    I got married in a cathedral with an organ so we took full advantage of that. Here are the pieces we used:
    -Guests entering: Fanfare by Jacques-Nicholas Lemmens
    -Bridal procession: Jupiter theme by Holst
    -Recession: Gigue French Suite No. 5 on G (on the organ it was incredible)
    I was friends with the organist and he said he would be happy to do an additional piece for the guests directly after the ceremony, so he performed Organ Symphony No. 1 in D minor by Vierne. I had a lot of guests comment of how amazing it was to basically have a private organ concert.

    I have been to a wedding in which the couple (both classical musicians) insisted on having the entire Beethoven symphony no.9 but rearranged the parts and movements so that the ode to joy theme (the stunning part with both orchestra and choir) would be blasting at full volume when they were doing their vows

    For my brother's wedding, I played Schumann's "Träumerei" on my cello - I picked the piece, and my brother and his - now - wife loved it immediately. He also chose "Can't help falling in love with you" as a cello version.
    I was super nervous to play because I am not a professional musician and I am not even a Ling Ling wannabe cause I don't have time to practice. But everybody expressed that they preferred a family member or friend to play at the wedding instead of some professional musician who nobody knows.

    Adding to this list: Borodin’s string quartet No. 2, III. Nocturne. This honestly might be the single most romantic piece of music I’ve heard. It tells the story of Borodin falling in love with his wife (the whole quartet was a gift to his wife), with her being represented by the violin and him the cello. You can hear the two of them “talking” to each other and “dancing” together, getting progressively more intertwined as they fall in love!

    Imo, I think Tchaikovksy's "Melodie" is a very romantic piece, perfect for a celebration of love. Not every wedding has to be super "elegant" or anything. Love is not elegant; love can be messy, sudden, waning, and growing. Lost love, found love, unconditional love... these are all the things I feel when listening to Melodie. It just feels like love.

Entrance of family members and bridesmaids were preludes from well-tempered klavier and cello suites, lighting of candles by the mothers was the aria from Goldberg, my dad and I made a recording of us playing the 2nd mvt of the double together for our walk in, and then the unity candle was one of the more joyful Goldberg variations (cuz the moms had the theme).

    I went to a wedding where the bride walked down the aisle to Gustav Holst's Jupiter, specifically the "I vow to thee my country" part. It was played by a brass quintet and church organist and sounded very grand.

    Edvard Grieg's Morning Mood is a triumphant piece for me. 🎉 It gives a sense of nostalgia about the struggles you had to go through before reaching this stage of life and also hope for many days ahead as a married couple. Suitable to be played at a garden-themed of morning wedding. Where your soul is in contact with nature while your body is showered with sunlight.😘👌

  • @Satopi3104
    @Satopi3104 Před rokem +26

    To be practical about it, having a piece with a clear andante tempo is pretty important for the song the bride walks down the aisle to so that she and whoever is escorting her (if there is someone) can walk down naturally and at a comfortable pace. I once was a bridesmaid at a wedding and the song had such a clear, slow tempo me and my friend walked down super slow (we couldn’t help it, we are dancers) and it was kind of awkward (it was not slow enough to go double time). Canon in d is easy to walk to, which I think is part of the reason it gets chosen so much.
    So if you try walking to these recommendations, the only ones that work are the Bach pieces (except the last one, tempo is not as clear there). Some of them are impossible to walk to or too slow. I

    Coming back to check on the pieces list to listen to, I just want to add that, I was very surprised and inspired by the fact twoset get lessons for their Bach double. It was played really really really beautifully during the 4M and I love that piece to bits.
    Don't get me wrong, I really like the Mendy and La Campanella in 2 weeks was impressive, but that Bach double get my soul. I love Bach music, there is always more you can explore with Bach, and that Bach double, while may be low ranking in twoset own violin duet tier list, probably technique requirement wise, has such high potential that when done flawlessly well, is just, beauty. And to me, in my humble oppinion, the 4M Bach double did not lose to any other recording on yt or spotify by renowned violinists. Your hard work pay off! What was more awespiring is that, I think you two probably could nail it normally with your current level and practice yet you go to teacher to improve it further, it tells much about music journey is never ending, a piece can futher be polished!
    I keep go back to listen to it because how beautiful it was. Really. Thank you twoset for the wonderful performance and music!

    We had classical guitar at our wedding I let the guitarist choose the music and he did not disappoint. Nothing was main stream classical but it was very romantic. The guys mentioned the 2nd movement of the Bach double and when they did it in November, it was so gorgeous. Eddy started with the statement on his rich Strad and when Brett came in on his sweet Strad it was so moving. Thanks, guys! All your work paid off.

Imo, the most beautiful love theme ever written.

Went to a resort & had a wedding/honeymoon! I would have enjoyed one of these pieces, but we just wanted to be married. So, I guess I'm saying that piece was an "I don't care, play whatever" piece🤣 (the Canon piece, I mean) We did have a great time!🎉🎉🎉
    Edit: I guess I should explain it was a place that arranges weddings on site. It was no frills in the sense that they put everything together, but on the other hand it was a fancy honeymoon👍👍👍 Almost 11 years now!

    I want to say thank you to you both for what you do, your videos are hilarious and I find I always come back to rewatch them ( especially your musical game show videos!) I've always found violin a beautiful instrument, but you two have inspired me beyond that to learn violin in addition to piano (which I already play). My parents (I'm a minor) initially refused because they didn't want to put up with the squeakiness of a violin learner, but after a year of persistent hints that its a genuine interest of mine, they've bought me a violin as a reward for something recently!! My first violin lesson is going to be next week - my teacher is just upgrading the strings currently - and I'm so happy that I discovered your channel and the violin 😊 may Ling Ling be with you!

    I just had a thought that the second movement from Rachmaninov's Piano Concerto No. 2 would work really well!

As long as no one makes the connection to "All By Myself," that is.
