Hello all, this is Dan's wife Katie. Today, I'd like to tell you about MY favorite composer, on his birthday. You may not know that my husband, in addition to being a fabulous pianist and classical music buff (as evidenced by this blog), is also a composer in his own right. Below is his greatest work, in my opinion.
First, a little background. Dan wrote this song for our wedding, almost 6 years ago. He performed it at our reception--I was completely surprised. The words tell the story of our courtship, but they also are a very beautiful depiction of marriage, "a picture of the oneness between Christ and His Church". In the last verse of the song, Dan took many biblical descriptions of marriage and put them together. As for the music, I prefer to think of it as part of the romantic genre ;-).
About a year after we were married, a friend professionally recorded Dan's song--Dan both sings and plays the piano. Today, I have a surprise of my own. I put that recording together with a collection of photos and videos from our engagement and wedding. I hope you enjoy it!
Happy Birthday, my love!!
