In what now seems a past life, I was a classically trained opera singer. OK, so not really. I sang opera, and I was in a small liberal arts school with specialization in voice and was formed by someone who was once an opera singer. I also took 9 + years of piano lessons and therefore, all these piano lessons and singing opera comes a severe appreciation and love of music. All types of music. Above all, a love of classical music. Decide what music to use in our ceremony, is therefore very difficult for me. Because I like some pieces so much and want to use them, but they are not "traditional" ceremony music
But, as Ryan just told me, "nothing else is normal on our marriage." Yes, he has just told me that. Boy really knows how to make a crazy girl, right? Thus, throwing caution to the wind and say who cares if everyone thinks that our choice of music is strange, if we wanted to, it ' s gonna be right!
We decided long ago we did not really have someone sing to our marriage and would prefer to use mainly of instrumental music. Being myself a "wedding singer", I know how it is difficult for the spouses to choose a song. I can't tell you people have said how many times myself, "I want that you sing but I don't know that." You can choose only a few songs for us right? "In addition, total confession, I'm picky on the singers. REAL capricieux. So unfortunate. Therefore, I would rather not deal with (1) find someone to sing that meets my high standards and (2) choose a real song for them to sing. Thus, certain choices. (Bless Youtube to do all this so we have - I imagine once brides were to go to get CD s test really all this music!)
I love Debussy. LOVE. I remember the first time I heard "Clair de Lune" played by a live accomplished pianist. I have melted. This is just the most romantic song and there was never. Once again, although not a typical song "marriage."
I don't know if this can be a song "procession". I assumed that if nothing otherwise may be pre-ceremony music, but I can try to stealthily in as processional or use it at the ceremony at a certain time. Only, I don't think it "moves" enough procession. And, it is not really "big" enough for a bridal processional…
But can I furtively otherwise in Debussy? Maybe some "Arabesque"?
I think that this might work quite lovely for a procession of bridesmaids. It is romantic, but also has some major movement to her also and a bit of grandeur. But it is too soon?
Bach is an another favorite, and it is just beautiful.
I think that it would be LOVELY for our late afternoon wedding. It is not as fast as the Arabesque, but it still has some subtle movement in it even, so I think that I can go with her bridesmaids.
Procession SW, wedding dresses. It must be something romantic. And, I would prefer something with a small size.
He is big on Romance, but not so high on the aahhh Grandeur… Liszt.
Then there is this... I mean, you have to love the name, "The arrival of the Queen of Sheba." Thank you, Mr. Handel.
Optimist. Grand. Step so romantic. Hmm… But I love, it's so peppy.
I still have not decided exactly how the ceremony is "go" - which means, if we do a candle of the unit, what readings, etc. If other music ceremony and its necessity is up in the air. We also plan on the use of something fun and different to our output and married, but we did not chose exactly that yet either. Although I'm not the traditional "classic" road music, what other fun or different music that you use in your ceremonies?
Happy planning!
