Wedding Song
I BETROTH YOU (based on "Air Americana")
by MICHAEL REID WINIKOFF
Style: American Folk
Mood: Nostalgia, Devotion, Legacy
Use: Prelude, Interlude
The text of this beautiful wedding vocal
solo is
based on verses from the Song of Songs and Hosea. The
folk-like tune is borrowed from "Air Americana," another work in this wedding catalog. As with many vocal solo wedding works,
"I Betroth You" will be
highly effective as a “meaningful moment” during the ceremony, an interlude
piece, such as for communion or Unity Candle ceremony. See
text below.
Use I Betroth You in coordinated fashion with the piece on which it is
melodically based,
Air Americana, to create a musical motif for your wedding
event.

I betroth you unto me evermore I betroth you unto me in righeousness In compassion and justice and mercy and grace In faithfulness unto me I betroth you. (From Hosea) As a seal upon my heart this day I you set As a seal upon my arm in love passing death In devotion's fullest flame and keenest fire And this faithful seal evermore our hearts inspire. (After Song of Songs) I betroth you unto me evermore I betroth you unto me in righeousness In compassion and justice and mercy and grace In faithfulness unto me I betroth you. |
