Meet the Big Harps!
"Guinevere" and "Priscilla" create timeless music for all occasions.....
Because harps have been around for thousands of years, they resonate a very special emotional response in listeners. The beautiful music of a harp adds to every occasion. Below are samples of VJ's song list....

WEDDING MUSIC
Begin with soft love songs while guests are being seated...."My Cup Runneth Over With Love", "The Rose", "All Through the Night", "Imagine", "Allana's Song", "Drink to Me Only With Thine Eyes", "Moon River", "My Funny Valentine", the "Ice Castles Theme", "We've Only Just Begun", "And We Were Lovers", "Speak Softly Love", "La Vie en Rose", "Embraceable You", "Love Me Tender", "When I Fall in Love", or "Stranger in Paradise".
Then, just before the wedding party appears, a wonderful medley of Andrew Lloyd Webber music: "Memory", "Music of the Night", "Argentina", "Any Dream Will Do", and "All I Ask of You".
Modern brides are often choosing less traditional music for their unforgettable walk down the aisle. "The Wedding Song", Tchaikovsky's "Swan Lake", "A Time for Us" from Romeo and Juliet", or Patchelbel's "Canon in D" are some very popular harp selections . If a time of Meditation is included in the ceremony, we set the mood with "Endless Love", "The Twelfth of Never", "The Prayer", "Where or When", or "Evergreen".
At the end of the ceremony, we suggest bright joyous Recessional music such as "Ode to Joy", "Lavender's Blue", and "Plaisir d'Amour (The Joys of Love)".

Meet "Guinevere" and "Priscilla""Any instrument will tell you its name if you listen," smiles VJ. "I didn't name these harps--they just announced their names when they arrived." Both are levered "Celtic" harps. Priscilla is the larger harp, with an extra octave of strings that results in her weighing twice as much as Guinevere. |
MUSIC FOR FUNERALS and CELEBRATIONS OF LIFE
To accompany meditation and memories, Guinevere provides such lovely songs as "Amazing Grace", "Black is the Color of My True Love's Hair", "Danny Boy", "Les Arbres Morts", "Try to Remember", "Pathetique" (Beethoven's Sonata #8), "The Lass From the Low Countrie", "He Was Beautiful"(theme from The Deer Hunter), "Toh Parathiri", "Daily Growing", "The Mountains of Mourne", "As Time Goes By", "Aloha Oe", "Autumn Leaves", "Dust in the Wind", and "The Wind Beneath My Wings".
