Summary

The role of music at a wedding cannot be overstated as it shapes the entire ceremony and heightens the emotions for all in attendance. All the arrangements in this must-have compilation are organized into four sections: Pre-Ceremony, Processional, During the Ceremony, and Recessional. Additionally, a 4-page guide will aid brides, grooms and pianists in choosing music for the ceremony. Each song includes a write-up about the music, chord symbols and lyrics, and most of the pieces are in vocal ranges appropriate for vocalists. This eclectic mix of classical standards and new pop favorites will have great appeal to excited brides-to-be!
