Cheek to Cheek is a song written by Irving Berlin in 1935 for the Fred Astaire/Ginger Rogers movie Top Hat (1935). (DE: Cheek to Cheek ist ein Lied von Irving Berlin, das er für den Film Ich tanz´ mich in dein Herz hinein (1935) geschrieben hatte.) This arrangement is perfect for any entertaining purposes.


Instrumentation: Flute, Oboe, Clarinet in Bb, Horn in F, Bassoon

This arrangement was adapted for a wood quintet ensemble, ideal to be performed at weddings and by groups of music beginners, which does not prevent it from being performed by professionals in the area. The piece has approximately 2 minutes and 33 seconds of duration, being in a comfortable time for those performing it, so that there is no difference between this version and the composer's original.

The Four Seasons, Italian Le quattro stagioni, group of four violin concerti by Italian composer Antonio Vivaldi, each of which gives a musical expression to a season of the year. Unusually for the time, Vivaldi published the concerti with accompanying poems (possibly written by Vivaldi himself) that elucidated what it was about those seasons that his music was intended to evoke. This movement is illustrated textually in a sonnet with the following description:

Standing quietly and contentedly by the fire
While outside the rain bathes everything;
Walk on the ice with slow step
For fear of falling in the attempt.
To feel when going out through the stinging door,
Sirocco, Borea, and all the winds at war;
That this is winter, but such, that joy door.

The well-known Wedding Entrance March in a version for wood quintet, easy and respecting the essence of the original work, can be played freely inside churches or anywhere in marriage ceremonies. Ideal for music beginners or professional teachers, it can also be performed in academic or graduation recitals.

It is a bridal march played at the entrance of many Western wedding ceremonies. In English-speaking countries, it is generally known as "Here Comes the Bride" or "Wedding March", but "wedding march" refers to any piece in march tempo accompanying the entrance or exit of the bride, notably Felix Mendelssohn's "Wedding March". Wagner's piece was made popular when it was used as the processional at the wedding of Victoria the Princess Royal to Prince Frederick William of Prussia in 1858. Unlike the current tradition of it being played at the beginning of the ceremony, the work is performed after the wedding of Lohengrin and Elsa in the opera.
