Sing it with me: "Here Comes the Bride... All Dressed in White..."
A Wedding Processional announces the bride's entry and is the music that accompanies the bride (and often her father) down the aisle on her wedding day. The Processional is usually a grand piece of music, and lasts the duration of the bride's walk down the aisle, ending at the altar/front where her future husband awaits.
Popular (and GRAND) Processionals include:
* Jeremiah Clarke's Trumpet Voluntary * Henry Purcell's Trumpet Tune * Richard Wagner's Bridal Chorus (from his opera, Lohengrin) - more popularly known as "Here Comes the Bride"
* Mouret's Rondeau (YouTube is a great place to find samples (or full tracks) of these pieces.)
Wedding processionals needn't be GRAND or MAJESTIC. They can be subdued in mood as well. For example, a popular wedding processional chosen by brides and grooms is the famous CANON IN D by Johann Pachelbel.
