From the first note sprung from fiddle strings, this
compilation of instrumental wedding music inspires an
impassioned sense of timelessness. What more can one ask for
in wedding music?
With skillful players rounding out her ensemble -- Ken Darby
on mandolin, octave mandolin and guitar; Dorothy Hawkinson on
fiddle and hardingfele; Steve McArthur on accordion and
guitar; John Roos on bodhran and other percussion; and Tom
Sharkey on guitar -- Anne Roos manages to capture the tone and
mood of a perfect wedding celebration.
Featuring Celtic songs both familiar and soon to be beloved,
Haste to the Wedding includes prelude music of "Red is the
Rose," "Bridget Cruise (Second and Third Airs)," "Black is the
Colour," "The Lark in the Clear Air," "Ay Waukin O!" and "My
Lagan Love." Accompaniments for the processional are "Manx
Courting Song," "The Gentle Maiden," "Give Me Your Hand" and
"Star of the County Down." "Bridget Cruise (First and Fourth
Airs)" "She Moved Through the Fair" and "Women of Ireland"
comprise background selections for the ceremony. "Kitty's
Wedding," "Mairi's Wedding," "Corn Rigs are Bonnie/Star of the
County Down (March Version)" and "The Foxhunter's Jig/Haste to
the Wedding" mark the recessional with a sense of jubilation
and lively celebration. These songs flow from the fingers of
Roos and her ensemble naturally, like an age-old breeze.
