Entry: Arrival of the Queen of Sheba, Handel
Signing: Arabesque No 1, Debussy
Exit: Wedding day at Trollhaugen, Grieg
We had originally agreed you would play the violin for the ceremony, and the piano from thereafter but as you can see we have chosen pieces that may well be better played on the piano. What would your advice be as I’m sure you’re far better at knowing which will work, better than us!
For the rest of the time we would like a selection of classical piano pieces, show tunes and pop tunes so that everyone can recognise and relate to something – the age range of the guests is mostly higher than might be the usual (probably 40+) as we ourselves are not a young couple 🙂
