Something for the weekend. The Triumphal March from Aida, by Giuseppe Verdi. A play written in 1971 and set in the Old Kingdom of Egypt, the first part of the March has always struck me as the passing of History set to music.

The beginning of my husband’s and my married “history”. I chose it for our wedding march almost 57 years ago! My mother, the church organist, was at first reluctant…”It’s so pagan…” But so is Mendelssohn’s.
My bride and I are newly weds by comparison! Thirty-seven years this December! Our wedding march was Trumpet Voluntary by Jeremiah Clarke:
My husband chose this music for the entrance to our nuptial Mass.
43 years in NOV.
How very beautiful
