20 April 2012 | Marshall — Marticorena Wedding | Ashton Gardens

April 23, 2012 by david

‘jesu’ for the bride

Four Strings provided a string quartet for the wedding of Angela Marshall and Javier Marticorena, held on Friday 20 April 2012, at Ashton Gardens in Corinth TX. As usual, the fine acoustics from the loft at Ashton made it a joy to perform.

Music for the ceremony was a variation on the traditional, but with a twist — rather than the well-known Wagner and Mendelssohn processional/recessional, we were asked to play Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring for the bride, in the Adagio tempo commonly heard on old, pre-baroque revival recordings. For the recessional, the Hallelujah Chorus (cheeky, that).

Prelude
Bist du bei mir (Stölzel)
The Grand Dance (Purcell)
Music from the Royal Fireworks (mvmts. 2-5) (Handel)
The Prayer (Sager/Foster)
Wachet auf, ruft uns die Stimme (Bach)
Ave Verum (Saint-Saëns)
Air from Suite 1 in F (Handel)

Ceremony
