A few weeks ago, I posted an article with some instrumental wedding music ideas. Here are even more ideas for you.
As with the previous article, I’ll mainly focus on pieces written for a single solo instrument (I’ll save pieces for multiple instruments for yet another article).
Between these two articles, I hope you have plenty of instrumental wedding music ideas. But don’t forget that there’s plenty more music out there. These two lists only scratch the surface.
The instruments in parentheses are just some of the possible solo instruments you could use with the listed piece of music. In most cases, either a piano or organ can accompany the piece:
- Purcell: Trumpet Tune (trumpet, harp)
- Mouret: Rondeau (aka Theme from PBS’ “Masterpiece Theater”) (trumpet, harp, classical guitar)
- Pachelbel: Canon in D (harp, violin, oboe, cello, flute)
- David Johnson: Trumpet Tune in D (trumpet)
- Handel: Largo (from Xerxes) (violin, flute, cello, oboe, trumpet)
- Clarke: Trumpet Voluntary in D (trumpet, flute)
- Bach: Jesu Joy of Man’s Desiring (violin, flute, harp, classical guitar, trumpet)
- Bach: Air on the G String from Orchestral Suite #3 in D (violin, flute, cello, classical guitar, oboe)
- Bach: Sheep May Safely Graze (flute, violin, harp, classical guitar, trumpet)
- Grandjany: Aria in Classic Style (organ/piano plus harp)
There’s much more music out there.
I included a few example preview links above. If these are helpful to you, be sure to check out my Guide to Selecting Memorable Church Wedding Music. The guide contains preview links for almost every piece of music—over 20 pages worth!
