Lisa Carlson:Solo Flute
The sound of the flute has been
admired since before recorded history,
and its popularity has never waned. It
carries well, whether outdoors or in a
large cathedral, yet is intimate enough
for a small room or a tiny mountain
chapel. Solo flute can be an ideal choice
for any location.

A Few Suggestions for Wedding Music Suitable for Solo Flute

Most musical choices can work for any portion of a wedding, depending on the style of wedding you choose and your music preferences. These are just a few commonly selected choices to get started.

The Sarabande from Bach's Partita for Solo
Flute is exceptionally beautiful for a
meditative moment. Any popular song usually
sounds great on solo flute, as do hymns, folk
songs, and transcriptions of popular classical
selections. I'd be happy to speak with you
more about your personal interests and
choices. We can either talk further, or you
could just pick what you like, or you can just
give me an idea of your style and I can come
up with other suggestions or choose for you.
I'm happy to assist in any way I can!
I'm hoping to add
audio samples to
this page soon.
