Some of the selections are not complete tracks, which is somewhat disappointing, but only somewhat (the disc is designed to provide a single disc resource of the broad spectrum of music appropriate especially for the Anglican marriage service). The typical Mendelssohn selections from 'A Midsummer Night's Dream' and Wagner's Lohengrin are not included here, because they are discouraged in a sacred worship service - as advocated by the Book of Common Prayer.

5.0 out of 5 stars So beautiful you can smell the incense!, April 27, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Music for Your Wedding - A complete guide to Hymns, Psalms, Anthems and Organ Music for your Wedding (Audio CD)

This recording captures the beauty of cathedral worship - actually transports you there in such a way that you not only hear the sound, but can smell the incense as is typically used often in Anglican and Catholic worship. This recording is of a quality that I can give a copy of this to people getting married and not have to worry about making a tape of my own! (I am a full-time minister of music/organist in a church.)
