Picking music for your wedding ceremony is such a personal choice. The best way to start is to pick musicians that understand your vision for the type of ceremony you want. Asgards play Irish Traditional music, which is what we have been doing since long before we ever thought of playing professionally. Our repertoire hopefully reflects our own love of Traditional Irish music. We can learn pieces for our couples but we always consider our genre and our instruments. We are always happy to discuss what you have in mind and see what works best. We all read music so learning new pieces is never a problem! Don’t hesitate to get in touch with us to discuss.
We play Irish Airs and pieces by O’Carolan. Some of these pieces which we find work really well are:
Si Beag Si Mór
Planxty Irwin
Lord Inchiquin
She moved through the fair
Hewlett
An Gaoth Aneas
Planxty Fanny Power
Down by the Salley Gardens
Some contemporary songs we play:
How long will I love you (Waterboys)
Gift of a Thistle (Braveheart)
Can’t Help Falling in Love with you (Elvis, The ting tings etc.)
Classical/ other
Pacabel Canon in D
Concerning Hobbits (from the Hobbit)
Religious
Ag Criost an tSiol
Mo Gra thu a thiarna
A Mhuire Mathair
