about

Overreaching myself to the degree of farce, I sit down, just after choral evensong has ended, and the praeternaturally-ravishing St Mary Redcliffe has emptied of people, at this church's astounding organ.

Wondrous organist and choirmaster (of St M R) Claire Alsop metaphorically holds my hand, and gently-patiently coaches-tutors me.

I default to drone and ingenuous melody.

Unedited. Churlish apprentice' hubris' discomfitures & nemesis, bare.
