Can someone help with classical music?

My church only allows classical songs played at the church. Can anyone recommend some classical songs to walk down the isle to other then the Wedding March and Pachelbel's canon in D Major? I was wanted something romantic and soft, but that still has that march fill.

TIA

I like Canon, but since it is so overplayed I wanted something different, and definitely no Here Comes The Bride for me.

I walked down the aisle to Vivaldi's Guitar Concerto in D Major Largo. It is soft with a nice tempo, great for walking down the aisle and not sounding like a march.

My BP walked down to Bach's Air on A G-String, also one of my favorite pieces. Nice even tempo for walking.

You can also select somthing from Vivaldi's Four Seasons.

HTH !

The site has a bunch of classical pieces that you can listen to samples of by clicking on the names.
Just replace the stars in the link with wedalert dot com ... this site is screwing up on the link for some reason (even when I use their add feature).
I like Nocturne by Chopin, I'll ask my violinist today what he thinks of it.

Wow, do you know I love this song, but I never knew the name. I think I might play that too for my BP processional too.

I love Canon in D but if you prefer others, go to itunes and type in any of the following so you can hear a sample. We may be using these for various parts of our ceremony at our church....
Trumpet Voluntary (Love this!)
Rondeau
Trumpet Tune
Ode to Joy
Ave Maria
Pie Jesu

Hope this helps.

My girls are walking in to Piano Sonato Movement #2 by Mozart. It's very pretty, you can also use it for the bridal procession.

There's a lot of good Bach Concertos. Although it all depends on how fast you want to walk.

I'm actually torn between cannon in d and Air on the G string. i think that's by Bach. very nice and wedding-ish.
my friend used Spring- of the 4 seasons by Vivaldi.
Good Luck!
