CARINYA STRINGS have been busy behind the scenes and creating an ISO-PERFORMANCE!
It sure was a lot of fun and took a bit of experimenting and learning to use new technologies.
We each had an earpiece, with which we could listen to a click-track (giving us a steady beat) and seperately, we recorded our own part.
Then, using a program called Final Cut Pro, we were able to align the tracks and videos so you can see and hear our finished product.
The piece is Rondo - Purcell. It is extremely well-known.
Enjoy!

Choosing Music for Your Wedding Day
Pachelbel's Canon is certainly still the most popular choice for walking down the aisle, with A Thousand Years being runner-up; ever since the Twilight Movies came to the big screen.
Vivaldi's Four Seasons feature widely in the wedding ceremonies, especially Spring
Bach's Air and Brandenburg Concertos are timeless classics
Taylor Swift music was in high demand for 2025; Love Story, Invisible String, Enchanted
Bridgerton sets are currently popular too; Thank you Next, Wrecking Ball, Wildest Dreams

Carinya Strings are noting a trend in favourites this year, especially for signing of the register. As couples are booking in their upcoming weddings, this is the music they are selecting:
Top Choice: Spring - Vivaldi. This is a bright, joyful and famous piece. Certainly a good one.
Second most popular: The Prayer - Foster. This beautiful song was made famous by Andrea Bocelli and Josh Groban. A very romantic choice.
Third most popular: Over the Rainbow - Arlen. This piece is so well-known and evokes beautiful memories from the Wizard of Oz film.
What will you select for signing of the register?
Consider whether you would like to go for the recent most popular choices, or would you like to choose something different?

HAVE YOU EVER WATCHED A MOVIE WITHOUT ANY SOUND?
As a couple are planning their wedding ceremony, there are so many aspects to consider; from the venue to the flowers to the dresses, the suits, the photographers …. and the list goes on and on.
It is interesting that many couples actually leave the music until last when they are booking in their services for their special day.
DID YOU KNOW THAT THE MUSIC WILL CREATE THE MOOD ON THE DAY?
Yes, that’s right! The music becomes the backdrop for bringing expression to your special day.
You can create a Formal/Regal style: - Choose: Trumpet Tune- Purcell, Trumpet Voluntary - Clarke, Hornpipe - Handel, Bouree – Handel, Arrival of the Queen of Sheba - Handel
You can create a Romantic style: - Choose: A Thousand Years – Perri, Pachelbel’s Canon, Air – Bach, Meditation – Massenet, Chanson D’Amour - Elgar
You can create a Reflective style: - Choose: Adagio from Christmas Concerto – Corelli, Romanza from Eine Kleine Nachtmusik – Mozart, Hallelujah – Cohen, Ascendit Deus – Gallus, The Prayer - Foster
You can create an Uplifting/Feelgood style: - Choose: Thinking out Loud – Ed Sheeran, Don’t Stop Believing – Perry, New York New York- Sinatra, Everything I do - Adams
You can create an Energetic style: - Choose: Palladio – Jenkins, Tango - McLean, Soul Bossa Nova – Jones, Arrival of the Queen of Sheba - Handel
The music that is played at your wedding will become the soundtrack on your video, which you will keep to treasure forever.
