From the CD case insert:

“For my friends and family, along with anyone else who may be listening to this piece, I just wanted to say a few words, so that you
might understand what you’re hearing a little better. Early in 2010, my brother Danny asked me asked if I would write the music for his
and his fiancé Kirby’s upcoming wedding. I of course said yes, and began working on it immediately. I am of the firm belief it would be a
waste of an opportunity to not “personalize” the product in some way when dealing with a commission of this sort, so I asked the bride-
and-groom-to-be if they wanted me to throw in any references to any favorite songs or anything else they might want. We chatted and
came up with a few that we liked, Jason Mraz’s “I’m Yours” (one of their favorite songs), Regina Spektor’s “Samson,” and even a theme
from Battlestar Galactica. One thing they were very clear about though was absolutely no Pachelbel. So if you listen closely to the piece,
in the wedding party’s processional, you’ll hear a very methodical Jason Mraz, in the bride and groom’s recessional a triumphant
“Samson,” fitting, I know, or in the postlude, an off-kilter Battlestar Galactica motif cozying itself up to some proper wedding music. If
you listen even more closely, throughout the entire piece, you’ll hear no less than three iterations of Pachelbel’s famous Canon in D,
though I of course can’t tell you where. Woops. For the rest of the piece, I thought since this was supposed to be a joyous occasion, there
ought to be some dancing, so the entire prelude and postlude is based on old Renaissance dance forms, like the pavane, the galliard, the
basse danse and tourdion, the allemande, and even a wacky and souped-up courante. I hope these little tidbits of information help you
to appreciate the music a bit better than you would just by listening, though I hope that is a satisfying experience as well. Mostly though,
to Danny and Kirby, I hope you both like it, and I hope it will be something that you’ll keep with you for the rest of your long and happy
lives.”

There will be a super limited pressing of physical copies, only enough for a small package under the bride and groom's Christmas tree, so this is a digital-only album. However, I'm setting aside 10 limited edition signed copies for $50 each (think Kickstarter rewards, that is you get a CD plus my never-ending gratitude), and if you're interested in one, just shoot me a message using the "Contact Matthew Samson" button to the right.
