Accoustic Wedding Songs

Posted in: Uncategorized | November 25th 2009 | no comments

My friend was planning to celebrate her wedding somewhere at her parents' summer time lodge, a place having a beautiful lake nearby that borders the laps of the surrounding mountains, a heavenly place dear to me as we have spent there plenty of our holidays and her choice to celebrate the wedding at that location couldn't be more perfect. The lodge was big enough to host the couple's families and few close friends, the same ones who have been guests for so many happy week-ends and holidays.

During the entire evolution of her planning I assisted her and helped in staging every event that was meant to be part of the wedding ceremony and reception. The ceremony was planned to be held outdoors with an officiant coming to perform the religious service that was to take place on the lawn that stretched on the left side of the garden. This lawn she planned to have it decorated with an arch adorned with flowers, the place where the officiant would wait with the groom for the bride to come.

Many of these details were thoroughly organized, and whenever she needed me I was close to her to provide my support and my advice. When it came to the music, I remember to have done some researches, since my friend was caught up with the floral element of her wedding celebration, therefore I offered to find the music to fit perfectly in that heavenly décor of her mountain lodge. Browsing the web pages for the wedding music and the specific songs, I came across some acoustic wedding songs that had hearing samples for the willing ones to have the possibility to listen to the songs before downloading them on the MP3 format.

I recollect the moments of audition when I found myself really surprised at the sound of this acoustic music, with the soothing touches on the guitar's strings taking out beautiful songs revealing at the same time a performance worth admiring. Listening to a Bach rendition of "Air on the G string" I was carried slowly to the realms of relaxation instantly feeling the depth of emotions that only the sound of classical music can infuse.

Moving further with the searching I found many other acoustic wedding songs, and knowing that my friend is a fan for classical music and taking into account that the ceremony and part of the reception were held outdoors in that splendid setting I forwarded my musical suggestion to my friend and her fiancé.

They both agreed on my suggestions and revising together the choices of songs, we started to figure out the way they fit inside the atmosphere of the wedding ceremony. And as such we staged my friend's "entrance" as a bride on the sound of "Jesu, Joy of Man's Deisiring" - by Bach, "Air on the G string" for the moment of exchanging the vows and the wedding rings, "Ave Maria" - the Schubert composition, for the moment of pronouncing them husband and wife and Beethoven's "Ode of Joy" for the recessional part of the ceremony.

Other choices of songs belonging to the acoustic music were also planned to be included in the displaying of the reception, especially in the moments when everybody felt the urge to relax a little and take a break from the dance floor and relax on the sounds of acoustic wedding music.
