This is a wonderful album, musically. The sound is clear, the choices superb.
BUT - and it is a big but - if you are planning to use tracks from this album for your wedding there is a potential for gross confusion because the digital index is for a Maria Callas album. So be warned, and make sure that whoever is in charge of ensuring that the right track is played at the right time has their wits about them.

3.Hiawatha's Wedding Feast/Petite Suite De Concert (Sargent) by: Samuel Coleridge-Taylor

For me the interesting thing about Coleridge-Taylor is that there is a familiarity about his work on first hearing. I suspect this is because he was such a prominent composer in his day and greatly influenced contemporary and later composers. His tragedy was dying so young and so his fame was quickly outshone. I can almost guarantee that the Petite Suite de Concert will have a comfortable familiarity about it for you even though this will almost certainly be the first time you've heard it.

4.Music for Weddings from: Classic FM

Music : Music for Weddings

Weddings often bring out the best in music, and this `Classic FM Music For Weddings' certainly reflects the type of music being played at today's happy occasions.

It has though been superseded by the 2CD Classic FM `Weddings 2008' which not only gives a little more choice but more importantly divides the music into two categories - religious weddings and church weddings, for it is easy to forget that sacred music (loosely termed as that which was written for the church or a religious occasion) is not allowed to be played at civic weddings while the registrar is present.

With that in mind, this is still a good album of lovely music, and although suitable for all church services, you should check with the registrar ... Read More:

Those planning a civil wedding will appreciate having so many different non-religious pieces to choose from, and the quality of the music is very good. There is plenty to choose from to fit many different styles of civil ceremony.

It was only after I bought "A Bride's Guide to Wedding Music" that I then discovered "A Bride's Guide to Music for Civil Ceremonies" so if you come across the former first, be warned that it's meant for church weddings (although it doesn't specify this in the title!). The inlay inside however is quite clear that the music is meant predominatly for church weddings. Some very well known classics in here that have been heard in lager adverts to children's programmes and therefore nothing too original.

I bought this CD after being impressed by the Naxos disc of `John Rutter's Requiem. That was something of a revelation, and probably the strongest recording of that work available. This disc is far less impressive.

The Mass of the Children is a fine work. As when recording the Requiem, this Naxos version uses the chamber ensemble version of the work rather than the full orchestral version. As with the Requiem the performance is top notch, both musicians and voices. No one should expect a piece called `Mass of the Children' to be as deep or searching as a Requiem and this is indeed a lighter work. John Rutter was inspired by his experience of singing in Benjamin Britten's War requiem in 1963, but it is a lighter side of Britten's choral ... Read More:

Choosing wedding music had been getting a bit boring several CD's later and hearing the same old classics repeating themselves. After receiving this CD it gave my a lot of inspiration for music for a civil wedding. There were some well hidden gems in this including an instrumental of "Unchained Melody" which had everyone in tears, and Vivaldi's "Largo from Concerto for Guitar" which was beautiful. The CD offers a wide range of choice, so if you are looking specifically for a harp piece, or guitar peice, contemporary or piano, they are all segregated ready for you. This is the best wedding album I've come across so far.
