Best music comes from professional wedding musicians whose passion ranges from the classics to the popular and excellence is evident in the way of performance.
A quartet can surpass basic entertainment into something great performance by top-notch musicians in Manila and the music quality parallels world class where Philippine musicians are known for.
Weddings in the Philippines are still personal in nature with sentiments involved but when it comes to wedding music more go for the beautiful tones of classical music befitting for an awesome ceremony with the rendition of gifted string quartet passionate enough to let serious music stay.
Classical music started in the year 1896 and was notated by serious composers having in their minds pieces that would last for a long time and because of their complexity they are written down for serious performance. The piano or keyboard and the violin comprise the major instruments to create rich tone complimented with a wind instrument and a bass sound required to have a fuller tone.
This form has an emotional content and intellectual interpretation of the piece is presented and make use of musical development where musical idea or motif are repeated in contexts or in altered forms that of a sonata or symphony. It employs rigorous form of musical development that progresses with delicate tempo to maintain an interpretative texture with subtle musical variants.
Serious classical musicians attain their high technical achievement through laborious music studies and consider the importance of tonal and harmonic principles and the mastery of sight reading a music score plus performance practice which is often. That is a classic know-how.
Classical repertoire exhibits artistry through the use of themes, phrasing, harmonization, modulation and the texture of the musical form itself to give justice to the piece for greater appreciation.
It has been said that classical music is for the upper class society and the middle working class doesn't appreciate the art is a fallacy. Classical music is favorably chosen for backgrounds in movies or films and great concerts are staged by popular world class opera singers and musicians and they are sell-outs. General society is long time educated not only in the arena of pop culture but the classics which will stay forever.
It is a recommendation not only for cultural shows but weddings especially here in the Philippines where music is given much consideration. When the bride walks the aisle, a traditional wedding march music is normally a classical score to create a certain drama -- the like of Pachelbel and Mendellsohn music and many others. It gives you a certain feel listening to such music as classical wedding musicians fade it out then silence.
A Romantic Trio opts for melody that speaks of love, romance and endearment as total balm for someone near and listens. It makes you sit and just bask in the melodic vibrations around. Beautiful feeling is framed to those who take music for it commends soul. It communicates in the subtlest.
Entertainment is a way for musicians to put across, performing live with music hankered for and up to the mood of the moment. There are times when something romantic is apt, sometimes a classical music is called for and oftentimes something upbeat. A Music and Events can do them all.
Well, what is better way to share but enjoying the moment - no affectations, no posturings, no flashiness, but feeling the drift of the music. This is one communique way to reveal soul.
Philippine musicians find great time sharing the best they can, performing what is popular for weddings when requested aiming solely to entertain and doing wedding music that is pertinent to an event.
A modest music ensemble is good enough to provide a cut above the rest music around and so doing is an assessment how good Pinoy musicians are - no rehearsals, just a piece of note and good sound system match world class act.
A true talent needs to be shared and when the well-timed moment comes requires involvement. The monetary angle is secondhand but sad to say, most musicians look on the sign more than sharing the gift. Yes, it is needed, but there are times when musicians compromise and generous enough to forego the thought and just share artistry.
What matters is the immeasurable connection and satisfaction derived from a performance. And that makes God smile.
