Jazz & Classical Viola from Katrina Wreede
Truly original, evocative and
witty. Jazz, classical and sound
collage music for viola. Rich,
deep, and sometimes silly.
Jazz historian Leonard Feather once said Katrina Wreede has “extemporaneous mastery rate,
perhaps unique, in the annals of the viola.” A prize-winning composer and former violist with Turtle
Island String Quartet, she has dedicated her career to expanding stylistic boundaries and helping
position the often maligned viola in its rightful place as a profoundly expressive instrument capable
of evoking the totality of human emotion. Wreede’s Add Viola and Stir is a satisfyingly complex
sampling of those adventures.

Katrina Wreede’s “California Eclectic” style ranges from chamber and dance music to orchestral
works and “Violaerbics-A Technical Workout for Violists”. Her works have been performed by the
Chamber Orchestra of Boston, Omaha Symphony, San Jose Chamber Orchestra, the Ahn Trio,
Pegasus Quartet, San Jose Quartet, Turtle Island String Quartet, Colorado Chamber Players, violist
Karen Elaine, Mill Valley Philharmonic, Axis Dance Company, David Parsons Dance Company,
Argentina’s Orchestra Rosario, and soon the Northern California Viola Society. Based in the San
Francisco Bay Area, she also travels around the country with her unique interactive education
workshops: “My Goldfish Died – Blues for Strings,” and “Composing Together.”

Katrina Wreede’s works might fall into many categories, but they are all full of humor, with an
occasional tinge of melancholy or twist of attitude – just like the viola itself.

New Age Latin Jazz from Luna Blanca
"TOP 10 Recording! A Latin-oriented ensemble
sound that makes the listener feel they are
traveling to a warm climate to enjoy good times."
Their latest work PROVENCE is a delightful 12-track
‘amuse-bouche’ with tunes titled in French and Spanish.
Favorites include “Driving,“ a fast paced road tune
featuring guitars and flute, “Côte d’Azur” with brilliant
vocals and Mediterranean warmth and the sweet sound
of “Crème Brûlée .” PROVENCE is a really evocative
glimpse into the world of European New Age.

Extra special care should always go into the music selection for your wedding. There are
many factors to consider. If your wedding ceremony will include prerecorded music, then you
will probably also want to have "background music" playing as your guests arrive.

Also if there will be prerecorded music at your reception, you would need something there
as well for when guests arrive. The key to both of these is to have something that's not too
overbearing. You want music that sets the mood for good times to come as the night
progresses.

As far as wedding receptions are concerned, if music is going to be a big part of the
entertainment, as in having a DJ or band, you should make sure that they play well known
music so that it is enjoyable for everyone. Most DJs and bands are prepared to provide
background music as well.

But for those of you who are looking to add that extra detail that makes your wedding all the
more unique, you might consider some of the music listed below.
