A commanding start to any wedding ceremony.
Full Title Trumpet Voluntary by John Stanley (1712 - 1786)
Notes This is originally for the organ - it is the second movement of Voluntary 5 from Stanley's Opus 6, "Ten Voluntaries for the Organ or Harpsichord". It is likely to get the congregation on their feet without the need for any announcement.
