SONGS PERFORMED BY TANIA SUSI MUSIC
PRELUDE MUSIC SUGGETIONS
Young and Beautiful - Lana Del Rey
Lana’ s song Young and Beautiful is both restless and haunting. Her enchanting voice and deep vocals capture the feel of love and desire. A Lake Placid native, Lana Del Rey has a lot of fans in this area. This song takes its place in the midst of gorgeous love ballades.
At Last
Made famous by Etta James and more recently by Cristina Aguilera, this song will sweep you off your feet with the rich and voluptuous strings in the backdrop. The violin solo is delivered with a full serving of emotion and gusto.
BRIDAL PARTY MUSIC SUGGETIONS
Yellow - Coldplay
“Look at the Stars.. Look how they shine for you” the opening lyrics are conveyed in the melody. Coldplay fans choose this tune over and over because the words are so beautiful and the melodies are memorable. Pair it with another Coldplay song “ Reign of Love” and recessionals “Viva La Vida” or “A Sky Full off Stars” for the complete Coldplay Ceremony!
BRIDAL PROCESSIONAL MUSIC SUGGETIONS
In My Life - The Beatles
The Beatles wrote so many classics, but this one has been requested time and time again. You can pair this with another Beatles classic “ Ob-la-di- Ob -la-da”
Can't Help Falling in Love
Sung by “The King” , Elvis and other great singers, this classic love song is sure to feel like a dream when you walk down the aisle. Definitely a “wow” song, because it makes time stand still.
Canon in D - Pachelbel
This is a wedding processional classic, and is most often reserved for the Bride, but, can certainly be used for the Bridal Party. It pairs beautifully with virtually any song. Having a wedding without this song ( at least for Prelude) feels like we forgot something! If you use this for a Processional, it also pairs beautifully with the “Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring”. These two songs together create a “classical music” feel.
RECESSIONAL MUSIC SUGGETIONS
Viva La Vida - Coldplay
This song is a celebration of life and happiness and has a great beat! Your guests will feel the shift from ceremony to cocktail hour immediately when they hear this song!
Lucky - Colbie Caillat
This love song feels so happy and sweet. The original version features Colbie Caillat and Jason Mraz in a duet. This song won a Grammy Award. I love performing this song because it is so well suited to the violin and it sets a playful mood!
COCKTAIL HOUR MUSIC SUGGETIONS
Just The Way You Are - Bruno Mars
Rhythmic and upbeat! The lyrics in this song get right to the point, that you are beautiful, just the way you are, but you don't need the lyrics to feel the joy and celebration that the song conveys !
Game of Thrones
This melody from the HBO hit series will delight all of your guests! There are Game of Thrones fans at every party!
Sweet Child O' Mine - Guns N' Roses
Easily one of my favorite songs in my set list, this rock and roll classic from Guns N' Roses's debut album, Appetite for Destruction, was released in 1988. Yes! I do play the long solo at the end of the song, made famous by the band's lead guitarist, Slash.
Crystallize- Lindsey Stirling
Whether or not you’ve heard of Lindsey Stirling, this song will captivate and excite your guests. It’s pure electric rock violin. I play a number of her tunes to add an element of instrumental rock virtuosity to my set lists.
Shadows- Lindsey Stirling
Another example of Lindsey Stirling’s genius electric violin rock writing. I LOVE to perform her compositions. Your guests will be intrigues and clap along to the high energy performance of this piece.
Senorita - Camila Cabello & Shawn Mendes
This is for all of the ladies in the room! This song is a playful duet between the female and male vocalist. Flirtatious and fun!
Wildest Dreams - Taylor Swift
This song has a “sweep you off your feet” kind of romance to it. It will make you feel like you are in a romantic movie setting. Ideal for cocktail hour.
Take on Me - “A-Ha”
If you want a song that will make your guests smile, A-ha's " Take on Me" is great for cocktail hour. The Norwegian synth-pop band from the 80's created a classic!
Ob-la-di-Ob-la-da - Beatles
When the champagne is flowing and your guests are mingling with each other, this song adds a joyful, carefree mood to the whole atmosphere.
I Choose You - Sara Bareilles
A beautiful song about falling in love. I love playing this song because there is so much opportunity for me to play around with the melody while I perform it on the violin. This is the kind of song makes you feel happy about everything.
All of Me - John Legend
"All of Me" conveys one's desire and commitment for each other. You can use this song as a Bridal Party or Bridal Processional.
