Unconventional Wedding Music
on: July 30, 2004, 08:36:43 PM
I will be playing at my uncles wedding in about 7 months and need about 30-40 minutes of music to (hopefully) "entertain" the guests as they are entering the building (not sure if it's a church...they are not religious people). I don't want to play corny wedding tunes like the Wedding march, bridal chorus, jesu joy of man's desiring ect... I have already decided I will play the Chopin Nocturne in G-Major (op. 37 no. 2) and maybe the F# Major one (op. 15 no. 2) and I already know the Gminor Op. 15 no. 3. What other music would you reccomend for this wedding. I was thinking maybe the bach preludes transcribed by busoni....
This music should be appropriate for this "joyous" occasious *cough*.....

Perhaps mix up some classical pieces with more "familiar" pieces: Maybe insert some Andrew Lloyd-Webber (his Pie Jesu or other softer pieces of his from Phantom, Sunset, Aspects...) in between a Liszt Liebstraum, a Faure Barcarolle, a Mendelssohn Boat Song...
Additionally, transcriptions/piano parts to songs by D'Indy (misc. liebe), Mozart (Figaro's Sull'Aria), Delibes (Lakme Flower Duet), Faure (Pie Jesu), and Bach (Bist Du Bei Mir) would be lovely.

Maybe a late Prokofiev sonata? I'm partial to the A major.
