Popular Love Songs

Updated 1/8/2021  to add even more of the most popular and romantic love songs from the 20th century (with a few from the 21st century). Especially selected by Dorothy Barth, these tunes are both beautiful and well-suited for the violin; they create the perfect background music for romantic weddings, quinceaneras, birthday parties, and anniversary celebrations.

Dorothy Barth also offers a large repertory of older songs from the 1920's to the 1950's for those wishing to incorporate nostalgic music in their reception. 

NOTE: If you have a special request not on this list, Dorothy will first see if it is in her sheet music library. If she does not have  the music in her library, Dorothy will research it to see if it is available as sheet music AND suitable for the violin. For your special event, she will purchase sheet music for up to 2 special requests not in her repertory and transcribe/adapt/rehearse them for violin (a process which can take many hours). Beyond two special requests, there will be an additional charge for each additional song purchased and transcribed. 

In general, music by some  young pop artists will not be in Dorothy's  library because it has not yet been published as sheet music. In addition, some of this music may not be suitable for violin.
