CD 1: Before the CeremonyGentle music to put the guests into a happy mood before the ceremony beginsCD 2: Arrival VoluntariesMusic to accompany the wedding party as they enter the venue, including the famous Wedding March from Wagner?s LohengrinCD 3: Vows and PrayersUplifting music to signify both the solemnity and the happiness of a weddingCD 4: Signing the RegisterReflective music to help the guests concentrate on the importance of the occasionCD 5: CommunionMainly liturgical music suitable for the most serious part of the ceremony CD 6: Departure of the Bride and GroomThe music included in this set is suitable for every kind of wedding, from the grandest royal ceremonial occasion in a great cathedral with a full orchestra, choir and soloists, to the most intimate service with only an organ or harp, or perhaps just a CD player on which some of the tracks from this album can be played.The programme covers favourite pieces of liturgical music suitable for all types of religious wedding services, as well as secular works for non-religious occasions, including civil ceremonies. The works are suitable for all the various stages of a wedding, with a section devoted to liturgical music for services that include communion or the lighting of candles, although these pieces could also be used during other parts of the ceremony.A number of the works are heard here in special arrangements using an organ instead of an orchestra, sometimes alone and sometimes with a singer or trumpet soloist, in the way music is traditionally performed at most church weddings.
