[TPIN] Wedding/Church Repetoire

[Tim Swensen]

Your list is pretty decent already, but you might consider adding:
   
           Sound the Trumpet, Volume 1  (Edited by Dale Tucker
                  and published by H.W. Gray Publications)
                  [In this book is a nice little "Air Trompette" by Telemann,
                   the Mouret Rondeau in the proper key of D, and a couple of
                   modern processionals -- one by David Lasky and one by
                   Noel Goemanne -- plus other baroque works.]
   
           Baroque Wedding Album for Trumpet & Organ (Edited by Anthony Newman
                  and published by T.D. Ellis Music Publishing)
   
           Suite in D Major, by Jeremiah Clarke (published by Musica Rara).

  I've also found The Diane Bish Wedding Book to be a good source of
  traditional wedding material.
   
  And although I don't have it, C.J. Seipp publishes a Complete Wedding Book,
  (I think that's the title).
   
  As for church services, I think you might enjoy branching outside the Baroque
  tradition and trying some nice modern arrangements of traditional hymns.
  Get the book of arrangements by Douglas Smith called "Thine is the Glory."
  Also, investigate the three books of arrangements for Phil Smith published by
  Curnow Music called, "Great Hymns", "More Great Hymns", and "Great Carols".
   
  One last suggestion:  If your organist is up to it, you might try William Walton's
  "Crown Imperial" march for processional or recessional at a wedding.  It works
  best with two trumpets, but could work as a solo with organ.
   
  Let me know if you need more ideas.

  I’m getting real tired of playing the same tunes all the time for wedding ceremonies and church 
services. My biggest problem with this is at a church where the congregation is more musically learned 
than most. They’ve heard me do most of my tunes already and I hate to do repeats for them.

Please suggest a few tunes that you use most often in church/wedding situtations that work well with 
organists and that you enjoy playing. I could use suggestions on both processionals and slow/lyric 
pieces.

The ones I do most often are:

The Classical Wedding - Wallace/Head
The Joyous Wedding - Wallace/Head
Six Processionals - Handel/Concordia
A Simple Song - Bernstein/Boosey
Panis Angelicus - Franck
Sheep may Graze - Bach
Ave Maria - Gounod
Arioso - Bach
Trumpet Tune - D. Gabrieli
Trumpet Finale - Manfredini/Concordia
Hornpipe - Handel/Johnson
Baroque Composers of the Chapels Royal - Concordia
Baroque Music for Weddings - Concordia

Thanks,

Dave
