I Think This Is The Beginning Of A Beautiful Phriendship...

Love the Water Music.......

 

You'll be fine. Just practise a bit.

Considering with what ease my best friend and I can quote from a hundred different movies in the course of a 5 minute conversation, we probably sound something like this: :P

 

[brandelynmarie]

My best friend & I do something similar with movies from the 80's & comedians...it's so much fun. :)

[Ancilla Domini]

I was out at dinner the other day with some friends, and I quoted a movie that my best friend and I both love to pieces, and it just fit so beautifully into the conversation that if you didn't know the quote like the back of your hand, you'd just let it slide. And I sorta looked around half-expecting someone to respond and then remembered that when my best friend is not at the dinner-table, no one understands my insanity. XD

[brandelynmarie]

Amen, sister ;) There's also a guy I work with who throws movie quotes into conversations. It's always funny to see who gets it & who doesn't :hehe2:

I actually had a teacher in my online classes who was like that. XD He knew that I was the only person in class who watched old movies, and he'd throw out all these old movie quotes that only he and I would understand. Then he'd get a kick out of the fact that I would giggle and no one else would know why. :P

I just sketched my first portrait that actually looked like its model! :winner: (My portraits are generally good, but don't look like their models. :P)

Edward Thomas, "Snow"
 

In the gloom of whiteness,
In the great silence of snow,
A child was sighing
And bitterly saying: 'Oh,
They have killed a white bird up there on her nest,
The down is fluttering from her breast!'
And still it fell through that dusky brightness
On the child crying for the bird of the snow.

First thing History teacher says to me, "Oh, Cilla, you are so smart!" It's going to be a good year...:P

So, I'm playing the violin three times at my cousin's wedding. :)

I'm playing a Chorus from Judas Maccabeus (Hail the Conquering Hero Comes) as a prelude before the ceremony starts.

Then I'm playing Bach's Arioso at the exchange of rings.

And finally, I'm playing Handel's Watermusic after the recessional. :)

[ChristinaTherese]

I love the Arioso! It's one of my favorite things to play.

[Ancilla Domini]

I love the Arioso! It's one of my favorite things to play.

 

Yes! It's so beautiful! I thought it would be a good piece to play there because it's not loud and it's sweet and slow without being melancholy. :)) I really love it.

(I've actually had some fun with it, like a jigsaw puzzle, because I'm not sure how long the exchange of rings is going to be, so I've written myself little notes on the music saying things like, "If it looks like you don't have that much time left, skip to measure 30" or "If you need to wrap things up here, cut out suchandsuch a note and add vii-I cadence here" and stuff like that. :P I'm sure I'll have time to play it all, since it's not all that long, if you play it straight through, and I probably won't need to use my edits, but I'd like to have them in case of necessity. :))

And today...life started. :P

First class today!
