Wedding Music of Michael Reid Winikoff
Listed by Instrument(s)
Here are some of the most common and
easy-to-find instruments and instrumental combinations for wedding ceremonial use,
and which you will find in my catalog of wedding music.
For example, the string quartet and brass quintet are two of the most
widely encountered and available types of ensemble to hire for your
ceremony.
Another option is a single soloist such as a harpist, organist or
pianist. Or a trumpet or
violin soloist who plays with the organist or pianist found in most
congregations. In some
cases, the solo instrument may also be part of a larger group, such as
violin, viola or cello solo from a string quartet or trio, or a
trumpeter from a brass quintet. There are many possible
combinations to taylor to the exact effect you are looking for in your
wedding ceremony.
