Many of the musical selections on the previous page were picked out for
wedding ceremonies, and can be used in a variety of times during the occasion.
When Scott plays for a wedding ceremony, he arrives at the location well before
the beginning and plays background music starting when the first guest arrives,
he plays whatever has been picked out for the ceremony itself, and then more
background music until the guests have left the area. Sometimes, if desired,
Scott will also play music for the cocktail/dinner hour before the band of DJ
starts...AND HE CAN ALSO BE YOUR DJ, this makes a very nice transition into the
reception. For the ceremony itself, usually Scott will play a tune for the
seating of the Grandma’s and Mom’s, something for the Bridal Party, a piece for
the Flower Girl and/or Ring Bearer, the Processional for the Bride, maybe
something special during the ceremony, and a Recessional. All of the musical
choices, of course, depend on the particular ceremony and Scott is completely
flexible and able to customize any wedding ceremony to the Bride and Groom’s
wishes.
Here are some of the more popular musical selections, and when they work best during the ceremony:
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.
: 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.
:
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.
: The most well known tune Scott play’s 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.
: 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.
: Very nice up tempo, happy, bouncy song’s perfect for the Recessional. These were originally written for harpsichord, but they lend themselves well to the Guitar.
Gavotte
-J.S. Bach: Very nice up tempo, happy, bouncy song’s perfect for the Recessional.
It was originally written for harpsichord, but also lend itself well to the Guitar.
: Another piece most everyone has heard, played at tempo, it is great for a Recessional, but can also be slowed down and used anywhere during the wedding ceremony.
