POPULAR OLD SONG INTERPRETED FOR A WEDDING

Reviving an old song is also reviving the artist's spirit clamoring a memory and rendering that special song brings back sanity after a humdrum. Well, old songs or music are the in thing these days performed with a twist and personal interpretation.

Examining an old song explains the beauty in every word put and meant not to be tarnished with fun singing (singing it with no expression or feeling). A performer, whether a wedding singer or jazz singer is free to interpret but there is a candid rule to give justice to a song. It is a mockery if you don't. A music artist understands the rule.

The song above; if my memory serves me right, is a 1938 composition and released on that same year. Everyone knows the song (even just the hum of it) and performed in many styles. It has been a hit for many years then revived and become bigger piece of music. It never compares with mediocrity. It stands as a masterpiece.

WEDDING SINGER MANILA SINGS PHILIPPINE CLASSIC SONG


It is a privilege to sing an immortal Filipino classic song composed by a National Artist whose passion for music flows in his veins. Lucio San Pedro collaborated with Levi Celerio to fashion a music gem immortalizing the beauty of unique melody unmatched in its scope.

Together with a string quartet and versatile pianist whose dedication is beyond reproach justifiably interpreted "Sa Ugoy ng Duyan" with an equally gifted singer feeling what the song tells. It has to be sung like a lullaby because it is all about a child with much cuddle from a dear mother. It has be rendered softly or possiblly in a tender hush for a baby to sleep as the mother watches a child's slumber envisioning his good future.

And individually interpreted, that child when he is up and around recalls the unsurpassed love of a mother and being with her is the most secure feeling. And when he is asleep, he dreams of the stars and the moon and the beautiful hum a loving mother whispers to his ears. A deep sleep comes for another wonderful tomorrow. The grown child remembers.

The message of the song has to be felt meaningfully not to tarnish such gem. A music artist and only the best musicians can understand what it speaks about because that song is a beautiful music of all time. It is a sacred mastery by a world class artist. And it is a sin to deny its spread.

WEDDING SONGS AND MUSIC REVIEW

Bands for weddings that provide live entertainment can either be string quartet or a quartet of different instruments who are passionate musicians enough to comprise a live band for a wedding ceremony and reception with a wedding singer to do some love songs. A list of wedding songs and music must come handy for the couple to choose what suits them and they have their popular song or music choices.

There are no best wedding songs or music because a wedding musician can transform a simple music to heights with a certain technique to bring out the beauty of any musical piece. The bridal march is a bride’s concern and careful choice is made even the processional march where normally the standard processional wedding march is used most often is devised these days. 

Modern wedding march in instrumental form is accepted and there is no rule to break except that best wedding music is hard to place. Even during the bridal march where a wedding singer sings the favorite love song of the couple is effective but not during the ceremony where church or Christian music and songs are implemented strictly. The choice too, has to be thought about with regards propriety.

Classical music is appropriate during a wedding ceremony, especially if your theme is more of the formal type and your guests come from the higher class who, for sure appreciate. A classical traditional wedding march is dramatic in every corner of a performance and the safest to play but sometimes being different does some trick to click. For a catholic wedding during the offertory, a short offertory song that centers the liturgy is a must and a classical communion wedding song sends a certain feel during the ceremony.

Instrumental music goes with flow as the marriage rites go and even a piano music is lifting as you listen to wedding themes. More so during the wedding vows where a soft background instrumental music is played as the couple exchanges their vows, such a romance in the air, as they say. Well, complimenting the beauty of a piano piece is the violin that adds drama to a music sheet as interpreted. The soft tones make everybody relaxed as the wedding ceremony progresses.

Musicians in the Philippines love being involved with weddings. It is an avenue to showcase a single talent or as a group. Violin music by a solo violinist can make beautiful music but being with the group comprising a string quartet can do the best wedding music ever. Philippine musicians don’t do only Filipino music but more on foreign music that keeps building. Foreign songs and music top the music list – some are forgotten and more remain and imitated and performed most by Filipinos. But the beauty of Philippine music is for the Filipinos remain in their hearts.

Popular songs are vast these days and choosing what is best for a wedding is harder to include for a music list but the old romantic songs and music are easy to find, mostly on the net because they stood the test of time. Their melodies are universal. Their messages are apt for people in love. The tune is eternal.

Wedding songs and music stay forever because they send the right signals to heart and the main intention is to fill the void in one’s soul with a message of love. A love song is forever cherished. And we, as wedding musicians in the Philippines have something to share not only wedding music but all kinds of world music.

Hanggang Sa Dulo Ng Walang Hanggan

Hanggang sa dulo ng walang hanggan
hanggang matapos ang kailan pa man
ikaw ang s’yang mamahalin
at lagi ng sasambahin
manalig kang ‘di ka na luluha giliw
At kung sadyang
s’ya na ang ‘yong mahal
asahan mong ako’y di hahadlang
habang ikaw ay maligaya
ako’y maghihintay maging
hanggang sa dulo ng
walang hanggan
Giliw kung sadyang
s’ya na ang ‘yong mahal
asahan mong ako’y ‘di hahadlang
habang ikaw ay maligaya
ako’y maghihintay maging
hanggang sa dulo ng
walang hanggan

English Translation
Until the end of the infinite 
Until the ever 
You love him and always worship 
Believe you can not weep interesting 

And if he intentionally just your love 
I could not expect to prevent 
As long as you are happy I will wait 
Get to the end of the infinite 

Interesting if he intentionally just your love 
I could not expect to prevent 
As long as you are happy I will wait 
Get to the end of the infinite
