The post Music for your ceremony appeared first on Asgards.

]]> Picking music for your ceremony is such a personal choice. The best start is to pick musicians that have the same vision for the type of ceremony you want. Asgards play Irish Traditional music, which is what we have been playing long before we ever thought of playing professionally. Our repertoire, hopefully reflects our own love of the music. We do learn pieces for our couples, but always considering our genre and our instruments. We are always happy to discuss what you have in mind and see what works best. We all sight read music so learning new pieces is never a problem!

We play Irish Airs and pieces by O’Carolan. Some of these pieces which we find work really well are:

Si beag Si mor

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
