What is a String Quartet? Well, the word "string" refers to instruments that belong to the string family i.e violin, viola and cello. "Quartet" means four. Hence, these two words together means, a combination of 4 string musicians performing together as an ensemble. The typical string quartet consist of :- 1st violinist 2nd violinist viola player cellist The 1st violinist generally plays the melody, but occasional alternating with the 2nd violinist. The 2nd violin and viola player commonly plays the harmony with either long or detached notes. And finally, the cellist or cello player provides the bass, bottom or the support for the melody and harmony. The reason why I'm defining "string quartet" is because one particular guest at this wedding event which I was coordinating, ask me what it meant. I am so use to regurgitating the phrase "string quartet" in my years in the music industry that I unconscientiously assume that everyone is cognizant. Hence, I reckon this post will be timely to recount. Anyway, this video is the summation of a Malay wedding held in Dewan Merak Kayangan KL on the 23rd of July 2010. It is the wedding reception of Aainaa and Yasir, and Jason Geh Entertainment provided the string quartet performance, as entertainment during the wedding. The string quartet performed their first set at 8pm to usher in the guest. When the hall was filled, Pachelbel's Canon in D Major was played for the bridal couple's grand entrance. The string quartet continued their second set during the Merinjis ceremony, where parents and immediate relatives came up to the Pelamin (on stage) to give blessings to the newly weds. Do note on this video how nice the music of the string quartet fitted in, during this ceremony. Make sure you watch the video till the end to catch clips of other entertainment that happened later in the night, and a touching speech given by Aainaa's elder sister channeled towards Yasir.
