Meanwhile, I’m finally making progress on completing editing video clips from Passeri’s March TV recording – you can click here for the most recent YouTube video – Waltz from “Waves of the Danube” by Ivanovici. I’ll add more links as I get more edited and put up!

I’m expecting some pictures from summer and fall weddings and hope to have a flood of new blog entries – mostly probably in January.

Looking forward to getting back into blogging more now that I have internet here in town! More soon!

I love this ring of flowers around the tree behind us.

And the next day, Sunday September 4, here’s a single picture from another wedding at Ohana Camp in Fairlee. I didn’t have as much time for pictures, but as you can see it was a beautiful spot and a gorgeous day, and a lovely and heartwarming wedding. Played this wedding with Mike Close (cello) and Eliza Thomas (piano).

Stay tuned for some professional pictures of some of last summer’s weddings coming soon!

Many thanks to Renee at Great Impressions Portrait Studio for the use of these gorgeous pictures!

I LOVE the looks from the bridesmaids above! Loving friends are the greatest!

Haley and Lee chose “Turdidae” flute/violin duo for their ceremony music. They chose the traditional classics for their ceremony: Jesu, Joy of Man”s Desiring for the wedding party’s processional, Pachelbel’s Canon in D for Haley’s processional, and Mendelssohn’s Wedding March for their recessional (above).

And the final couple back up the aisle!

I loved Haley and Lee’s candle theme. You can see in the processional and recessional pictures above that the aisle is marked with small candles. Here’s a close – up of the candles, arranged with flowers. (For my own wedding – 22 years ago – we had lilacs  – I’m quite partial to purple flowers of all varieties – I love these!)

The lighting on a cloudy day is amazing for pictures – I can’t imagine anything feeling sunnier than the way Haley looks here!

OK – party time!

I’m looking forward to exhibiting at the Rainbow Weddings LGBT Expo this coming Sunday, August 14th! Mariah and I will be there, playing three sets alternating between flute/harp and flute/violin, and available for chatting at our table in between. 

We’re putting together quite a mix of repertoire – some personal favorites as well as a wide mix of styles for every taste! We’ve got some flute/violin classical selections, a few of our favorite flute/harp Celtic tunes, a little Beatles, some other pop, a taste of a Broadway classic or two, an Israeli folk tune, a hymn,  and whatever else time allows!

It’s at the Sheraton Hotel and Conference Center, 870 Williston Road in Burlington, Vermont from 12:30 to 3:30. Perhaps we’ll see some of you there!

It’s been a busy wedding season so far! I’m hoping to put up blog entries from recent weddings when I receive pictures from photographers from the June weddings, but in the meantime, here’s a picture I took before Erin and Michael’s wedding last Friday of the lovely Trinity Episcopal Church in Shelburne.

I’ll be catching up on some 2010 weddings as well – sharing wedding details, music choices, and hopefully some pictures as well if possible! In the meantime, you can click here to check out pictures, thoughts, wedding music choices, and more, from some other weddings from recent years.

I’ve been writing quarterly articles for Vermont Bride Magazine for a full year now! You can click here for the article from the Spring 2011 magazine: Putting a Personal Touch to Your Wedding Music: Selecting Unique Music for Your Wedding.

All previous articles are also available at the Vermont Bride Magazine web site. The summer magazine, with an article focusing on the Pachelbel Canon in D, is now available in print throughout Vermont, or you can download the full summer 2011 magazine now through this link. The article itself should also be available at a separate link before long. The summer magazine also features the Love Story of Leah Hartenstein and Gregory Morse at Basin Harbor Club. I’ve been awaiting pictures from this wedding for my own blog entry (some friends and I played trio music for this wedding) – be on the lookout for this and other 2010 weddings, and hopefully some recent 2011wedding blog entries soon!

I’m hoping that this combination makes for easier browsing, both in comparing sounds from one group to another, and in accessing pages more quickly – without the wait for downloading. You’ll also find an increased number of sound samples for some groups, and if you keep checking back you’ll find more!

On the YouTube front, do check out the lisaflutevermont channel! I’ve recently added Passeri’s recordings of all three movements of Haydn’s London Trio in C Major. You’ll also find flute/harp and flute/violin videos, and if you keep checking back you’ll find more over the course of the next few weeks.

Please let me know if you find this helpful or if you have any challenges that I’d be able to address to make the process more enjoyable!

You’ll find brief excerpts from Haydn’s London Trio No. 1 in C Major, Handel’s Water Music Suites, a little Corelli, a Celtic tune, and Ivanovici’s Blue Danube Waltz. I’ll be putting up YouTube Videos soon – probably by the end of the second week in June – I’ll keep you posted! In the meantime, you can watch the whole program on ORCA Media station 15 in Central Vermont next week! Thursday June 2, 7:00 P.M.; Friday June 3, noon and 1:00 P.M.; or Saturday June 4, 11:00 A.M.

All of my samples on the music samples page are much quicker now, and much easier to navigate from one sound sample to another, so you can check out several ensemble possibilities in one easy session. I’m hoping to update the sound clips from my flute/violin collection as well as my flute/harp collection. So please check back in a couple of weeks for those updates!

Meanwhile, click this or the above links to access the revised page.

Thursday June 2, 2011 at 7:00pm, Friday June 3 at 12:00 and 1:00pm, Saturday June 4 at 11:00am.

We recorded on March 7 for ORCA Media’s “Studio Sessions” program, a full hour music program recorded at ORCA’s Montpelier studio.

The program features Haydn’s ‘London’ “Trio Number 1 in C Major”, Michael Isaacson’s “Jewish Wedding Suite”, Jay Unger and Molly Mason’s “Lover’s Waltz,” Ivanovici’s “Danube Waltz,” as well as some Corelli, Handel, and a bit of Celtic.

Be on the lookout for YouTube videos shortly after that. Hope you enjoy!
