Canon in D : Pachelbel - This is a beautiful melody, and a very popular ceremony piece, it is an eight bar theme that repeats itself over and over, changing a little each time. It starts slow, at a nice walking pace and can be used as a Processional, for the Seatings or for the Bridal Party's entrance. Ave Maria: Schubert - A gorgeous piece of music put to religious text, Scott plays a fantastic instrumental guitar version that most always brings tears to peoples eyes. Ave Maria is also at a nice walking pace, lending itself well for Seatings and the Bridal Party's entrance, it also can be used as a solo during the ceremony. Por Ti Mi Corazon : M. Ponce - This is a Mexican love song from the mid-twentieth century, it is very romantic, has a recognizable melody and can be used anywhere in the ceremony. Romance for Guitar : Traditional - A well known guitar melody, it is quaintly romantic, and can be used anywhere in the ceremony as it sounds great played either slow or faster for the Recessional. Lagrima - F. Tarrega - An exceptionally beautiful piece written for the guitar during the Romantic Era. Perfect for any entrance or played faster and an exit tune. Jesu Joy of Man's Desire : J.S. Bach - The most well known tune Scott plays at weddings, everybody has heard it sometime during their life. It can be played slow for the beginning of the ceremony, works very well for the Processional, or can be played a little faster for the Recessional. Air on the G String : J.S. Bach - A slow paced, but very moving and emotional song that works well for Seatings and Bridal Party entrances. It is also a very popular song for a solo during the ceremony. Minuett I : J.S.
