Wedding music applies to music played at wedding celebrations, including the ceremony and any festivities before or after the event. The music can be performed live by instrumentalists and/or vocalists or may use pre-recorded songs, depending on the format of the event, traditions associated with the prevailing culture and the wishes of the couple being married. ==Entry and ceremony== There are many different styles of music that can be played during the entrance and ceremony.〔("Wedding Ceremony Songs" )〕 During the service there may be a few hymns, especially in liturgical settings. Music can be used to announce the arrival of the participants of the wedding (such as a bride's processional), and in many western cultures, this takes the form of a wedding march. For more than a century, the ''Bridal Chorus'' from Wagner's ''Lohengrin'' (1850), often called "Here Comes The Bride", is the most popular processional, and has been traditionally played on a pipe organ or by a string quartet. The piece achieved popularity after it was played during the wedding of Victoria, Princess Royal to Prince Frederick William of Prussia in 1858.〔Emmett, William (1996). The national and religious song reader. New York: Haworth Press. p. 755〕 Some couples may consider traditional wedding marches clichéd and choose a more modern piece of music or an alternative such as Canon in D by Johann Pachelbel. Since the televised wedding of Charles, Prince of Wales and Lady Diana Spencer in 1981, there has been an upsurge in popularity of Jeremiah Clarke's "Prince of Denmark's March" for use as processional music; the piece was formerly (and incorrectly) attributed to Henry Purcell as ''Trumpet Voluntary''.〔Dan Fox (2007) (World's Greatest Wedding Music: 50 of the Most Requested Wedding Pieces ) p.7. Alfred Music Publishing, 2007. Retrieved January 4, 2011〕〔Lefevre, Holly (2010) (The Everything Wedding Checklist Book: All You Need to Remember for a Day You'll Never Forget ) p.127. Adams Media, 2010〕 At the end of the service, in Western services, the bride and groom march back up the aisle to a lively recessional tune, a popular one being Mendelssohn's Wedding March from ''A Midsummer Night's Dream'' (1826). Another popular choice is Widor's Toccata from ''Symphony for Organ No. 5'' (1880).〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Classical Wedding Songs )〕 Weddings in other cultures have different formats. In Egypt, there is a specific rhythm called the ''zaffa''. Traditionally, a belly dancer will lead the bride to the wedding hall, accompanied by musicians playing the elzaff, on drums and trumpets, sometimes the flaming torches. This is of unknown antiquity, and may even be from the pre-Islamic era. At Jewish weddings, the entrance of the groom is accompanied by the tune ''Baruch Haba''. ''Siman Tov'' ("Good Tidings") meanwhile is an all-purpose celebratory song. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Wedding music」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
