Wedding Music
My youngest niece got married this weekend and she had asked me
to play guitar for it. I just played while people were
coming into the place and getting seated. It was out doors
at a house with a fairly large back yard. We thought I would only
play for about 15 or 20 minutes which was fine with me as I
didn't really have a lot of music to play. I used the event as
a motive to brush up some old pieces and try to re-commit them to
memory. Well, I ended up playing a little more than 30 minutes
I think. I did take some music along and I played a few things that
I hadn't looked at for years. These were a little rough but I
also just repeated the songs I did know several times.
There must have been about 120 people there. I was surprised
that people were quiet and seemed to be listening. Well this was
encouraging and I really feel that the music fit pretty well. I
played mostly Baroque music with a few Renaissance tunes thrown it.
These were mostly in the major keys. All in all it was a fun
event. I think I will try to work up more wedding music and
try to make myself available to do this more if I can.
