Ceremonial Music
Mendelssohn - The Famous Wedding March And of course, don't miss more of Mendelssohn's works at PRS.net's Mendelssohn Page. This is a great midi site. Listen to the Wedding March, midi style
Graduation A little unusual and off the "beaten path" but I think that upon examination, you will enjoy the description of this ceremony (ritual) offered at this site.
Chinese Ceremonial Sound Files - This is simply an ftp page for acquiring various Chinese sound files. You might find it helpful if you are doing a unit on China and need something for the children to listen to that is more than just a folksong from your textbooks. As far as the ceremonies that go with these sound files, I couldn't find any information about that.
Taiwan Ceremonial Sound Files - Most of these songs fit some special commemorative days in Taiwan, relative to the history of Republic of China, great people gone or for the ceremony.
This site offers brief excerpts from popular music that is played at Weddings. Note: These are mostly used in traditional weddings of the Western part of the World.
The Reading from the Torah - This is part of the traditional Bar Mitzvah ceremony from which the celebrated child reads scripture.
The Torah Page for a description of the Torah and Jewish terminology. No music, though. Sorry.
Grolier's Online Info about the Presidency Interesting and informative.
Sousa, FAQ and the The John Philip Sousa Site
Pomp and Circumstance In case you missed it, this is one of the links in the first paragraph. This site offers a sound file. I searched long and hard for this link. ;-)
Birthday Dirges This is weird.
The Didgeridoo Page Just for fun.
