Ocean String Quartet
“There is a pleasure by the deep sea... and music in its roar.”- Lord Byron SELECTING YOUR MUSIC Music, like the ocean, can transport us on a journey, and lift us to new places and experiences. We’re able to feel peaceful, excited or joyful. Through music we can express emotions in a unique way and with the special person we love. Music also creates an atmosphere that provides lasting memories of a very special event. Many thus view music for their events as a way to show how they feel about not only themselves but those they celebrate their event with--- their family and friends. The Ocean String Quartet would like to support you in your selection of music by providing a brief outline of the music many people choose to compliment their wedding ceremonies and/or receptions. CEREMONY MUSIC SELECTION PRELUDE The time before the wedding ceremony sets the general mood of what is to follow. We suggest that the music selected be tranquil and reflective so as to build the anticipation of the wedding party’s entrance. Prelude music is generally played anywhere from 15-20 minutes before the ceremony and is a great backdrop for the guests to arrive to. SUGGESTED MUSIC: Air on the G String – Bach, Largo from “The Four Seasons”-Vivaldi, Jesu Joy of Man’s Desiring- Bach PROCESSIONAL This is the moment that the music will officially announce the beginning of the wedding ceremony. Depending on the size of the bridal party and who are considered part of it (e.g.: mothers of the bride and groom, bridesmaids, flower girls and ring bearer) this may include several pieces of music, one for the bridal party and one for the bridal entrance. There is also an option of one selection whereby the Quartet can increase its expression when signaled that the bride is coming. Either option is beautifully effective. SUGGESTED MUSIC FOR BRIDE/BRIDAL PARTY: Pachelbel’s Canon, Wagner’s Wedding March, Te Deum, Water Music Finale, Allelujah/Exultate Jubilante
SUGGESTED MUSIC: Upbeat Classical: (e.g.Eine Kleine Nachtmusik, Palladio), Tangos, Swing Music and/or Modern Rock (e.g.: Beatles)
