All Saints Episcopal Church, Western Springs

Harpist's view! 

This was such a pleasure. I have played for this congregation on Christmas Eve for over 25 years! Every few years I get invited to play for them at some other time of year, and I always love it. Seeing all of them turn out to celebrate a marriage was just a completely joyful experience. The couple chose a variety of music from an old fashioned hymn (Shall We Gather By the River) to a modern love song (All of Me, sung by a family friend with harp accompaniment). In between, they wanted the Bach Prelude #1 and Trumpet Voluntary. For the Bride's walk, she chose Storybook Love from "The Princess Bride". I find that to be an endearing piece for many people, and it makes a really wonderful processional.


The fence outside the church was decorated!
