Wedding Musicians

Wedding Musicians and Music
An increasing number of people who are getting married nowadays want wedding musicians and music that not only compliment the setting of a church but also reflect the feeling that the couple wish to create. So here are a few tips for the possibilities of music and musicians.

The Church Wedding
Deciding on the music for a wedding in church might be quite clear-cut. However, it often will depend on if you choose on classic music or go for a more modern option where the Bride and groom pick music that is more current or means something particular to them.

Possibly the most significant music is the Bride's processional piece. The standard music for this is the "Bridal Chorus" by Wagner often known as "Here Comes the Bride". Nevertheless, more regularly, couples are selecting pieces that represent their own preferences in music which may include Pachelbel's "Canon in D" or "Jesu Joy of Mans Desiring", both of which are very well liked. "The Arrival of the Queen of Sheba" also makes a wonderful entry piece.

You might find that you want more hymns incorporated in the wedding than time will permit. These may include: Love divine all loves excelling and Lead us heavenly Father lead us. Obviously if you desire a lighter style of hymn like all things bright and beautiful or morning has broken and make me a channel of your peace, are all ideal.

The next choice could be deciding on the music to have through the signing of the register. If you choose to have a soloist, he or she might have a repertoire to choose from. Even so, the choir may sing a suitable piece or the organist play until the Bride and groom finish their job of signing the register.

The Bride and Groom's exit, or recessional music is frequently the customary "Wedding March" by Mendelssohn but it can also be quite popular to have Vidor's "Toccata" - just to examine the organist! Or a "Trumpet Voluntary" by Clarke or Purcell.

Wedding Musicians
An organist and choir are not the sole choice for a wedding ceremony. Partners frequently opt for a flute and classical guitar or a flute and harpist at wedding ceremonies. This occurs mostly when couples choose not to have any hymns! This might appear rather unconventional, but not all couples who may have a ceremony put on in a church location, also want traditional hymns. This is all the more so with regards to civil ceremonies, where music with a religious association is frequently prohibited. Additional options for musicians may consist of a pianist or string quartet.

No matter what wedding musicians or music pieces you may decide on, it is the Bride and groom who ought to have the ultimate approval, in the end, it is their big day.
