i play for weddings and our church has a pretty long asile and i still play it faster than that because u can use a repeat and it is a pretty long song in the first place
There is such a thing in this world as a "repeat" if needed it to get the bride all the way down the aisle. At this tempo it sounds like a funeral dirge.
it doesn't surprise me at all that a big church would have a phony organ. it happens all the time now. no one cares anymore about real pipe organs. and you can hear what you get, can't you. what a racket.
being someone who has played this at weddings, you do have to play it much slower for an aisle this long. You don't want the bride to fall on her face trying to get up there fast enough, nor do you want her to be embarrassed at the awkward silence of her walking after you've finished playing. So it really has to be just right, you time it beforehand to make sure you've got it down...and that tempo was correct for that particular aisle.
This is St John Evangelist Catholic Church in Plaquemine, La. It has AWESOME accoustics, and as late has had many more musical venues there. It's great to see many more people enjoy this beautiful church!
This is the music that's going to be played at my wedding in Oct of this year. I can't wait for this to be played when I walk down the aisle on my wedding day! My Fiance has already got teary-eyed when we went to listen to our music-selection with our organist for the ceremony!
An amazing piece of music. All I would ask is that congregations do the bride the honour of standing up when she arrives, that brides everywhere walk down the aisle SLOWLY (especially to music like this) and wear something grand to befit the size of the church! :-)
If I'm not mistaken, the bride requested that the congregation remain seated for her entrance. I did a wedding once where the bride requested the same, it's kinda weird but I guess everyone is different.
I don't know why they didn't, but when I was married years ago; circa 1982; I asked the congregation remain seated because I heard God say "This is practice." ANd I wanted Him to have a humble sign from me that I heard Him. Everyone was wondering about that, I didnt really tell them why. That was at the Union Church of Pocantico Hills, Westchester, NY. Now I call it a first level "ringing in ceremony" for for the Ring Lord Grail King. (SIGH))))
Although to my ears, there's NOTHING better than a Walker(they only sample AEolian-Skinner organs, mainly G. Donald Harrison era organs)but I must admit that this Allen didn't sound too bad as I've never in 40 years heard a good one. That aside, the performance was excellent! 5 stars for sure!! Very good job and thanks again for sharing.
Just saying, If this sized church has an ALLEN!?!? No wonder the trumpet overpowers the whole thing.

That's only a 2-manual Allen!?!?!?! I would have guessed a 3 manual pipe or 3-4 manual Allen/Rodgers.

I agree too....the congregation/guests SHOULD ALWAYS stand up when the Bride arrives. I thought it was kind of rude to see how they didn't do that.
