In my blog I decided to place the spotlight on some specific styles of weddings. In the majority of cases we are trying to share the traditional music. The examples of this music are usually featured in a Catholic wedding ceremony. Modern Catholic wedding is the procession that is organized in churches. The traditional wedding ceremony lasts approximately for about 20 to 30 minutes. Many of the modern brides show the tendency to choose a string quartet, a harpist, a classical guitarist. Woodwind quintet is the good addition to the traditional wedding ceremony. This kind of musical accompaniment is not limited by tradition. According to the recent research, Catholic wedding music can be described as the reflection of the peoples’ personal taste and the desire to discover new things. The analysis of the main issues proves that the major part of musical pieces is played during the prelude. The range of musical pieces includes such ones as Bach’s “Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desire” and others. All the above mentioned musical pieces are followed by the prelude. In the major part of the cases the music is played for the seating of the mothers and grandmothers. “Canon in D” by Pachebel can be described as the preferable music of all parents.

Bride’s procession is often followed by a processional song. The Catholic wedding procession is often followed by several groups. The groups are gathering around the church’s altar.

Wagner’s “Bridal Chorus” has been released by Loheng. The chorus remains to be a popular choice for the major part of the people who take part in the wedding ceremony. Catholic wedding music The other Catholic wedding music is known under the name “Here Comes the Bride.” The music has been performed at Lady Diana’s wedding to Prince Charles. The music has been followed by Jeremiah Clarke’s “Prince of Denmark March”. The march has become an extremely popular example of a processional music. Processional music is sometimes attributed to Henry Purcell’s “Trumpet Voluntary”. The traditional wedding ceremony is accompanied by several hymns. The hymns are especially true for liturgical settings. Solos and short musical pieces are traditionally used for the lighting of the Unity Candle. Solos are often played at the end of the wedding ceremony. During the ceremony a new couple marches down the aisle. People are performing a lively recessional song. The song is frequently performed by the guests of the ceremony. Mendelssohn’s “Wedding March” is the leading type of music that is performed during the wedding ceremony. Catholic wedding music often includes such songs as a Midsummer Night’s Dream. Widor’s “Toccata” from Symphony No. 5 also remains to be one of the favorite songs performed by a composer. The wedding ceremony is often accompanied by an instrumental postlude.
