More about this title

About the Composer: Lynne Latham

Lynne Latham has built a reputation for creating accessible yet sophisticated arrangements and original works that solve real pedagogical problems in string education. Her output spans multiple levels of difficulty and instrumentation, with a particular gift for writing music that sounds far more impressive than its technical demands suggest.

Why we love this

Latham recognizes a real scheduling constraint in wedding music: finding repertoire that sounds complete and polished when you're working with limited instrumentation. These duets are written to shine with just two violins, meaning no one feels like they're filling a gap or playing a reduced arrangement.

What to expect

These pieces capture the elegance and sentiment of wedding music without requiring the full orchestral apparatus. Each duet balances melodic beauty with the technical satisfaction of playing meaningful material that feels both intimate and complete.

Who it's for

Wedding musicians working with limited instrumentation, duet ensembles seeking refined classical repertoire, and violin students ready to perform in professional contexts. This book is essential for any string player booked for ceremonies and receptions where a full ensemble isn't available.

How to get the most out of it

  • Balance the melodic material between parts so both violinists stay engaged throughout. Check for passages where one voice carries the primary line and adjust dynamics accordingly.
  • Use vibrato to enhance the emotional warmth of these pieces, particularly in slower sections where the melody needs to sustain without accompaniment support.
  • Rehearse together frequently to align tone quality and intonation; the intimacy of a duo means every slight variation will be audible to the audience.
  • Consider the acoustics of your venue when planning final rehearsals, as two violins will project differently depending on whether you're playing indoors or outside.

How to use it

Open your ceremony or reception with one of these duets as the couple processes or during cocktail hour. Pair multiple selections throughout the event to maintain a refined atmosphere while showcasing the versatility of two-violin writing.

Skills your students will build

  • Playing as an equal partner in a duo without conductor support
  • Balancing melody and harmony across two independent lines
  • Sustaining tone through longer phrasing in reduced instrumentation
  • Adapting vibrato and dynamics for emotional expression in chamber music
