Trumpet Hymn or march at Princess Diana's wedding.
kaston3
heard it over BBC World Service radio in 1981 in the live broadcast of
the wedding ceremony. I think it is one of the most famous pieces after
Pomp and Circumstance, which I don't remember if it was played in the
ceremony. Trumpets sound throughout.
Can anybody give me at least a possible name and author?
Is the reportoire of the wedding available anywhere. A google search
was unsuccessful.
Thanks.

Well, I don't think you Googled very hard, kaston3. A search on:
+"Diana Spencer" +wedding +music +trumpet
produced a link on the first page of results that gave the following:
Royal Wedding Music:
(Prince of Wales and Lady Diana Spencer, at St Paul's Cathedral on 29
July 1981
CLARKE Prince Of Denmark's March (formerly ascribed to Purcell).
CLARKE Trumpet Tune (Charles' Processional)
CLARKE Trumpet Voluntary (Diana's Processional)
COATES 'Dam Busters' March
DEARNLEY, C. Kyrie and Responses FP
ELGAR 'Nimrod' from "Enigma Variations"
ELGAR 'Pomp and Circumstance' March Nos 1 & 4
HANDEL March from Overture to 'Occassional Oratorio'

*******
The first three pieces on the list are most probably the top contenders
for your Trumpet Hymn or March. It's up to you to find mp3s on the web
and decide which one is *the* one.
Good luck.

I'm rather glad I didn't watch the event ... can they have _been_ any
more hackneyed or philistinish? The Mathias must have been the
occasional commission: is it up to his usual standard?
The William Ferris Chorale in Chicago did a concert for his 50th (I
think) birthday, which he attended, and two or three years later they
were invited to a festival in Wales somewhere, and who was the first
person they saw on a city street when they got there, but Sir William!
He remembered them fondly.

what I was looking for:
Trumpet Voluntary by Clarke.
Being a foreigner in Britain or the US I wonder if this music would
sound out of place out side a wedding or concert, for example a
graduation processional in a non-traditional European High School,
becaused it maybe associated to weddings. How about the same in an
American or British High School?
The repertoire for the wedding is welcome, I couldn't find it.
Thanks.

The music for Prince Andrew's wedding was much classier; Renee Fleming
rather than Dame Kiri for example.

Can't fault you there. But it could have been worse. It could have been
Joan Sutherland!

I think we really ought to get Dickless some restraints.

From the whole repertoire of the 17th century,
this number is probably the (non-religious)
piece most often performed in Britain for the
last 50 years. (So you can safely reuse it
for almost any occasion.)

When was that? The last few times I've seen Ms. F. on TV (Mormon
Tabernacle Choir "Xmas" program, Kennedy Center Honors), she certainly
was no longer singing like she did at the Lyric years ago -- in
*Susannah*, most memorably, for instance.

***CORRECTION***
I didn't mean Renee Fleming, I meant the late, marvellous, Arleen Auger.
Apologies for any resultant misunderstanding.
