A Romantic Atmosphere
| Q | My fiancé and I are having an elegant celebration and we're thinking of hiring a harpist. Do you have any advice on how we can have a classic theme while still keeping the music modern? |
| A | Joy Cornock says: If elegance is what you're after, then the harp is perfect. The rich sonorities and stunning woodwork make a dreamy addition to any wedding. The harp is a versatile instrument and can perform almost any song and style. This classic wedding instrument brings elegance and grace, but it can also perform wonderful renditions of popular and modern tunes. My advice would be to choose the music and repertoire that makes your heart sing and I'm almost certain that the harp will be able to accommodate. With my clients, I send a recommended repertoire list for them to choose from, but I also accept requests as it's important that the music is tailored around their tastes. Vary the styles of music throughout the ceremony; many couples choose a classical piece to walk down the aisle, e.g., Canon in D, and walk out to a modern song, e.g., Marry You by Bruno Mars. I can sing to my own accompaniment on the harp which means you can include romantic and touching lyrics in the performance too. One thing is for sure: you will never regret the spine-chilling effect the harp has on the atmosphere in the room during a wedding ceremony. |
