Re: A bedeken question

[Pete Rushefsky <klezbanjo...>]

I often play doinas for bedekens and veiling-- think i've read somewhere that 
doinas gained popularity as an instrumental substitution for the badkhen's role 
in the ceremony in creating a cathartic element to the pre-khupe proceedings.

Does anyone know of specific music for the groom's procession to the bedeken?  
I've always just played freilachs, but have been firmly told by a client that 
there exists  a traditional "bedeken song" (or pre-bedeken song, actually).  
None of the rabbis or chazans I contacted knew of one--so any info would be 
greatly appreciated!
