Wedding March No. 1


Is there really no recording of either of Gounod's Wedding Marches? Extraordinary.

Full Title Wedding March No. 1 by Charles Gounod (1818-1893)

Notes Composed for the marriage of H.R.H. The Duke of Albany, K.G. with H.R.H. The Princess Helen of Waldeck.

Has optional brass parts for three trombones, which intone the National Anthem "God Save The Queen" in unison.

There is also a Wedding March No. 2 (arranged for organ by George C. Martin, published by Novello).

Duration to follow

Performers required

  • Organ and three trombones (one would do - they play in unison)
  • Organ alone
