The Recession

This is where everyone leaves the place of the wedding ceremony and traditionally this was always carried out to Mendelssohn’s Wedding March. In this day and age wedding couples seem to request everything but the Wedding March. Anything seems to be appropriate for the recession but most people seem to select something that is jubilant. The music played doesn’t have to be any particular length. Here are some suitable examples:

2nd Arabesque – Debussy

The Arrival of the Queen of Sheba (clip) – Handel

Cadiz – Albeniz 3 mins 34 secs

Dizzy Fingers – Confrey 1 min 49 secs

Golliwogs Cakewalk – Debussy

Grand March from Aida – Verdi

Italian Concerto 1st Movement – Bach

Italian Concerto 3rd Movement – Bach

Marigold – Mayerl 2 mins 53 secs

Prince of Denmark’s March or Trumpet Voluntary (clip) – Clarke
