It happened to me on Sunday, and I felt absolutely silly, though no one could see me, as the organ bench is well hidden behind the central pulpit.
At short notice I was asked to play 'Nimrod' on the organ at the Remembrance service. The offertory would be taken during it (that only takes about a minute), but then the congregation were told to listen until I had finished the piece (2min 30) I got myself worked up a bit, and my eyes filled with tears !! I have no idea why this happened, certainly it hasnt before. But it was even worse after the service when so many of the congregation came to me and said how much they enjoyed it. I managed to get out of church and into the car before I was overcome again ! What an idiot! |
