Our quartet played at Alicia and Brendan’s wedding in ‘the Loop’ at the beginning of September. The location was grand; as one approached the hall from the entrance above, one could see the huge fountain at the front decorated with flowers and candles. Guests mentioned that they could hear our music rise up over the waterfall when they entered.
Alicia had a list of pieces she really liked from our repertoire list, and we chose prelude pieces to play from that list. The pieces we played were:
Prelude: Clair de Lune (Debussy), The Girl With the Flaxen Hair (Debussy), Selections from The Four Seasons (Vivaldi), Ave Maria (Schubert), Musetta’s Waltz from La Boheme (Puccini), and Love Theme from Romeo and Juliet
Family and Bridesmaids: Romance (Shostakovich)
Bride: Scheherazade- beginning of the 3rd movement (Rimsky-Korsakov)
Unity Candle: Air on the G String (Bach)
Recessional: Wedding March (Mendelssohn)
Postlude: Finale from Fidelio (Beethoven)
Family and Bridesmaids: Romance (Shostakovich)
Bride: Scheherazade- beginning of the 3rd movement (Rimsky-Korsakov)
Unity Candle: Air on the G String (Bach)
Recessional: Wedding March (Mendelssohn)
Postlude: Finale from Fidelio (Beethoven)
Alicia and Brendan also had a surprise guitar player playing Over the Rainbow right before their recessional which was pretty neat touch.
Congratulations Alicia and Brendan!
The older a piece of music is, the more likely we will be to find it online for free (which means no arranging fee). For example, I found a free, legal copy of the third movement of Scheherazade for Alicia and were able to easily put together a quartet version free of charge, even though it was not originally on our repertoire list.
