Book Reviews of Mel Bay Presents Complete Book of Wedding Music for Flute or Violin
Book Review: Not violin friendly
Summary: 3 Stars
Since I play violin solo for weddings on occasion, I bought this collection. Unfortunately it proved to be not very useful for the following reasons: (1) There are several long 8va passages. Give me ledger lines any day! 8va's are like clef changes - hard to process on the fly. For intermediate players this may be okay since it gives them the option of playing the melody in the lower octave.
(2) Key for Mendelssohn's Wedding March was changed from the original C major to A-flat (4 flats). Not only is the key more difficult, it doesn't sound quite as good.
(3) The violin/flute part for Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring only has the chorale melody. The triplet melody that this piece is best known for is in the piano accompaniment, which is okay unless you plan to play this piece solo.
A much better collection is the Violin & Piano Wedding Collection from Latham Music Ltd. (run the name through a search engine).
