One Sunday sometime in my childhood, I stepped in to play the Doxology at church. Though having not practiced the song in quite some time, I got up on stage and started to play for the room of 100+ people. Perhaps out of nervousness, I did not notice the pace at which I was playing. If each line represents 10 second intervals, it went something like this:
Praise God From Who
All blessings flow
Praise him all
creatures here
below praise him
...and so on. The slow pace at which I was playing was brought to my attention when one of the college students ran up to the piano waving his arms, telling me to speed up. Once again out of nervousness, I was inattentive to the new pace I was playing. If a line represents a 10 second interval, it went something like this:
above ye heavenly hosts praise father son and holy ghost. Amen.
Needless to say, I don't really take to public, musical performances anymore.
