Tonight we had the honor of playing as a violin and cello duo for a wedding in the Beaver Creek Chapel. The couple was blessed with bright blue skies accented by snow covered slopes.
The musical selections played for the prelude were energetic and upbeat as we were asked to avoid the slower standard wedding pieces. The bridal processional music included Pachebel's Canon, Bach's Sheep May Safely Graze, Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring, and Air.
Maintaining the excitement of the celebration, we played Handel's La Rejouissance and Hornpipe as the couple and their guests exited the chapel after a beautiful ceremony. We enjoyed the challenge of maintaining the upbeat feel the couple desired musically, as well as the opportunity to play some less well known beautiful classical pieces.
