Solo Flute
		The sound of the flute has been admired since before recorded history, and its popularity has never waned. It carries well, whether outdoors or in a large cathedral, yet is intimate enough for a small room or a tiny mountain chapel.      Solo flute can be an ideal choice for any location, and is a frequent choice for outdoor events. Many instruments can be impacted negatively by minor fluctuations in temperature and humidity, or are too large to be easily transported. The flute is made of metal, so can more easily withstand the elements, and is small enough to transport anywhere and to move quickly if the weather should change.
	A Few Suggestions        for Wedding Music Suitable for Solo Flute        First, please don't see this list as a limitation. There are infinite options. This is just one set of possibilities to get things started. Really, most music can work for any portion of a wedding, depending on the style of wedding you choose and your music preferences. These are just a few commonly selected choices to get started. Processionals Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring (J.S. Bach) Sheep May Safely Graze (J.S. Bach) Canon in D (Pachelbel) – this one is really better with      more than one instrument, but it's workable for solo      flute and quite popular Bridal Chorus (Wagner) – otherwise known as "Here      Comes the Bride" still a popular choice for the more      traditional wedding The Lover's Waltz (Jay Unger and Molly Mason) Recessionals Wedding March (Mendelssohn) – this is the old      traditional standby and still a common choice Allegro from Sonata in F Major (Handel) Minuet from Suite in A Minor (Telemann) Numerous movements from Telemann Fantasias      for Solo Flute Celtic tunes – jigs, reels – ask if you want some      suggestions here – there are many        The Sarabande from Bach's Partita for Solo Flute is exceptionally beautiful for a meditative moment.  Any popular song usually sounds great on solo flute, as do hymns, folk songs, and transcriptions of popular classical selections.
