Häävalssi englanniksi???

[Coco]

Heissan kaikki valssi expertit!

...toivottavasti minäkin pian  ;D olen semmoinen, häät on parin viikon päästä ja valssi vielä hakusessa. Olisiko kenelläkään hyvää ideaa mikä olisi hyvä "kansainvälinen" valssi tai joku muu hidas tanssi, joka sopisi "häävalssiksi". Olisi kiva, jos kappale olisi englanninkielinen, mies kun on britti... kaikki apu kiitollisena vastaanotetaan -Coco-

Englanninkielistä valssia en osaa sanoa, mutta kv. tunnettuja ovat Straussin valssit, esim. Tonava kaunoinen. Se on ihan oikea valssi, joten sen reipas ja selkeä tahti on varmaan hyvä aloittelijalle.  ;D

Sellainen kommentti vaan, nuo anglosaksit yleensä tanssivat hitaan biisin. Oma sulhoni väittää ettei hänen perheestään löydy ketään, jota voisi osallistua vanhempien valssiin! Eivät siellä osaa näitä paritansseja, joten eivät oikein ymmärrä häävalssinkaan päälle.

John Denverin Annie's Song voisi olla yksi kiva vaihtoehto... Ja on vissiin valssitahtinenkin. Lisää (ainakin Britanniassa) suosittuja "notkumiskipaleita": http://www.weddingguideuk.com/articles/wor...chceremonymusic

Moi!

Kuule, tuli mieleen ihan sellainen valssi kuin Kahden kerroksen väkeä -sarjan (Upstairs Downstairs) tunnari. Älyttömän hyvä kappale eikä ihan tuntematon, en ole tosin häissä soittanut mutta muualla kyllä. Multa ainakin löytyy nuotit.
