Ensemble

[ikyrian]

I got an email from Professor Chua today proclaiming that instead of being in a chamber ensemble with several people, I'm to be apart of a duet, with a saxophone major. Major freak out time.

Ok, I haven't really practiced the saxophone going onto two years now. I was rather hoping that I would be able to do something small and fun and with a lot of people to back me up. It's been so long since I've had lessons or anything like that.

And I have absolutely no idea what her skill level is! I mean, am I going to be totally blown out of the water?? What if they LAUGH at me!! *more freaking out* While, I don't think they'll laugh at me, per se, but I could just imagine being completely mortified when they realize I'm not quite as good as they may think I am.

And another thing! I'll probably be stuck with all of the boring second parts. Gah!! I spent most of my highschool career being principle alto by virtue that I was the oldest or the only one! I don't know if I can stuff my self back into the second best role.

*continues to freak out while trying to work on polisearch work*

You did? Second alto was never ever better in the music we played. I mean, alto's a pretty much ignored for the most part as just filler instruments with only the occasional melody...harmony just never was my thing. I think I'm a soloist at heart.
