Sotto Voce: the music option that will become a talisman for your wedding
“Why is it that we rejoice at a wedding and grieve at a funeral? It is because we are not the person involved.” This hilarious quote attributed to Mark Twain brings a bit of lightheartedness to the demanding responsibility that social events require. Luckily, weddings are always a reason for happiness. We just need a few basic rules to make sure that on the most important day of our lives, our only concern is to have fun. In the Basque Country, the key to success goes hand in hand with Sotto Voce, the chamber group that has taken center stage at the most distinguished ceremonies.
Directed by the violinist Pedro Miguel Aguinaga, the professional virtuosos of this musical ensemble propose a series of songs to couples for each phase of the wedding. Some say that this group is a true talisman for weddings, as their extensive experience providing entertainment at this type of ceremony has given them the unique ability of breathing a long life into love. No musical piece is too big for this string quartet.
The group uses the best scores and the most heterodox authors: Metallica, John Lennon, Händel, Benito Lertxundi, Ken Zazpi, and James Horner. They also have more orthodox classics, with pieces like Alleluia by Mozart, Gloria by Vivaldi, and the Air from Bach’s Orchestral Suite No. 3 in D Major. Regardless of the degree of formality chosen by the bride and groom to be, Sotto Voce adapts its know-how to the couple’s wishes. And now they have also added the possibility of opting for an electric violin to play pop, rock, and disco songs – and all true music lovers should know that there is the option of hiring a choir with a dozen members.
The truth is that bringing together family, friends, co-workers, and countless loved ones in the same place and on the same day requires the best conditions. And Sotto Voce knows how to put the emphasis on each of the phases of a wedding, whether it be a religious or civil ceremony: from the arrival of the guests and the bride and groom, the readings, the exchange of rings, the signatures, to the departure to the cocktail party or reception. With all the ceremony types one can go to, live performance has become the predominant trend in high society weddings. And Sotto Voce is the irrefutable proof that Mark Twain never attended a wedding in the Basque Country.
