Wedding Processional Songs

Everything is planned in regard to your wedding celebration; only 7 weeks left till you will make your entrance as a bride in the large ceremonial hall of your worship place, the Cathedral you have planned to host the holiness of your vows and rings exchanging and the act of marriage. The sumptuous place is the one that will turn your ceremony in an event that requires the presence of music performed by the organ player that the priest has in his assistance personnel to help with the various ceremonies that take place in the place of worship.

You have everything planned till the last detail, the ceremony rehearsal is about to take place soon, and you want to know in advance what will be the songs that are to be performed throughout the entire displaying of the ceremonial. These songs will be the ones that will accompany your guests the moment they enter the cathedral large hall, then another song will introduce the groom and the priest to the guests, another choice of song will be the one to present the mothers accompanied by either the usher or the groomsmen (for this detail you still have to reconsider the options for the rehearsal moment not to catch you unprepared).

Then the bridesmaids will come who together with the flower girl will prepare your entrance. They have to be the ones to spiritually prepare everybody’s soul and mind for your appearance, and this can be done also by the presence of music, a song that will act as a magic cast over the guests’ presence for your arrival to totally charm the audience. And this magic can be cast with the aid of a song which has to be again performed by the organ player. And this is the point where you express your desire to have this list that contains the songs meant to be played inside your wedding ceremony.

You tell your fiancé to call the parish and settle an appointment with its musical coordinator and ask him to have the list prepared for the appointment. In this respect you plan to ask him to perform “live” the musical pieces (especially the wedding processional song) and have him specify for the exact songs he plans to introduce on every event happened in the ceremonial. You know some of these pieces by heart, you have auditioned online for several times some of these songs options, but you want to listen to them as well inside the cathedral’s large spaces; especially that this is the only opportunity for you to have your bridal entrance staged in a glamorous style.



When you meet with the organ player, he presents you the list that contains several choices for each event displayed inside the ceremonial and from the ones listed as the wedding processional songs (some of them including Handel’s “Air”, Wagner’s “Bridal chorus”, Vivaldi’s “Spring”, Purcell’s “Trumpet tune” and of course Mozart’s “Wedding march”) you go for Jeremiah Clarke’s “Trumpet voluntary” as the one to accompany your steps in your triumphal entrance as a bride in the day of your wedding ceremony.
