Tune of the Day: March of the Priests
from Gluck's “Alceste”, arranged for flute and keyboard
This “Sacred March” is taken from Act I, Scene 3 of Christoph Willibald Gluck's 1767 opera Alceste.
We think it has a somewhat Christmassy sound to it, so we deemed it appropriate to post it now. Many people have also chosen to play this march as a wedding processional, and it is indeed a valid alternative to the traditional Bridal Chorus (“Here Comes the Bride”) by Wagner.
Thanks to Marcello for suggesting this piece!
