Wedding Music

Edward Elgar

This might be best played in the morning, but like the hymn Morning has Broken, it is good to hear at any time.

Johann Sebastian Bach

A fast and exciting aria about Spring being the season for new love

Antonio Vivaldi

Can anyone think of a good reason to sing this at a wedding? Not me. Lovely though it is.

Charles Gounod

Gounod used to be very popular - sadly out of fashion. Perhaps this song can bring him back.

Léo Delibes

An exotic duet, perfumed one might say. Nothing at all to do with a wedding, but comes under the heading of "Good tunes that people might recognise".

John Rutter

What a beautiful and appealing anthem.

Antonio Vivaldi

This work by Vivaldi has seized the public imagination, with its scrubbing strings, and vigorous exclamations of Glory.

Chris Williams

I love this. The repeated Alleluia's at the end, in canon are a nice touch.

Erik Satie

Satie's piece was written in 1888, but sounds so modern.

George Frideric Handel

This rousing chorus may have your audience standing.

Alec Rowley

Not known.

William Linley

One of my favourite vocal duets - simple, neoclassical perfection.
