Wedding Ceremony
Wedding Group Entry
At the beginning of the wedding ceremony, if the best man, bridesmaid, flower girl, etc. enter the venue before the couple, the music they choose should be separated from the music when the couple enters to highlight the main status of the couple. The music for the entrance of the wedding group should be soothing and elegant. Here are two famous classical songs recommended:
"Cannon in D Major" (Paqube)
"Aria in G" (Bach)
The entry of the newlyweds
The traditional song for the entry of the newlyweds or the bride is naturally the "Wedding March". There are only two well-known "Wedding Marches", which are works by Mendelssohn and Wagner. Mendelssohn's "Wedding March" is the soundtrack to Shakespeare's play "A Midsummer Night's Dream". The music begins with a loud trumpet sound, then enters a solemn procession music, followed by a more relaxed and lively march, which is repeated twice and then blends with the elegant sound of woodwind instruments and gradually fades away. When the newcomers enter, only the beginning part is played, the tune is solemn, majestic and high-spirited. It is often used as the song for the bride's entrance in church weddings.
In non-church weddings, Wagner's "Wedding March" is more commonly used. This is the mixed chorus used by the ladies to guide the newlyweds into their new house in the third act of Wagner's opera "Lohengrin". It was adapted into orchestral music and became the current "Wedding March". This piece of music has a beautiful melody, a slow tempo, and is solemn yet lyrical. It is a perfect match for newcomers.
Newcomers who can't let go of both pieces of music often use Wagner's as the entrance piece and Mendelssohn's as the exit piece.
The newlyweds' exit
In addition to the above-mentioned Mendelssohn's "Wedding March", the newlyweds can also choose other brisk and popular tunes, such as "Ode to Joy" ( Beethoven).
Chinese love songs
