This afternoon, we played for a beautiful wedding at the Beaver Creek Chapel coordinated by JoAnn Moore of Mountains and Meadows.
Our prelude consisted a a couple of contemporary pieces mixed in with several classical pieces. We started off with Beethoven's 'Ode To Joy' from his ninth symphony, followed by Cohen/Buckley's 'Hallelujah', Bach's 'Ave Verum Corpus' - a slow and beautifully melodic piece, Enya's 'Only Time', an old Irish traditional 'Danny Boy' or 'Londonderry Air', Bach's 'Sheep May Safely Graze', Bach's 'Air', and we finished the prelude music with Bach's 'Arioso'.
Just prior to the processional, fellow musician Pat Hamilton beautifully performed a vocal and guitar solo of John Denver's 'Annie's Song'. She also performed several of the hymns throughout the ceremony.
The clergy, family members, and attendants all entered to Bach's 'Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring', and then the bride entered to the old Elvis tune 'Can't Help Falling in Love With You'.
During the ceremony, as the bride and groom lit the unity candle, we quietly played Gounound's 'Ave Maria'.
As the couple were presented to their family and friends for the first time as a married couple, we performed 'Here Comes the Sun' a familiar Beatles tune for the recessional. We concluded with Handel's 'La Rejouissance', and finally Handel's 'Entrance of the Queen of Sheba'.
It was our pleasure to play for this wedding on a perfect Colorado March day!
