This is the Day
It's all so familiar but also the beginning of an uncharted adventure. This week's Pipedreams program explores wedding music in its broader implications. We'll have traditional processionals, historic works in celebration of a joy-filled day, exotic pieces from Finland and the Czech Republic songs and ballads about true, perfect and wondrous love, an anthem about an amiable dwelling place, and even a warning lest fools rush in. For June brides or newlyweds at any time of the year, it's music which proclaims "This is the Day".
