds a bit garbled but I'd love to know if this was just trying circumstances, or the meno tying my brain in knots. :-\

Combination of both I would think.
I find it very frustrating when I have a plan, I've done my bit and then I have to wait to see if things turn out the way I want ....so you are not alone.
Perhaps a bit of a control thing too for me ::)
I am currently waiting on a letter that I realistically know could take months to arrive and might not even contain the news that I want.
Doesn't stop me getting a flutter when the post arrives ;D
Hope it all gets resolved for you soon and then you can relax.

Think you've hit the nail on the head, HB. It probably is a bit of both. In my case, it's a phone call but I certainly get all of a flutter whenever the phone goes, although it might not be anything to do with what I'm hoping. So my fingers will be crossed for you, too and I hope that you can also relax soon. :)
(Later)
Oh gee whizz - I've just had the call I've been waiting for and it was exactly what I'd been hoping for. Now I'm even more of a flutter! I won't bang on, but it's something musical. ::)
-
Oh go on, do tell ;D
I get unsettled - usually when my routine is likely to be upset.
-
Glad it was call you'd been waiting for Dulciana.
I too get very impatient these days waiting for things to happen, though according to hubby I've always been like this. Maybe I'm just more aware now. I try to be OK when things are at sixes & sevens, but the inner turmoil is awful.
-
Oh go on, do tell ;D
Well, CLKD, okay - I've just been asked to play a concerto, with an orchestra. :hapij:
D.

:medal:
Tickets will be on sale when ?
Lots of Practice required ……… Albert Hall gig?
-
No - our church - on our lovely organ, with the super orchestra that gives 3 concerts a year there. (I'm just thinking - this post should be in the "musicians" thread, shouldn't it? Oh well, sorry folks! ::))
-
How exciting. That's an honour indeed.
-
Oh that's lovely news.
You will still be all a flutter though ;D

Wow, well done you, that is such an honour, they must love your playing.
-
Woohoo! Go you Dulciana.... next stop, the Proms!
:foryou:

Thanks, ladies - it's a different sort of unsettled that I'm feeling now! Mind you, it's such a great piece that it can scotch that. At least, that was the effect when I was playing it, earlier today! ;)
-
Excellant Dulciana - Well Done.
Saint Seans 3?
-
Thanks Limpy. No, it's the Poulenc Organ Concerto. :)
-
We have a busy time ahead and I want it over, it's upsetting my 'routine' ……… I'm snapping, irritable, edgy ……
-
Is it your holidays that are upsetting you CLKD ?

Thanks Limpy. No, it's the Poulenc Organ Concerto. :)
I don't know it but I'll make sure I find out about it :)
This orchestra you'e playing with must be good, Poulenc ain't for the faint hearted.
-
It's lovely, Limpy (this is a great recording of it - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bF0e9CSQNXQ) - and the orchestra's good!
Sorry to hear about that, CLKD. I hope things settle down for you soon.
-
Life :-\ - 1st part of holiday is booked and we've been there before. 2nd camp site needs sorting. Generally out of sorts :-\ :sigh:
-
CLKD :hug:
-
It's lovely, Limpy (this is a great recording of it - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bF0e9CSQNXQ) - and the orchestra's good!
Thanks for that Dulciana, it's a smashing recording.
I have heard it before, as soon as the first chord was played I recognised it.
Just never knew what it was ::)
You'll have a wonderful time playing it - when is the concert?
-
Glad you enjoyed it, Limpy! It's on 12th December, so plenty of time yet. :)
-
Thanks. Hopefully by Tuesday I'll pick up again.
Holiday booked and put to the back of my mind ……. trying to take own advice and face each hour and no further!
Also - late in December I was 'part' of a very new Forum; for a few months but never felt quite accepted, I haven't been posting for 6/7 weeks and no one has contacted to see where I am ……… at least here I feel valued ;)

It can be so difficult, can't it, CLKD! Hope you're going somewhere nice!
-
Dulciana - I did try to sing (squawk) the Poulenc to OH earlier in the car.
He didn't recognise it, probably a good thing.
Played the youtube link, you posted and he recognised it instantly.
He agrees it's a good.
There's loads of time before the 12th December, you'll have loads of time to really get to know the piece.
AKA - Practicing lots.
-
............and lots, and lots! Well done for having a go at singing it, Limpy! (Was that the opening bit??) There are some great tunes in the piece, as it goes on. And some opportunities for some absolutely delicious sounds. Although it will be challenging, I'm really looking forward to putting it together with the orchestra. It'll also be lovely to be back with them again, as I did Saint Saens 3rd with them four years ago, which was an amazing experience.
(I wonder if this should move to the "musicians" thread, then we can carry on about it and similar things, there?)
-
Dulciana - Yes it was the opening bit.
I don't do singing, I've tried but I can't........
Perhaps this should move to the "musicians" thread.
Though there's a school of thought which would say Brass players aren't musicians....... ::)
-
Not sure how to do it, Limpy.........
Of course brass players are musicians! Where would the likes of Tchaik. 5, Siegfried Idyll, Glagolitic Mass, Fanfare for the Common Man, Also Sprach Zarathustra etc. etc. be without them/you? :)
-
Strange to relate, but there are those who disapprove of us (brass players), as we hightail it to the pub as soon as possible after the rehearsal / concert.
Ho hum - takes all sorts I suppose......... :whist:
-
Improving. PHEW!
