Choosing music for a wedding is a very important part
of the ceremony and one that is not easy in terms of
knowing the repertoire, what is possible using the
musicians and instrument available and hos it fits into
teh service itself.
Wedding Music contains many pieces of music that are commonly used during Christian wedding services. They are organised under the main parts of the service as follows
- Before the Service
- Entry of the Bride
- During the Service
- Signing of the Register
- Exit Procession
Each section has its own list organised under the type of music including organ, hymns, solos and choral. Each piece of music has its full title, composer and at least one publisher indicated and there is a short (20-35 second) snippet of the music played on an organ to enable the start of each piece to be heard. This is the most important aspect of planning the music for a wedding since so often it is not easy to recall a piece or put a name to it.
Please be aware that the choice of music for a wedding
must be made in consultation with the Vicar or officiant
for the event and the Organist or Director of Music to
ensure that your choices are appropriate both musically
and in the context of the celebration.
