What has been written about Wedding Music  Lancaster   

A sample of what has been written about wedding music groups-

Think of the forward motion of music as of a river. Tempo, as we shall see, is the current. Each player should feel his voice a tributary stream winding in and out and in again, part of a greater whole. He must enter without beginning and cease without stopping. He should feel as though that whole were emanating from his own mind, only his fingers being limited to his particular instrument.
