We are planning a formal
dinner after our wedding instead of a dance or party type of
thing, and are wondering what type of music to play. We have a
musician who can put together a group for us as long as we can
give him suggestions as to what type of music to play. We want
either classical or very low-key soft jazz instrumental. The
problem is, we don't know anything about those types of music. Do
you have any suggestions as far as artists or classical works out
there we can have the musician listen to?? The best I can come up
with so far is to go to the music store and start listening to
everything until we find what we want. Is this the best way?
Musicians have their own
styles and types of music with which they are most comfortable.
If you tell your musician what styles you like, he or she should
be able to sit down with you and either play samples of the chosen
style or play CD's of that style, so that you get a feel for what
each style is like. You will have better results by working
directly with the musician and letting them choose the specific
pieces of music to play than you will if you try to figure out
what you might want, then telling them each song. You might want
to consider combining the classical and soft jazz sounds,
particularly if there will be any dancing. You could have the
classical played during dinner, then the jazz after dinner for
dancing.
