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!

The poems in Lauren Clark's debut book, Music for a Wedding, move fluidly and unforgettably between the rituals of monogamy, death, loneliness, and the body in search of what might last forever. In the abandonment of those who die and those who leave, Clark's speakers are orphic in their use of song as a mode of enduring the hours. Like sybils, Clark's poems make the entrails of what's left behind luminous, even if what is presented is darkness, "that low velvet we make / within ourselves". Their poetry is at once free of the formalities associated with lyric poetry and full of its own novel shapes that only Clark could devise. Their poetry queers our understanding of poetics and what a book of poems can be by dwelling in intimate corners of the self that may seem otherwise insensate without their taking us in to witness such depths. In Clark's hands, the whole of the world--in poetry and on the ground--is preternatural, requiring of us dedication and devotion. But not to the usual rituals of mourning and prayer. Rather, "darkness is to remind [us] what [we] could not see before", that in the absence of being with others, the only true devotion left is grief.

For solo cello, this book is a collection of straightforward wedding arrangements without piano. Inside you will find the most commonly requested music for wedding ceremonies, from traditional favorites to beautiful classical pieces that are sure to provide an elegant musical experience.

Here--as requested by many--is the 2-staff edition of our consistent and long-time best seller, "Standard Wedding Music for Organ" (70/1550L). Like the first book, this compilation is divided into two sections for ease of use: section one serves as a resource for the prelude, and section two provides a variety of well-known processional and recessional options.
