WEDDINGS AND RECEPTIONS
Many people do not know the
variety of music that is available to the modern brass ensemble.
The characteristics of brass instruments lend themselves to the celebration
of life that a wedding symbolizes.
A brass quintet can be soft and sensuous
or bright and noble.
Crossroads Brass can provide
a sampler (free of charge) to demonstrate
the variety of music that
is normally played at wedding ceremonies.
Most pre-service music is
subdued and introspective
to put everyone into the proper frame of mind
while guests are being seated.
The bride’s processional is generally
characterized as stately or regal
befitting her entrance to this life
changing event. Most post-service music is bright
and joyous and announces
the end of the ceremony and the beginning of the couple’s new life
together.
The choice for wedding music
however is ultimately a matter of personal taste
and whatever is chosen
is entirely appropriate. This is an event the bride and groom
will remember
for the rest of their lives.
Below is a sample of music
titles that is arranged into pre-service,
processional and post service
