Processional music

thumper10

I'm sorry for having to ask this question, i'm sure its not the first time..:o
but i'm looking for an instrumental piece of m usic for the entrance to the church, now i know there's the usual once - wedding march, but i'd like something different,:rolleyes: was thinking of Yiruma - Maybe or something along those llines, just would like something different....maybe if anyone could recommend a piece of music from a film, even that we could just use the instumental and leave out the words....suppose you want something a bit lively.....all help appreciate as always

We had Songbird by Eva Cassidy as our processional song. Not sure how it would work as an instrumental though??

You've just reminded me that there's a fiddle player in the brother's band... wonder if I could get him to do the cermony music...

O/H is getting very tempted to copy you irishbird!

Often get asked about the instrumental of Everlong by Foo Fighters (due to the fame it got from Friends when Monica and Chandler get married)

failing that, some "unknown" or different arrangements have been:
Flightless Bird,American Mouth-Iron and Wine
She Moved Through the Fair-Violin Solo
Landslide-Fleetwood Mac
Spiegel im Spiegel-Arvo Part. (stunning, simple, very suitable for a small wedding where there isn't many guest or much fumbling to see the bride's procession, etc)
Galileo-Declan O'Rourke.
Your Hand in Mine-Explosions in the Sky.

Hope this gets the creative juices flowing. As long as its special to you and your OH,that's all that matters

Hope you don't mind but we've actually just decided to use it in our wedding ceremony. We've a very talented fiddle player and piano player that we're hoping to have play instrumentals of 'To Make You Feel my Love' by Bob Dylan when my fiancée is walking down the isle and 'Don't Stop Believing' as we walk back down it as a married couple.

Clare Bear

Love your choice of Don't Stop Believing guys.

I think our music when we walk down the isle together will be All you need is love.

We're having Edelweiss from the sound of music. My Dad is walking me down the aisle and it's our favourite film - we even went on a trip to Salzburg just the two of us a few years ago so we thought it was appropriate. Nice to have something about my relationship with the other important man in my life too My mother thinks we're mad! Do you have any music that means something to you like that?

Another popular but also a bit different choice is the arrival of the queen of sheba. I thought about that one. It's lovely.

What will you have playing the music OP. Is it a singer, string quartet or an organ or something else?

Sleepy

watna, we chose 'To Make You Feel My Love' for a similar reason: both of our dads are Dylan nuts and my fiancée has seen him with her Dad 3/4 times now!

That's lovely I love when you go to weddings and a lot of obvious thought has gone in to the music/reading choices for the ceremony. Makes the day so much more memorable and personal.

Thanks so much for those, I do like Galileo, but loved the Spiegel im Spiegel piece,

listening away here, cant wait to bring these ideas to the wedding church group, hopefully they will play them for us fingers crossed

Make You Feel Mt Love is always a winner by Adele (written by Bob Dylan).

Have performed it numerous times at churches. Always goes down well, and doesn't seem to upset the priest!!

Sleepy

It's by Bob Dylan keyboardcrook...

Garth Brooks, Trisha Yearwood, Billy Joel, Bryan Ferry, and Adele have never sung the song. Never.

You personal tastes aside Sleepy, let's not lose the OP in opinion.
