Wedding Music for Piano is a beautiful collection of 22 of the most requested and cherished classical piano pieces for wedding ceremonies. From the timeless elegance of Pachelbel's 'Canon in D' to the majestic triumph of Wagner's 'Bridal March', this book is a must-have for any pianist looking to add a touch of sophistication to their wedding repertoire. Each piece has been carefully selected and arranged for intermediate-level pianists, with a focus on capturing the emotional essence of the wedding ceremony. Featuring compositions by renowned masters such as Mozart, Bach, and Handel, Wedding Music for Piano is the perfect musical companion for any unforgettable wedding day.

In my arrangement of Edvard Griegs piano- piece ?Weddingday of Troldhaugen? from the ?Lyric Pieces? I have simplified some passages, for example the many very large chords with an amplitude of a decime. Not every piano player has such big hands as Grieg probably had ;-) Also I simplfied this "Off Beat Rhythm" between left and right hand in the middle of the piece (page 3).Nevertheless, this is no ?Easy Piano? version, because I didn�t want to ?destroy? Griegs beautiful music. I kept the form, length and character of the original piece.

And what would a ?generic? Shakespeare comedy include? Certainly it would center around a pair of young lovers, probably kept apart either by social circumstances or obstructionist parents. There would probably be an important situation involving mistaken identity or some other intrigue, moments of both decorum and revelry, plus some comic relief along the way, something like Peter Quince and the ?rude mechanicals? in Midsummer Night?s Dream, or Dogberry and his bumbling constables in Much Ado About Nothing.) And the whole thing would likely be capped off by a wedding.

So here is a little suite which looks back beyond the great examples of incidental music by Grieg (Peer Gynt), Mendelssohn (Midsummer Night?s Dream) or Bizet (L?Arl�sienne), all the way back to Henry Purcell?s Ayres for the Theatre, published in 1697. It features a blend of 17th century forms and contrapuntal textures with 21st century ?wrong note? harmonies and changing meters in a diverting and accessible audience pleaser. Performance time is about 14 minutes.

The accompanying audio file gives you the first halves (roughly) of the first (Sinfonye) and last (Wedding March) movements. Yes, I know the Wedding March is in 3/4 time. Please don?t write to complain.
