I need music ideas for my Nursing school pinning ceremony. It is kind of like a graduation, but Pomp & ?

Question

Circumstance is not appropriate. I think instrumental or classical music would be best. We need something to use when we walk into the auditorium and something to use when we light candles. Help! Please! Thanks!

Answer 1

Seems like the best answer is the Aida.

Here's a better version, by the Canadian Brass, for your purpose

You might also try Elgar's P & C #2 in A minor

If you've got a fairly small graduating class, you could do Beethoven's Sonata Pathetique - Adagio Cantabile (Op 13, No 8, 2nd Movement) ... don't know if you'll find it on anything other than piano, however, it could be nicely arranged for  brass or strings.

... Okay, the classical purists can come out and beat me up now.

Answer 2

Try the march from Aida.

That seems to be the second most popular.
