Wedding Music

A vocal solo can be a meaningful added touch for a wedding. You can use a female (soprano or alto) or a male soloist (tenor or bass), whatever your preference is. Soprano and tenor voices can sing in the higher range and the alto and bass voices typically sing in the lower range. You may wish to have a duet on a piece such as the popular "The Prayer" by Sager/Foster which requires a first-class soprano and tenor. Other possibilities are a quartet (soprano, alto, tenor, bass) or octet (two sopranos, two altos, two tenors, two basses) for a fuller, choir like sound. The most common places in the wedding for vocal songs are during or after the seating of the mother's, or during communion or the unity candle. Some weddings have one vocal piece and some others have two or three. For those who have access to a church or community choir, you may wish to have them sing which can be a great honor and addition to the ceremony. If you would like to have a choir but do not have access to one, you may wish to hire one such as a community children's choir or an ensemble from a community adult choir.
