BUT it's scored for two pianos, and ends with the the mezzo and baritone in
very close harmony on a G-flat (4) for the baritone and an A-flat (4) for the
mezzo (and the chords in the pianos are also close as well). You'd have to
have one very hip couple to agree to have that piece at their ceremony ...
and one very musically accomplished pair of singers, because it moves through
harmonies and meters like no one's business .... and another pair of fine
pianists.
