Eighth Note Publications: The Wedding Gig Book, Vol 1 (Paperback)

This is a collection of popular pieces of Classical music that are commonly used during wedding ceremonies. These pieces can be used as Processionals, Recessionals, the Signing of the Register or simply as a musical offering during the service. Many of the pieces are quite short and can be repeated as many times as required to facilitate timing considerations such as the bridal party coming down the aisle and the Signing of the Register. All pieces are at the medium level which makes them approachable by the widest range of brass quintets from good elementary school groups to a professional ensemble looking for 30 minutes of music. Pieces included in this volume are: Prelude to Te Deum * Ave Maria (Gounod) * Hornpipe from Water Music * Wachet Auf * Ode to Joy * Trumpet Voluntary (Clarke) * Air from Water Music * Canon * Largo from Winter (The Four Seasons) * Wedding March (Wagner).
