IF' 'r#IERE IS an organ at your disposal)
for your wedding, one would be ,advised to
choose music written for the organ pecifically
and not music that has been transp(;se(l from
orchestra music for the organ.
Music which was expressly composed for
organ and can be used in a welding ceremony
is the Fantasie in C. by Franck and the Bell
Symphony by Henry Purcell.
The traditional ."I,ohengrin'' wedding march
by Richard Wagner is still popular, but is so
over -used that it has become a musical cliche
not befitting either the music or the ceremony.
Mendelssohn's march from "Midsummer
Night's Dream" is the other popular compo-

If you are getting married and "Oh., prom-
ise me" and "Because" aren't your kind of
music, (lon't despair, there are so many other
musical selections from which to choose tor

to explore them all.
Venerable .Iohan11 Sebastian Hach should
not be discounted when choosing sacred music
..to usher in your guests, for the processional
or recessional, and then to -usher out your
guests.
If you have an ear for the Baroque, hire
yourself a small ensemble of musicians (call
local music schools or colleges an(I,,,ask them
if they have musician:; interested in playing
for weddings).
It should be remembered that if your ‘ve(1-
