The string quartet’s popularity has spanned hundreds of years from the 18th century, starting with Haydn’s Royal Viennese Quartet to quartets such as the 2019 Grammy Winning Kronos Quartet.
What do all these have in common? Two violins, a viola, and a cello. Simply put, what you get with a string quartet is 400 years of tradition and excellence in beauty, sound, and perfection. If you’d like to be more creative but still maintain that sound, you can replace the 1st violin with a flute, oboe, and saxophone (or piano). I think baby grand pianos look so elegant at weddings! For church weddings, we like adding a trumpet player.
Here is video of Quartet with flute.
Ahahah. I read the title, and I was like, “5-piece string QUARTET, eh?” LOL. Nice.
I love the sound of a string quartet and the class it brings to an event. There’s nothing better.
I’ve been to many intimate events and celebrations that featured a string trio. I think it’s best to have four musicians and vary the sounds with a different instrument such as piano or flute, like you suggest. Still, the simple trio is a good choice when money is tight.
Haha great title! I wish we had been able to afford musicians. Instead we chose a lot of songs and created a playlist. The iPad chose to glitch though… And we ended up having to use YouTube. Wasn’t the best, but made some laughs.
That’s just every girls dream to book a Five Piece String Quartet for her wedding. Or atleast I am guessing it is, I know I would love it 😀
This kind of music sends me over the moon. Cello is my favorite.
This is so so beautiful! I love classical music, amazing!!! Thank you so much for sharing…
i just lost myself listening to all these videos! i am mesmerised
I love classical music, but it has been a while since I have seen anyone play a quartet anywhere, let alone in a wedding – I guess I am one of the few people here who would really enjoy it – however, I find this idea so romantic! It is a perfect addition to a great wedding, in my opinion! Blessings!
I found this article both refreshing and informative. Out of all the videos my favorites happen to be the YMCA and human nature. Like damn! I’m just smiling right now. This is just wow! Thanks for this.
Classical music is so amazing. Always takes my breath away. And I didn’t know all these things. Can’t wait for my wedding now!
Really love this article. Love to learn more about String Quartet. Thanks for sharing
I love a string quartet! So beautiful and wonderful to listen to! And I would also listen to five-piece string quartet 🤣
