On October 10, 2010, I married Jocelyn Miller at the Lockwood-Mathews Mansion in Norwalk, CT. Jocelyn, a Product Manager at Google and a student at the Parsons School of Design, had designed and made her own wedding gown--it was absolutely spectacular. I had composed the music for the wedding including the Procession and Fanfare, two songs, and the dance music. The dance music hasn't been recorded yet, but it will be. The wedding was wonderful and it was a joy to share it with so many lovely and gracious people.

Below I share some of the photographs of our wedding by Seth Litroff and Wendy Knox, who did an amazing job, as well as audio for you to hear my Two Wedding Pieces and one of the songs my brother sang in the wedding.

Jocelyn & Matt's Wedding

We were married at the Lockwood-Mathews Mansion in Norwalk, CT.

My brother, opera singer Chad A. Johnson, sang two of my songs. Brian Horner played the obbligato saxophone part.

A captivatingly framed picture of us watching Chad's performance. (You can view his website at: www.chadajohnsontenor.com)

I found myself kissing Jocelyn quite a lot! :)

Our wedding had a Victorian-modern theme, just like my music!

I love this picture of us.

Now the question is, how can we get a house like that!

Jocelyn with Parsons' fashion teacher Vashti de Verteuil. She helped Jocelyn create her own wedding gown.

Vashti has a lovely women's shop in Manhattan: http://www.wunderbloc.com/galleryvercon

The groom paid a visit to the bride's dressing room after the wedding.

I've never seen a more beautiful woman.

The beginning of happily ever after...

Photographer Wendy thought this one was especially cute.

Tres elegant!

Isn't the dress amazing? It has Swarovski Crystals ornamenting the skirt.

I had inherited the tuxedo from Schuyler Chapin. It's an authentic old-style tuxedo, and it fit perfectly with no alterations at all!

We both enjoyed the day enormously.

Jocelyn's dress was sumptuously rich--she did a fantastic job!

As I said, I found myself kissing her quite a lot.

A lot of wonderful outdoor photos were possible at the picturesque Victorian mansion.

The wedding party toasts: Jocelyn & me with Best Man Shrikant and Matron of Honor Minal.

  • Hi Mr Johnson I´m a saxophone player who loves to hear your works. But my wishes are to play your sheets by myself. on your page here the music sheets are offered as free but the links all don't work. so my question is, if you could send me the stuff by e-mail in pdf formate. cause you are administrator, i think, you should have my adress. i thank you a thousand times

  • Stumbled onto your site on the internet and was delighted to hear your music. I would like to perform the adagio with a saxophonist in a concert in three weeks so would appreciate a digital copy (pdf file) as soon as possible- -is there any possibility of getting it this way. I downloaded some mp3 files thinking they would be music, but discovered the book would be sent by mail, which would take too long. Thanks for your help and blessings! Will order the book as well.
