Flute Largo

The flute is a beauteous instrument and well-suited for weddings because it’s so bright and cheery. Perhaps you even already have somebody in mind to play flute for your wedding.

If you recognise that you’ll have a flute playing at your wedding, you’ll want to tailor your music search around music suitable for that instrument

Because the flute is so perfective for weddings, there is a outstanding wealth of wedding music for flute for you to choose from.

In this article, I have a good deal of tips and musical suggestions in case you’re thinking with regards to including this instrument in your wedding ceremony.

Works for big and little churches

For a littler wedding or all but the greatest of churches, the flute may add a peculiarly finelooking touch to the ceremony’s music. And in spite of being a quieter instrument, a flute’s sound may carry breathtakingly well. Unless your wedding will be in a very huge church, amplification probably won’t be necessitated (though you may still choose to do so).

Versatile

A flute may be employed just in regards to anyplace in a wedding ceremony. About the only place where we would not commend a flute is the Recessional (which is oftentimes a loudly played piece) or Postlude (in addition to ordinarily being played loudly, guests oftentimes begin talking, both components would make the flute difficult to hear).

You could even use a flute for the duration of the Processional if it is a quieter piece (not all processionals need to be loud-they just need to be joyful).

Feel free to even use a flute all by itself if you find the right music. But most of the time, you’ll be pairing it with an accompanying instrument such as organ or piano. Both instruments work well with the flute (both need to be played at a volume that balances the flute, but your musicians will recognise this).

A flute may likewise be employed as the accompanying instrument or play as a duet with a voice or another instrument (such as a violin, harp or cello).

Getting started

There are many, a lot of pieces where you could efficaciously use a flute. Here are just a few suggestions:

• Albinoni: Adagio
• Beethoven: Ode to Joy (from Ninth Symphony)
• Marcello: Adagio (from Concerto in D Minor for Oboe & Strings)
• Faure: Sicilienne
• Handel: Largo (from Xerxes)
• Handel: Arioso “Thanks Be To Thee”
• Bach: Air (from Orchestral Suite #3)
• Bach: Sheep May Safely Graze (from Cantata 156)
• Mozart: Laudate Dominum (from Solemn Vespers)

All of these pieces may be found in the iTunes Music Store, other online roots and are ordinarily available on CD. Finding them performed by a flute might take a little more work. But don’t worry when it comes to it-just find and listen to it performed on any instrument to see if you like the piece.

Then work with your musician(s) to see that they may play it for you.

Don’t forget with regards to skill level

This brings up an important point: skill level. If you’re hiring a professional flutist, this won’t be a problem. But if you’re using a friend or relative, in particular somebody young, pay attention: Skill levels vary and the range of a flute varies with skill level (as does the difficultness of the music they may handle). Less experienced musicians may not be competent to play the music you want because they can’t play high (or low) enough.

You ought to make sure your flutist may play the music you’ve selected! If you’re using anything other than a professional flutist, have a few backup selections of music. And then ask gently whether they may handle the music, being sure to make it easy for them to confess they can’t. But don’t be affrighted to ask; you may be afraid to embarrass them by asking, but it will be much worse embarrassment at the ceremony.
