Listen to some music samples from
Harp Shadows for Maryland Weddings and Maryland Special events!
The Bridal
March
from Lohengrin, composed by Wagner, is the most popular
wedding ceremony music processional for brides. It creates a very powerful
entrance, which is the reason for its popularity. The
harp gives this traditional piece of music a unique and
elegant flair. The BridalMarch is
appropriate for most, but not all, weddings.
Trumpet Voluntary,
composed by Purcell, is a fine alternative to the Bridal
March. It has a stately pace. When the bride
does not choose it, it is often used for the bridesmaids'
processional.
Pachelbel's Canonis a beloved
favorite, which many people enjoy. It can be used in a
number of ways. It is popular for the bridesmaids'
processional, but it is a quieter, more meditative piece.
It is often used as a wonderful solo during the wedding
ceremony. ..
The Lord's Prayer
by Malotte
is often performed as a dramatic solo during Protestant or
Catholic ceremonies. It can be played either as a harp
solo, or in duet with a vocalist and a harp accompaniment.
Ave
Maria
by Schubert is performed most frequently in specifically
Catholic wedding ceremony music. It is also a dramatic solo.
Like the Lord's Prayer, it can be performed with harp
alone, or vocalist with accompaniment.
The
Wedding March
by Mendelssohn is the most
powerful, traditional recessional as the wedding party
exits. It has a joyful, upbeat tempo, which is the
reason for its continued popularity.
