I was discussing with the Christian concert producer for the physically-needed.


I said, “Have you found any new clarinet score?”


Person-in-charge said, “No, not anyone I’ve found is good.”


I said, “Oh…”


Person-in-charge said, “No new clarinet score and no pay, no one will come over to play one piece of yours only.”


I said, “……”


Person-in-charge said, “Let’s re-orchestrate the clarinet into something else available.”


I said, “Then, the middle-low register of this piece will be left empty.”


Person-in-charge said, “But we have no better choice.”


I said, “Why do you come to a conclusion so early? The Lord hasn’t said no yet.”


Person-in-charge said, “……”


I said, “Let me ask. If I can find no one who will play in the end, I’ll re-orchestrate the clarinet part.”


Person-in-charge said, “Alright.”
…….


6 minutes later…..


I said, “Good news, some plays it.”


Person-in-charge said, “Really?”


I said, “Yes, two rehearsals, one performance, all he’ll attend.”


Person-in-charge said, “Wow, thank the Lord.”
……


Another me said, “Impossible.”


I said, “What’s impossible?”


Another me said, “No money, but agreement made in 6 minutes, impossible.”


I said, “But he did make the agreement.”


Another me said, “What is your relationship with the clarinetist?”


I said, “I’m the composer. He’s my performer. We’d some music collaboration work for a few times before.”


Another me said, “That’s it. You know each other. He has to do you a favor."


I said, “Why on earth did he have to do a favor for some poor music student with no back-up organisation as I am?”


Another me said, “Right? This is a business that he’s doomed to lose. Why did he take your invitation then?”


I said, “Actually, it’s as simple as….”


Another me said, “You paid him?”


I said, “No.”


Another me said, “You composed another piece as an alternative payment?”


I said, “No.”


Another me said, “You begged him?”


I said, “No, I asked in WhatsApp.”


Another me said, “Strange! How to grasp a talent then?”


I said, “No need to grasp. In 6 minutes, the Lord can call the talent to come over on his own.”
