Beaver Creek Wedding - January 23, 2010

Today we played as a violin & cello duo for a beautiful wedding in the Beaver Creek Chapel. Our prelude went for about twenty minutes and consisted of the following pieces: Brahm's 'St. Anthony Chorale,' Bach's 'Sheep May Safely Graze,' Telemann's 'Presto,' Schubert's 'Andante,' Massenet's 'Meditation,' finishing with 'Be thou my vision,' a traditional Irish melody.

For the processional, the family members entered and the mothers lit the unity candles, and the bridesmaids entered while we played Pachebel's Canon in the background.

We then switched to Bach's 'Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring' for the bridal entrance.

As a personal touch for the unity candle, the mother had requested that we play 'Annie's Song' by John Denver as the bride's name is Annie.

As the ceremony ended, we played Handel's 'La Rejouissance' as the happy couple were pronounced man and wife and walked back down the aisle together.

Beaver Creek Weddding ~ January 9, 2010

Today we played for our first wedding of 2010.
This was a destination wedding, coordinated by Lisa Vorce of "Oh, How Charming" of Santa Ana, California.

We began our prelude as the guests entered, with classical favorites, "Sheep May Safely Graze", "Pastorale", Handel's "Largo", Vivaldi's "Largo", and "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring".

The parents and grandparents entered to "Ode to Joy", while the bridesmaids followed to an upbeat arrangement of the ever appropriate, "Edelweiss".

As a surprise, we were asked to keep everything classical until the bridal processional, which the bride had requested be The Beatle's "Norwegian Wood".

As the ceremony ended, after the bride and groom were presented to the audience, they enjoyed their first walk back down the aisle together to "Here Comes the Sun" by the Beatles.

As family and guests exited, we maintained played Elvis' "Can't Help Falling In Love", "La Rejouissance", Vivaldi's "Spring", and "Bygone Days".
