Catholic Wedding Processional Songs

Each culture has its defining elements, each religion has its imposed dogmas. But when it comes about weddings a ceremony can be alike, in the same sprit. After all the common point existing is the unity of the bride and groom.

A catholic wedding I don’t see why it should have a different music repertory. If it is to choose religious songs, traditional ones then surely the songs are not the same ones in all cases. Generally but even particularly speaking the processional part for example meets a common point at the classic music category at all weddings. It is on the one hand suitable for the sacred place, suitable for this solemn time; on the other hand it is about the priests’ approval on this.

Christian, catholic wedding processional songs have all the same source of inspiration and selection. The most common ones are “Bridal march” also known as “Here comes the bride” by Richard Wagner and “Canon in D” Johann Pachelbel. But on the same page is “Trumpet voluntary” by Richard Clarke. It is a matter of taste now about what to decide finally.

But with the consideration that the processional wedding part is the bridal moment of glory the music plays an important role. It is about making the suspense accentuated, about the marching in the proper way so the rhythm to correspond with the needs. The requests are high as well as the expectations. So to be that limited is not the bride’s wishing plan.
