  Below you will find
our repertoire list for Jewish wedding ceremonies. Even if it is a
mixed (Jewish/Christian, for example) wedding, it would be a nice touch
to add a few of those pieces to the prelude. (see
the program below)
It is always advisable to
consult with your Rabbi to determine which piece would be appropriate
for specific parts in the ceremony.
Hana'ava Babanot (The
Fairest of Maidens)
Erev Ba (Evening Comes)
Y'did Nefesh (Beloved of my Soul)
Erev Shel Shoshanim (Evening of Roses)
Dodi Li (My Beloved is Mine, and I am His)
S'u Sh'orim (Look up to the Gates)
El Kabir (Mighty G-d)
Medley: Od Y'shama & Mazel Tov (The Voice of Gladness Shall
be Heard Again / Good luck to the Bride and Groom)
Siman Tov (Congratulations - Good Luck!)
Nigun (tune)
Yum Balalaika (Play Balalaika)
V'ha'er E'ne'nu (Enlighten Our Eyes to Your Torah)
Hava Nagila (Let's Rejoice)
Waves of the Danube ("The Anniversary Waltz")
Rabbi Elimelech Medley (in a Klezmer style)
Sunrise, Sunset (from “Fiddler on the Roof”)
For the processional, often there are two pieces: one for the entrance of the rabbi, family elders, groom and his parents, and bridal attendants, and another for the entrance of the bride and her parents. On occasion, the Rabbi or cantor will vocalize through their own entrance, and then the quartet will begin for the rest of the entrances.
During the ceremony, there is generally no music from the string quartet. Often the
cantor, if present, will sing here. |
