1990 Moeller organ at Calvary Church, Charlotte, NC
Matrimonial Magic
If this music makes you think of weddings and beautiful brides, you're right on target. This broadcast is a collection of preludes, processionals and other pages in praise of matrimony and the emotions and circumstances which lead us to the altar. Whether it be Handel's Hornpipe or Mendelssohn's familiar Wedding March, a Salute to Love by Elgar, or Duke Ellington's "In a sentimental mood", you'll be amazed by the various ways composers have dealt with love and its ramifications.
Trumpet tunes and blessings, salutes to love and lullabies, it's all part of the package when two people tie the knot at a June wedding, and we provide the music appropriate to a chapel or cathedral creating Matrimonial Magic.
