Wedding Music

A thrilling entrance piece for the bride - fast and exciting.

Joseph Haydn

Invite three archangels to your wedding to join the choir in this staple of the choral repertoire.

John Rutter

A traditional wedding blessing, in a lush rendition.

This is instantly recognisable as TV music, but the lilting tune is beautifully crafted by composer Howard Goodall to reflect the words of the 23rd psalm.

Malcolm Archer

There are many arrangements of this traditional air.

Jeremiah Clarke

This is an impressive piece, a call for the congregation to stand for the bride's entrance.

Gioachino Rossini

A charming wedding chorus with rustic echoes of Switzerland.

Felix Mendelssohn

The 'standard' wedding march - is it something of a cliché?

Henry Purcell

This is cheerful dance music for a choir celebrating a wedding, and makes a great wedding 'march'.

A modern American anthem - in Whitacre's beautiful chordal style.

John Rutter

Words from the psalms for a Royal Wedding. With a good coda.

Edward Cuthbert Bairstow

A traditional church anthem
