Free Wedding Sheet Music
A great way to cut down on the cost of your wedding, especially if you have family members or friends providing your music.
The free sheet music you will find is in the public domain. That is, the copyright, if there ever was one, has long since expired. That means you will find classical music such as Bach's Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring and Air on a G String, the Pachelbel Canon, Gounod, Elgar--music that is at least 100 years old.
However, if this is your taste, this free wedding sheet music can save you a lot of money. Sheet music isn't cheap!
Alternatively, some contemporary composers, as a way to get their music known, offer free downloads of their sheet music at their web sites. In addition, a recording of the music is provided. Of course, most of the music is for sale, but you might like their freebies!
Musicians may also post free wedding sheet music at their web sites, but most often you will find recordings of the selections that are part of their wedding repertoire.
You'll find that music is available for a wide variety of instruments: Organ, piano, winds, and strings, as well many combinations of small ensembles.
Another benefit of free wedding sheet music sites is that often there is a recording of the music, even if it's just a MIDI file. This can help you plan which piece you want for each segment of your wedding...
Some music download sites offer free trials, that is, they have some pieces available for download, although the rest of the collection requires a fee.
Most free wedding sheet music will be in PDF format, but often it is in Scorch for Sibelius, which is a music composition software program. You will need to install the plug-in for this.
Be warned that doing a search for free wedding sheet music can be an exercise in frustration. Many of the sites you turn up will be junk sites filled with links to more link farms that are filled with Google AdSense ads. These sites come and go fast, too. When you find a gem, be sure to bookmark it right away so you can find your way back to it.
As you search for free wedding sheet music, go ahead and listen to pieces you don't know. You may find something you really love and want to incorporate into your wedding.
