Aunt Mandy's Wedding is a cheerful and pleasing cakewalk in AABBACCC form with a 4-bar introduction and a 16-bar interlude before the final C-strain whereby the AB- and C-strains are written in the major keys of Bb and Eb respectively. The stirring C-strains contrast strongly with the lyrical A- and B-strains. In this adaptation for recorder sextet, the melodies are shared by the treble and 1st tenor whilst the rhythm section has a very strong supporting role. Just the stuff for a ragtime wedding!
