Discordant Vivaldi
Listener Submission: Most Unusual Wedding
Music Story
We planned a joyous celebration with close family and friends
for our wedding. The organist, whom we had never met, agreed
to a Vivaldi service. (Who can not be happy while listening
to Vivaldi?)
During the processional I began to hear some odd noises coming
from the organ. On my way down the isle I glanced at the organist
who was sporting a broken thumb with an extremely large bandage!
He was so into the music he kept forgetting not to play the
"right thumb notes"! The discordant clashes throughout
gave all our guests the giggles. Our joyous celebration was
a reality!
