Ok it is a classical piece that is played a lot around chritmas. no words. and it was played at my wedding on Dec. 15 of 2001. It isnt Cannon in D, It isnt the bridal march. I have heard it at Mass on Christmas eve. there are no words. And Michael W smith does a christmas medley and between sing we now of Christmas and the next sonmg it is played and it isnt O come O come Emanuel. Anyone…
 
Nope Julian but thanks for guessing. It played as the bridsmaids and groomsmen and flower girls came in. It is a common piece and I get it confused with canon in D.
 
Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring? Thats the one I always hear when the bridesmaids walk down. Its by Johann Sebastian Bach. Heard frequently during advent. You’ll encounter it in two forms, one is the simple chorale setting, the other is the chorale juxtaposed with an obligato melody, thats the part that most people are usually familiar with. There are words, but its effective when played just on organ or organ plus flute or oboe or trumpet, etc…
 
I’m trying to think of popular classical pieces that might sound similar to Canon in D.

Although it’s not a Christmas piece, I’ve hear it done around Christmastime and at weddings: It’s also in D, which may be why it could sound similar, although not a canon, and is obvious it’s not the same thing, but I remember when I was a kid and not as familiar with these pieces, I would sometimes start humming one piece and then go into the other without thinking.

Bach - Air on a G String

Here’s the Canon in D (Don’t know why they have a portrait of Mozart)

YES!!! You rock! Thank you very much. I never would have gotten that on my own.

I’ll bet it’s that one – I hear it at weddings often – including my own. 🙂
