Trumpet at your Wedding
The wedding trumpet player has one of the best jobs in music - we get to be there on one of the happiest days of someone's life, watching it happen and adding to that feeling of grandeur. You want the wedding music to be perfect for your special day, and I would love to help you decide on just the right ensemble to make your day all the more enjoyable.
Instrumentation
I play most wedding ceremonies as solo trumpeter with organ, but there are plenty of other options: trumpet and piano, trumpet and string quartet, brass quintet, two trumpets with organ or piano, etc. I'd be happy to help you find other musicians, or to book the other musicians myself (I know you have other things to worry about). I work with a swing band that puts on a great show for wedding receptions, and I know dozens of wonderful classical musicians who do consistently professional jobs at wedding ceremonies.
Repertoire
This is just a sampling of the music I've played at previous weddings - I'd be happy to play any music you'd like to hear. Besides the first two listed, which are the most common, these are in no particular order.
- Trumpet Voluntary (Prince of Denmark's March) - Jeremiah Clarke (formerly attributed to Henry Purcell)
- Trumpet Tune (sometimes called Trumpet Voluntary) - Henry Purcell
- Trumpet Voluntary - John Stanley
- Bridal Chorus from Lohengrin - Richard Wagner
- Te Deum - Marc Antoine Charpentier
- Rondeau - Jean Joseph Mouret
- Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring - J.S. Bach
- Ave Maria - Franz Schubert
- La Rejouissance (The Rejoicing) - George Frideric Handel
- Wedding March - Felix Mendelssohn
- Hornpipe (from The Water Music) - George Frideric Handel
- Air (from The Water Music) - George Frideric Handel
If there are any of these tunes you'd like to hear that I don't have sound clips for, please feel free to call me (706-207-1438), and I can sing you a snippet or two (alternatively, Amazon.Com has a feature that allows you to hear parts of songs when viewing recordings).
Locations
If your wedding is in Athens, Atlanta, Augusta or elsewhere in Georgia, contact me - I'd love to help make your day as beautiful as you imagine it will be.
