More Combinations of Wedding Processional SongsMy gift to you: A few great wedding processional song combination ideas.

A majority of couples these days have two wedding processional songs: one for the bridal party (or sometimes the wedding party) and one for the bride herself.

When a couple chooses this direction, they have to find two pieces of music that go together well in a complementary way (because the pieces are played back-to-back). I doubt too many couples would want two pieces of music that clash.

Trumpet Voluntary Wedding MusicLike Clarkeʼs Trumpet Voluntary but want something a little different?

Jeremiah Clarkeʼs Trumpet Voluntary in D (also known as “The Prince of Denmarkʼs March”) is a very well-known and commonly-used piece of wedding music.

As luck would have it, the trumpet voluntary is not just the name of a piece but itʼs also a style of music in which many pieces have been written! Even better for you, many of these other pieces make great choices for weddings! [Read the full article…]
