Diary of Planning a Wedding in Edinburgh Monday, October 08, 2007 Choosing Music For your Civil Ceremony This weekend I spent a few hours choosing some music for our ceremony. In a civil ceremony you can more or less choose what you want for music as long as it is not religious in any way. I am having a piper to pipe me into the ceremony, but wanted some nice classical music to play on a CD as guests were arriving and while we were signing the register. I am not very knowledgeable about classical music so I spent a while listening to clips of classical music on Tesco Downloads and finally suggested the following pieces: For Guests Arriving: Serenade in D Minor (London in Phillharmonic Orchestra) Meditation from Thais (Yo-Yo Ma & Kathryn Stott) Air from Water Music (Berlinner Phillharmoniker & Riccardo Muti) Canon in D (Acedemy of St Martin in the Fields and Sr Neville Marriner) For signing the register: Air on the G String (The National Phillharmonic Orchestra Baroque Ensemble) Labels: Wedding Music posted by S Thomson @ 5:08 PM   0 Comments: Post a Comment << Home
