Title: good wedding music?
Post by: ninwa on February 09, 2010, 10:32:55 pm: I've been asked to play entry, background and certificate-signing music for some weddings to be held at the Births, Deaths and Marriages Register this Sunday ... the most cliche day of the year -_-

Problem: I've never been to a wedding in my life.
Solution (?): suggest me wedding-ish music!!

I'm supposed to be playing "soothing" and "dreamy" music... preferably classical but if you know any nice jazzy ones etc. that'll do too...

You can play Canon in all the keys, do a few arrangements, and repeat that a couple of times

Post by: the.watchman on February 10, 2010, 06:34:17 am: As you mentioned earlier, I agree with your choice of Jesu Joy of Man's Desire :D
I would definitely suggest something Baroque, it suits the best for weddings
