Wedding Music

Charles Gounod

This is a super, stately French wedding march. Recommended.

Walter G. Alcock

A sumptuous march by an under-rated composer.

Pietro Bognetti

An unknown piece by an unknown composer.

Johann Sebastian Bach

An aria with a showy obligato cello part.

Théodore Dubois

A complete suite of wedding music for organ, providing music for the complete service.

George Frideric Handel

Can anyone make sense of the plot of Handel's Berenice? Not me! But no matter.

Louis James Alfred Lefébure-Wély

A light bon-bon of a piece - great fun to play and listen to.

Rolf Løvland

An evocative pop song from Norway - it's Eurovision entry in 1995.

Sigfrid Karg-Elert

A dignified organ piece, based on a Lutheran chorale in praise of God.

William Faulkes

A good celebratory piece in triple time.

Rudolf Friml

A delightful confection from the 1920's - unusual.

George Frideric Handel

This song from an opera is an engaging number, and well-known.
