I feel a processional coming on! Since I'm playing the organ for a graduation, I did a review of my processional/recessional choices. Here are my favorites:
- Largo in E-flat Major, B. 109 -- Frederic Chopin
- French Suites for Piano, Suite V, Gavotte in G Major, BWV 816 -- Johann Sebastain Bach
- Six Sonatinas, No. 4, Andante con espressione in B-flat Major, K. 439b -- Muzio Clementi
- Six Ecossaises in E-flat Major, WoO 83 -- Ludwig van Beethoven
- Viennese Sonatinas, No. 1, Adagio in F Major, K 439b -- Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
- Sonata No. 2 for Solo Violin, Andante in A Minor, BWV 1003 -- Johann Sebastian Bach
- Prelude No. 20, Largo in C Minor, Op. 28, No. 20 -- Frederic Chopin
- Air from Orchestral Suite No. 3 in D Major -- Johann Sebastian Bach
- Trumpet Tune -- Henry Purcell/Jeremiah Clarke
- Arioso, Sinfonia from Cantata N. 156 -- Johann Sebastian Bach
- Pomp and Circumstance -- Edward Elgar
And here are a few extra tunes that might work for less formal prelude/postlude:
- Ave Verum -- Mozart
- The Heavens Are Declaring -- Beethoven
- Judas Maccabeus ("Thine Is the Glory") -- Handel
- Creation ("The Spacious Firmament") -- Haydn
- Auld Lang Syne -- Scotch Air
