This intermediate digital download arrangement for woodwind quintet offers six popular wedding-music selections in one collection at a 50% discount. These six selections are perfect for college groups, amateur ensembles, and professional quintets. As always, I have included an alternate bass clarinet part in lieu of a missing bassoon. With the CMP Wedding Music Collection, your audiences will enjoy hearing:
Johann Sebastian Bach's "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring," from Cantata BWV 147 “Herz und Mund und Tat und Leben”
George F. Handel's "Air" from the Water Music Suites
Handel's "Arrival of the Queen of Sheba" from the oratorio Solomon
Jeremiah Clarke's (Attr. Purcell) "Trumpet Voluntary"
Richard Wagner's "Bridal Chorus," from Lohengrin and
Felix Mendelssohn's "Wedding March," from A Midsummer Night's Dream
The popular “Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring” is from Bach’s Cantata BWV 147, written in 1723 during his early years as Thomaskantor (music director) at the world-famous Thomanerkirche, a Lutheran church in Leipzig, Germany. Handel’s “Arrival of the Queen of Sheba,” from the oratorio Solomon, is a wedding music staple. It was composed in 1749 to depict the bustling preparations and fervor surrounding the Queen of Sheba's regal state visit to the UK. Handel’s perennial favorite “Air” is from the Water Music Suites, which were first performed in 1717 for King George I at an aristocratic celebration aboard a royal barge headed up the River Thames in London, England.
Clarke’s “Trumpet Voluntary,” written around 1700, was also known as the "Prince of Denmark March," and found renewed popularity when it was performed at the wedding of Charles, Prince of Wales, and Lady Diana Spencer in 1981. The "Bridal Chorus" from Richard Wagner’s opera Lohengrin is a staple of American and European wedding music. It is famously used for the bridal processional, generally known as "Here Comes the Bride." Finally, Mendelssohn’s “Wedding March,” from his Incidental Music for A Midsummer Night’s Dream, was written in 1842, five years before Mendelssohn's death. Although originally scored for various configurations, this unique setting for winds will delight your audiences and add just the right touch of class to any wedding.
