Title:	Finding the Right Music to Make Your Day Joyous
Article:	The musical backdrop for your wedding consists of the songs you choose to make the ceremony truly your own. Perhaps traditional music is exactly what you want. For example, the Bridal Chorus from "Lohengrin" is the song most people associate with the bride coming down the aisle on her fathers arm. But this may not be the right music for your processional, even though your mother, or aunt, or future mother-in-law tells you this is the "right" music to introduce yourself to the friends and family gathered to celebrate your special day. The most important thing to consider when choosing your wedding music is that it fits the ceremony you and your fiance design and that it reflects your personal taste. While an organist or a pianist is the musician of choice for many ceremonies, there are other options you may want to consider. Perhaps you prefer a trumpet voluntary as the Prelude music for your ceremony performed by a quartet of trumpeters. Another alternative for the opening music is a violinist or cellist playing a classical piece by Bach or Beethoven, or an arrangement of a contemporary song that holds special meaning for you. If you choose a pianist or an organist, remember that you can work with the musician to adapt your chosen pieces to a tempo suitable to the mood you want to create with music. Vocalists add a touch of magic and spirit to wedding ceremonies. But choose your vocalist carefully. If your best friend offers to sing your favorite song as part of the ceremony, you need to consider whether he or she really has the talent and ability to do this well. Professional singers expect to audition for roles and its a good idea to ask several of them to perform the songs youve chosen to see if they will convey the meaning and beauty of the selections. When you look back on your wedding day, you want to remember the glorious notes your vocalist sent out to the congregation, not the flat note that ruined the mood. For smaller, more intimate ceremonies, a CD of chosen musical selections can be a good alternative to hiring musicians. There are a number of pre-recorded CDs available with the most popular wedding musical pieces. These are high quality productions from which you can pick and choose the songs appropriate for your ceremony. Many couples burn their own CDs with just the songs they want to include. If you choose the CD option, be sure you have a capable person operating the CD player who will know when to start and stop the music. A final note: Use your musical selections to reflect your personalities and to add to the splendor of your special day. The music is meant to complement the beauty of the day, just as flowers and candles are part of that beauty. Only you can decide on the right music for your ceremony.
