Greetings everyone,</p>
I have been hired for a wedding at an ELCA church next month. I met with the bride and groom last night to get things planned and this is what they came up with. I am the only musician who will be participating in the wedding, so I can within reason play however I want. There is no sung liturgy or anything special like that.</p>
Anyway, here's the pieces we chose:</p>
End of prelude/seating of mothers: JS Bach-Air on the G string *
Processional for all, including bride: Johann Pachelbel-Canon in D*
Hymns: For the beauty of the earth
Joyful, joyful we adore thee
Recessional: Trumpet Voluntary (Purcell/Clarke)
First postlude: Water music of GF Handel-2nd movement*</p>
</p>
Does anyone know where I could get transcriptions of the Air and the Water Music? I will probably just modify a piano transcription of the CiD, and adjust the organ/trumpet version of the Trumpet Voluntary that I have, but I am at a loss for finding the others. If nobody knows of an organ version, I could always repair a piano or solo/continuo edition if necessary. Any performance tips?
I don't know what the organ there is like-hopefully not neo-Baroque. I will post again after I email the church organist who was going to play, but will be on vacation.
