chu_totoroSoooo... we're playing this piece in school orchestra called the Armed Man. A massed piece.
So then! We're rehearsing and rehearsing, and then we hit a section called ANGRY FLAMES. Angry. grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
That section, in its essence, is 15 measures of rest, and then the entire orchestra playing + holding the same whole note for about 20 more measures.
...we're not the angry flames, we're the log beneath the angry flames. And we're not the log that's burning, either, we're the slightly damp piece wayyyyy on the bottom that the flames will never reach... BUT is still necessary to hold up the other pieces of wood so the fire doesn't collapse and can look impressive.
.......... *depressed*
I have this vision of choir/band/whatever concluding their angry flaming with a flourish! then silence. supposedly. And the conductor's eyelid starts twitching as the audience begins to look at one another in confusion, because all the strings are still playing that chord, that stupid chord, because we've all fallen asleep and are playing purely from reflex. >_____>
