Ode to Joy

Ryan is a big fan of classical music and I am as well (use to play violin). Growing up, my mother would often play, "The Four Seasons" as we would clean the house. She also would dabble at piano and play "Fur Elise." Last year, Ryan and I had the opportunity to see Antonio Vivaldi and Frederic Chopin concertos at the Scottsdale Center for the Arts. This was quite a treat and brought back many memories.

Classical music has taken a "back seat" in the modern world of "big music for big money." Can you imagine what Beethoven's music video would have looked like, if they had cameras and fly girls back then!? It's not common for an artist to dedicate months and months of time composing music in an arid basement, solely for the love of the music.Classical composers and performers are highly capable of expressing the joy classical music has to offer. The complexity of classical music is mysterious and spectacular, like the mysteries we see in nature. Here are some of our favorite pieces that possibly could make an appearance at our wedding.
