Boston performer Monica Hatch stresses the importance of the lyrics in the songs you choose for your wedding. How many songs have you listened to and favored because the lyrics expressed exactly how you feel?
Because lyrics are so important to most of us, vocal music has been the most popular type of music since the days of Gregorian Chant and before. Everywhere you turn, whether it's your cube mate's radio, the mall, church, TV commercials or an elevator, music is present, especially vocal music.
When deciding on the music for your wedding, it's important to consider the mood, sentiment and message you want to convey to your guests about you and your future spouse. This is done most effectively through the use of songs with lyrics. A vocalist can be just the right conduit for your personal message. While it may be pleasant to have the organist or other instrumentalists play the melodies of your favorite songs, the lyrical element, which a professionally trained vocalist can provide, will add impact and meaning.
If a family member or friend sings well, it is especially warming to utilize their talents because of their emotional attachment to you. However, when this is not an option, a professionally trained singer has not only studied vocal technique, diction and repertoire, she/he has learned to render almost any song in a genuine and sensitive style.
