Wedding Music

Posted by Sarah Canice Funke May 27, 2006

The end of May and beginning of June is a popular time for weddings. The weather is beautiful, and schedules slow down before the summer quarter gets going. But the question that every bride-to-be must face is "What will I walk down the aisle to?" She could rely on common consensus and pick the popular choices: Pachelbel's "Canon in D," Handel's "Largo," or Wagner's "Wedding March" (the "Here comes the bride" number). But what if she is looking for something a little bit more off the beaten path? She wants to stay traditional (nothing like Cage's 4'33", please), but wants to find some good classical music that will surprise and delight her guests. Stay tuned for next week, when the classical music section will feature an article on "Unusual and Lovely" music for the perfect wedding processional. If you have any suggestions from your experience (whether you've planned a wedding or attended a few), please feel free to add them here.
