Classical


- music that will forever last through the centuries -

Nothing says sophistication like the delicate melodies and harmonies of classical music. Listed below is a selection of pieces from the baroque, classical, romantic, and contemporary periods. You can customize a playlist for your special occasion, be it a wedding reception or a business party. I have quite the variety. You can be sure to find what you are looking for. There are lots of choices!

Classical music is
so different compared to the music written in today's era. In these pieces, there are no words. Every piece is instrumental, creating an ambiance your audience will love and savor.

I have a few suggestions of my own, some must-have's if you will. These could be played on any special occasion. "Clair de Lune" is a classic, romantic piece that has been one of my favorite compositions for many years now. "Rustles of Spring" is a more recent favorite that I think is marvelous. I also really love "Prelude and Fugue in C" and "Adagio", both of which are hauntingly beautiful in my opinion.
