Elliot performs this new age piece composed by David Lanz.

Dancing on the (Berlin) Wall

Eddie, grade 11, performed this piece for our 2010 spring recital.  It was composed by Frederic Chopin.

Nocturne in E minor, Opus 72 no. 1

Perry (grade 9) performs this piano solo for our 2013 studio recital.  It is composed by John Burson.  Perry began lessons at Heywood Studios in 2005.

Watch My Fingers Rock!

This lovely piece, composed by Claude Debussy is being performed by Emily, who studied at Heywood Studios for several years.

Suite Bergamesque mvt. III claire de lune

This Sinfonia  was composed by George Frederick Handel as part of the sacred oratorio, "Solomon" HWV 67 in 1748.   This piece would be appropriate for the bride's entrance or recessional.

Arrival Of The Queen Of Sheba (from "Solomon")

This piece was featured in the movie by the same title from 1980.  It was composed by John Berry.  Would be very suitable as a prelude or even for the unity sand/candle.

Somewhere In Time

This piece was featured in the broadway musical, "West Side Story", composed by Leonard Bernstein and Stephen Sondheim.  The lyrics speak of joining hands together and making the vows one last time.

One Hand, One Heart

This is a very lovely, peaceful piece composed by Leo Delibes.  This piece may be used as a prelude, for the bridal party entrance or even for the unity sand/candle ceremony.

Flower Duet (from the opera "Lakme")

This piece was composed and originally performed by Yiruma.   It is very graceful, eloquent and would be perfect for a processional.   It begins and ends by conjuring emotions from the inner-most depths of my heart. At times sweet and slow but becoming stronger as the song progresses, it represents the epitome of love and what loving someone actually means.

A River Flows In You

Found this contemporary, upbeat piano solo from a new composer David Nevue.  If you like the music of George Winston, Jim Brickman and other similar piano music with a peaceful contemporary style, you will love this piece.    Ideal for a recessional or a prelude--I love the 'happy' sound of this composition.

Happily Ever After

This piece was featured in the film, "Pride and Prejudice" and was composed by Dario Marianelli.  Its style is reminiscent of the works of Chopin.  Very delicate, graceful and moving.  Would be ideal for prelude or processional.

Dawn

Slow Dancin' 50s Style

Rockin' At the Hall from "Ohio Skylines" Recital suite by Robert D. Vandall.  Performed by Alana, grade 7 (May 2013)

Rockin' At The Hall

A beautiful song, composed by Stephen Curtis Chapman--it's perfect for a wedding prelude, unity candle/sand ceremony.  It can easily be lengthened or shortened, depending on the amount of time necessary.

Love Will Be Our Home

This song is lovely to use for prelude, unity candle/sand, or even during the reception (father/daughter dance, etc.).  Very pretty ballad.  This song was a hit for Bette Midler (and was featured in the movie "Beaches").

The Wind Beneath My Wings

If I had to say what the number one, most requested wedding song was, it would have to be (hands down!) the Canon in D, composed by Johann Pachelbel!  While this piece was originally composed for 3 violins and basso continuo, it sounds beautiful as a piano solo.  This piece is most typically used as a processional, although it can also be incorporated as a prelude.  What is so nice about Pachebel's Canon is that it can accommodate either a small or large bridal party quite easily!  

Canon In D

Composers:  David Foster & Carole Bayer Sager.  This award winning song was recorded by Celine Dion & Josh Groban in 1999.   I have performed this piece as a prelude, during the presentation of gifts and unity candle ceremony.  
A part of the touching lyrics include:   

pray you'll be our eyes, and watch us where we go,
 And help us to be wise, in times when we don't know
 Let this be our prayer, when we lose our way
 Lead us to a place, guide us with your grace
 To a place where we'll be safe...

Can be performed as a piano solo, or piano with vocalist and/or instrumentalist
