serenaded

Wooed with song

Serenaded is the past tense of serenade—to perform music for someone, traditionally a lover beneath their window at night.

The word has broadened: She was serenaded by birdsong each morning, The crowd serenaded the retiring player with cheers.

Being serenaded implies you're the honored recipient of the performance.
