KRISTAL SCHWARTZ BARLAAN

 


The Ceremony:

    Harpist arrives one hour before the ceremony begins to set up, tune, and prepare                                                           

    the harp.


    Prelude music begins 30 minutes prior to the beginning of the ceremony, while    

    guests are being seated.


    Music for the parents, attendants, and bride is available from harpist's repertoire.    

     Special requests may be made in advance.

     Helpful Hints for Weddings:



Choosing Music


Prelude:

    Prelude music sets the tone of the entire wedding event. Mood music of                

    mostly classical and popular songs is recommended. The most common

    requests are:


        A Time for Us by Nina Rotio

        Think of Me By Andrew Webber

        Wind Beneath My Wings


Music for Family and Bridesmaids:

   This music signals the beginning of the ceremony and is geared for the

    bridal party and family members of your choice (Mothers, Fathers and             

   Grandparents) to walk down the aisle. The most common requests are:


        Jesu, Joy of Man Desiring by J.S. Bach

        Canon in D by Pachelbel

        A Time for Us from Romeo and Juliet

        Spring by Vivaldi


Processional:

    The processional marks the entrance of the bride and whomever is                                

    escorting her down the aisle. Both traditional and non-traditional favorites        

    include:


           Bridal Chorus by Wagner

           Ode To Joy by Beethoven

           Canon in D by Pachelbel

           Water Music by Handel


Ceremony:

    For longer ceremonies it adds a wonderful touch to have quiet    

    background music during such segments as: lighting candles, presenting

    flowers to parents,  exchanging rings or just time for reflection. It is not

    recommended to have music

    during talking or speeches. Some lovely pieces for this time are:


        Think of Me by A. L Webber

        All I Ask of You by A. L. Webber,

        Down by the Garden an Irish Love Song


Recessional:

    At the ceremony's completion, joyous, up-beat, and triumphant music is

    the  best. Among those most requested:


        The Wedding March by Mendelssohn

        Ode To Joy by Beethoven

       Air from "Water Music" by Handel

        Concerto in Bb by Handel

       Processional by Linda Woods
