6/30 Barcarole by J. Offenbach
A barcarole is a folk song sung by Venetian gondoliers, and the music is characterised by the rhythm which sounds like the flow of the water and the gondolier's stroke.
Offenbach's barcarole is probably the most famous barcarole and comes from his opera, The Tales of Hoffmann.
This delicate and flowing piece of music would be suitable for the entrance of the bride (the procession), as it has a steady speed and it conjures up romantic images of couples sharing intimate moments on the waterways of Venice.
