A beautiful wedding today at Our Lady of Dolours church, Glasnevin, that I’ve been looking forward to for a long time.
The bride is the aunt of a girl I teach piano to, Chloe (who earned a distinction in her Grade I last term and is working away for her Grade II). Months ago, Lyndsay asked me to play for her wedding and already had some cool ideas about what music she’d like. Here’s the full rundown of what I played this afternoon:
Hoppípolla — Sigur Rós (piano)
Tunnels — Arcade Fire (piano)
I, The Lord of Sea and Sky (piano / vocal)
What A Wonderful World (piano)
Ave Maria — Schubert (piano / vocal)
Should I Fall Behind — Bruce Springsteen (guitar / vocal)
Pie Jesu — Andrew Lloyd Webber (piano / vocal)
Love Theme (from ‘Cinema Paradiso’) — Andrea Morricone
Marry Me — Train (guitar / vocal)
Sweet Child O’ Mine — Guns ‘N’ Roses (piano)
Quite the programme! It all went well, and I really enjoyed myself 🙂
Here’s my set up (thanks to Paul McGough for the use of his excellent Bose PA):
