Special Requests
The Cotswold Ensemble's string quartet repertoire is vast, from before Bach to well beyond the Beatles. It includes classical favourites, classic pops, recent pops, rag-time, show tunes, folk dances, tangos, and classical dances. If your favourite song or piece is not on our list, and not available commercially, we can arrange it for your event for a modest fee. Arranging hymns for our quartets to play at church weddings is free of charge.
We can accompany a singer at your ceremony or special event, whether your friend or a professional colleague of ours, and we can adapt our accompaniments to suit. This would need rehearsal time to be included in your contract with us.
We have made many special musical arrangements for wedding ceremonies, "big" birthday celebrations, wedding anniversary parties and naming ceremonies. Here are a few:
- The Girl in Satin
- It Had to be You
- All you Need is Love*
- Going to the Chapel
- Glasgow Love Theme
- Imperial March (Star Wars)
- When you say you love me
- The Very Thought of You
- How Deep is your Love
- The Secret Wedding
- The White Cliffs of Dover
- A Thousand Years
- What a Feeling
- The Swan
- At Last
* Amore solum opus est...
"As for the "special arrangements" bit - I am so grateful for your help in making that work - and work so well."
