The Perfect Guide to Music for Weddings

The classical giants Naxos have done it again! This package includes 3 CDs of complete pieces (over 2 1/2 hours of music)that any bride (or groom) can use to chose music for their wedding. The sound quality is good enough, too, that you could use the recordings themselves in the ceremony.

Everything from the most traditional selections to more off the beaten path repertoire and from Bach to 20th Century selections are included along with a comprehensive booklet guiding you through the process of choosing music and musicians for your wedding and sample programs to help you put together all of the music for the ceremony.

This piece completely takes the guesswork out of choosing music for your wedding and is suitable for classical novices and experts alike.

Just one note...

I have not heard this album, so I cannot rate it as a whole. (The form made me include a rating, but disregard that.) However, I want to point out that track 36, the Pie Jesu from Gabriel Faure's Requiem is - well, from a requiem, a mass for the dead. The Pie Jesu is a lovely, gentle movement, and it has a beautiful and pure sound that does seem to fit the mood of a wedding. The Latin words, however, mean "Merciful Lord Jesus, grant them everlasting rest," where "them" refers to the dead.
