As we head into fall, we have noticed that many couples are choosing music that fits a theme, so we wanted to share some music categories with composers and example pieces.
If you enjoy classical music, are a performer, or have studied art music you might be interested in choosing music from the following list:
Bach, J.S. -- From the Orchestra Suites to the Brandenburg Concerti to Sacred Music
Debussy and Faure -- Impressionist pieces
Handel, G.F. -- From Oratorios to Stage Music to Suites
Mozart, W.A. -- From Eine Kleine Nachtmusik to Church Music to Opera and Divertimenti
Puccini, Massenet, and Bizet -- Opera
Tschaikovsky -- Ballet and Music that inspired Disney animation
Telemann and Vivaldi -- Sonatas, Four Seasons and Baroque Suites
and so much more!!
