WEDDING SERIES - a set of popular songs and wedding standards that I've been arranged for years (some aren't as standard, but still). The formations are varied, from duos to orchestras with chorus. Most are mixed/flexible sextets where some instruments can be replaced and, as a result, ensembles can be completely changed. Some arrangements have abbreviated versions (excerpts) and are in several keys to adapt to a wide range of voices. These options are available in my catalog.
EMPIRE STATE OF MIND - iconic song of Jay-Z with the bealtiful vocals of Alicia Keys. Here arranged for a octet for wedding purposes. The ensemble can be reduced to a sextet with Flute, Trumpet, Drum Set, Piano, Violin (1) and Cello.
(Obviously, it's very difficult to transcribe a rap into an instrumental part. That's why I tried to improve the melody but I recommend soloists to improvise on this part.)
INSTRUMENTATION - Flute | Trumpet | Drum Set | Piano | Strings (-Viola).
