I started writing this song in 2020, around when I began playing the harp more often and when I first started writing my own original pieces. It went through several iterations, but what started out as an experiment in mixolydian mode turned out to be a calming piece that celebrates just being still. So often we pack our schedules to the brim, and burn out trying to do all the things. Lately I've come to appreciate the value of just stopping to breathe, to pray, to just be in the moment. Sometimes the best music happens in the space between notes.

I had a burr under my saddle to write a Celtic-sounding wedding song using the familiar fourth interval we hear at the beginning of Here Comes the Bride. Of course, playing with this in Dorian produced a lovely, rich melody and harmony, but further experimentation led me to a lighter-toned version of that same melody in Mixolydian. Thus, the idea of separating the song into Groom and Bride sections was born. Each section is ABA format, with the same A part in the respective modes, but their B part differs slightly. The third section (the Couple) utilizes the Groom's A part and the Bride's B part, symbolizing how a man and woman unite their lives as part of their wedding vows.

Level: intermediate
Length: 3 to 3.5 minutes, depending on tempo.
