Wedding Ceremony Music Part I

So you’re planning a wedding, but you don’t have the budget or assistance that Kate Middleton has? So how can you give your special day the royal touch with a recessionista’s budget? One thing that will really bring your ceremony to life is the musical program. Traditionally weddings have utilized some of the most beautiful classical music that give the ceremony a special elegance and sophistication. Below are some suggestions of typical repertoire for procession/recessional.

-Wedding March from A Midsummer Night’s Dream- Felix Mendelssohn


-Allegro Maestoso from Water Music- G.F. Handel


-Trumpet Tune- Henry Purcell


-Toccata from Symphonie 5, opus 42- Charles-Marie Widor


-Canon in D- Johann Pachelbel


-Bridal Chorus from Lohengrin- Richard Wagner


Check back next time for a listing of beautiful classical vocal settings that can be sung prior to the wedding and during the ceremony.
